Recommended Posts

When did your weight stabalize? 12, 18, or 24 months out?

Hi @logicwand

So I am only 9 months out, so I can only comment on stabilising as it relates to ‘stop losing post-surgery’. I pretty much levelled out at 6 months. I really worked my programme, my starting weight and height are within cooee of yours.

So before the 6 months was up I was below my goal weight and have held pretty steady for the last three months.

I see your timeline - how is your weight loss going now,

I'm thinking I've hit my "new normal" weight 7 months after surgery. I've been hovering around 149 for a month now. It's the first time since surgery I haven't lost and actually saw myself gain a pound. I was 149 three weeks ago and then I was 150, now I'm 149 again. I think a goal weight of 130 is probably unrealistic. 20 pounds seems like a lot to go now. Haha. Maybe I should consider 140 and just continue watching what I eat, making sure I get enough Water and sleep, and continue to exercise. Ughh. I was hoping the weight loss results wouldn't stop 6 months out but I know I didn't have as much to lose.

I was thinking the same thing and was kinda bummed. I thought I was done losing. I had stayed at the same weight for over a month and a half. But then I jumped on the scale today and had last 5lbs. I just feel like I am losing at a much slower speed now.

oOOO! I hope that's what happens to me! Haha. That's so terrific. It's great to know that your body is still wanting to shed those pounds and you're not done yet. :D

Exactly! That's what I'm wondering. I think doctors consider your weight as stabilized if you stay around the same weight for at least 6 months.

I finally broke through 250 after a three week stall. I started doing Keto and going to the gym 3 times a week.

My workout:
20 minute Cardio (I try to do at least a mile)
Dynamic Stretches (bear crawls, frog jumps, inch worm)
Strength training (squats, lunges and all arm exercises are weighted.)
Another 20 minutes are cardio (my second mile)
Stretch and go home

My workout is never the same. Maybe download the Nike fit app great workouts for all levels on there.

Can you post a typical food day, how much Water you're drinking, how much Protein you're getting, and how much exercise you get?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
