Weight loss after 18 months?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I'm frustrated with myself because I haven't lost as much as I expected. I got down to 207 but I've gained about 16 pounds back. I will be at the 18 month mark in October. Has anyone had success losing weight after the 18 month mark if they've made changes?

Thanks!

Still losing (working on converting fat to muscle and shaping my body) after 2 years. The key is going back to basics - stop grazing. Write it all down. Protein first and Water. Get moving if you haven't been. Looking back at photos of me from 2015, I was probably 300 pounds. I was 271 when I first saw my surgeon in 2016 and 246 on surgery day. I was 154 this morning, so I'm down about 150, but fluctuate between 152-162 most times. But exercising regularly and then not eating the calories I burn is necessary for me. Go back to the basics. you've got this.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
