Hello everyone,

I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 3rd July 2019, my starting weight was 120kg/265lb and is now 83.5kg/184lb which don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with but at 5ft1 my ‘goal weight’ is around 134lb which seems so far away and impossible for me right now. Since October I’ve only lost 7kg and for the past month or so it hasn’t moved at all, just the same lb up and down. Is this it for me? Has anyone experience it stopping this early? Thankyou x

@sosewsue61 I hope so as it’s really getting me down now I have arthritis etc so exercise is hard for me but I’ve been trying hard lately and trying to do daily walks of around 8k steps etc and consuming around 1000cal but still nothing and it’s been like this for a couple of months now if not longer. I’m just worried as I’ve lost 62% that this is it :( one thing I’m not good with is fluids. I don’t drink much at all really, does that actually make a difference? I see it everywhere and of course you need to be hydrated but does it effect weight loss? Thankyou x

I hit 6 months in a couple of weeks. Ive been reading about this. Maybe try playing around with your calorie intake or do some intermediate fasting?
