well I'm three months post op, i lost 50 pounds and fast, then it slowed to a crawl,

I still can't eat much, and I watch what i eat.

and now I finally got my metabolism back to normal, as of a week ago, and now feel great. and i know that will help with the weight loss too, and yes I have loss a lost of hair,

oh well

I am a little more than 4 months post surgery and I am seeing similar issues. I lost almost 80 pounds overall but find that I reach plateaus and sit there at that weight for a while. I am still under 1000 calories per day and walk around 4 miles a day, trying to keep active. I watch the protein, drink 80 ounces of water per day and try to do everything I am told to do.

Right now I have been stuck at 216-217 for 2 weeks. This morning I dropped to 214 so I hope it is another stall broken and I drift down for a couple weeks. I want to get to under 200 pounds but it has become more and more difficult. Being cold outside is not helping because I would like to exercise more but at 20 degrees, it is hard to stay outside. I hope to drift down slowly then when spring comes, really go crazy riding my bike and walking and get down below 200 quickly after that.

I was at 206 lbs for .... 5 weeks or so? I really thought that was it and that my body was happy with our new weight. Just bouncing up and down a pound, back and forth. Then blam, outta nowhere, 5 came off. Then, 5 more. Then covid and 5 more, but that was 5 too many - had one morning of 190.8 and then I swear, the 5 covid lbs came back in 4 days.

The body does what it does. We're just helping
