Hi Eveyone. Hope y'all are having a great day. I've been reading some posts on here about weight loss really slowing down during months 6-12. Is this true? One person said their doc said she should've lost more weight in her first 6 months and now she probably won't make goal. I'm really worried about this. I haven't lost a ton of weight since my sleeve date but I think my numbers are pretty good. Will my weight loss really slow down next month when I enter month 6? I have another 63 pounds to lose before I make goal. I didn't have this surgery to still be a fatty.

Please share your experiences with me and let me know how the weight loss went during the 6-12 month period.

Thanks everyone.

Like I said in the other thread, the sleeve does not have an expiration date. As long as you follow the sleever rules, you will continue to lose weight. You have the ability to hit goal and even go beyond.

Will your weight loss slow down? Yes, but that's true with any weight loss program. The lighter you are, the less calories it takes for you to sustain your life. In that case you will need to bump up your calories out by being more active or getting more workouts in. You'll also need to be really good with what you are consuming.

I wanted to get to goal as quickly as possible so I did everything I could. Now I'm 10.5 months out and undereating my sleeve and eating Protein first are habits. I lost weight every month and only noticed my weight loss slowing down in month 8 and 9, but I still lost 7 lbs each month.

There are some clinicians saying crazy things to people but I am saying that if you want to lose all your excess weight or more, you can.

Here's my first 12 month breakdown...and I have since lost 1 additional lb. since without trying. You can see where it slowed down. That's why encourage all pre-sleevers to lose as much as possible before getting sleeved. I really believe that helped me to get to my personal goal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
