sleeve 4 me 910 Posted May 28, 2012 Im curious, did you continue loosing weight after a year post op? Hmmmm let's see. Well I reached my goal at 9 months out (150) and dropped 6 more lbs after that...at 1 year post op I was at 145. At 14 months post op I dropped to 144 without trying, and it scared me a little because I had reached the goals I had set for myself (fit in my wedding dress and obtain a normal BMI) and was happy with that, and didn't really want to get any lower. So I started adding more calories/fat to my diet and was able to stay within the 5 lb fluctuation. These last few months I seem to be hanging more at 147-148. So to answer your question, I lost 1 lb after 1 year post op (without trying). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No offense taken what so ever! I agree I do look different LOL! Thank you! I didn't recognize myself for over a decade. I would see me in the mirror and see my eyes but not recognize me ...it's good to be back 3 allmyjoy, N/A and coops reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
