When did weight loss stop?

[Pepper1382 35]

Hey everyone! I am almost 3 months post op sleeve and down 60 lbs, woo hoo! I was just curious when other sleevers noticed that their weight loss stopped? 12 months? 18? Only 6? I am still hoping to lose a lot more and I am currently in a stall, so I need reassurance that I will still lose! Thanks everyone!

I am 10 months and I am about at goal. I really slowed at 8 months. I think it depends on how close you are to goal. If you have more or less to loose this depends on the loss and how long. I averaged like 3-4 pounds for the last 2 months but like I said I am about 14 pounds from goal. My body just hold on to the last pounds like crazy. I even work out harder now etc. I figured it will be about a year out that I will be at goal this July.

I believe there is no expiration date - the sleeve keeps working as long as you keep "working it".

I lost 150# in 14 months to get to my goal in Feb 2013 - definately was faster at the beginning but when I hit long stalls it was always due to excess carb consumption...

Since then I have lost another 15 or so pounds... sometimes hard sometimes easier.

I know you were asking about the "honeymoon" period - a real thing - but I wanted to point out that it is never too late and that there does not need to be an "end" until you decide to go into maintenance.

I have found myself in a 3 month stall starting at ~6 months. I know (from reading the advice of others) that I need to get back to basics....following all the recommendations and not letting myself slip into old bad habits. I have been really good about exercising and am confident that combining it with good eating habits and tracking my foods will jump start my weight loss again.
