I am not there yet but asked that question at the start. I would talk to your nut. You need to increase your calorie intake and find the balance that works for you.

Your body will level off and gain and then maintain. I am there right now. It is a difficult process but it is none the less part of this journey.

Caloric intake may be a factor and keeping a 5 lb up or down goal. You may have to up your calories to not lose any more. I now weigh myself once a week and I watch the 5 lb limit.

It is definitely something to get used to when all you have ever wanted was to lose weight.... :huh:

I suffer from reactive Hypoglycemia and am having a terrible time with it......I am so concerned I will gain too much back because of it....

Nevertheless keep a watchful eye on it and enjoy a little bit of freedom from the opposite of trying hard to lose the weight. :)

Calorie intake sounds like a good idea but I eat whatever I want I don't deprive myself If I want a peice of cake I have it just not often but I still eat small portions and I stay away from foods

No I meant if you keep losing that maybe you will have to up the calories bit by bit.

I don't count them either but I know when I have eaten more calories then I usually do. So upping a little each week will help stabilize your weight. Then you can work from there! :)

"How long after sleeve does the weight [loss] completely stop?"

Weight loss after surgery is not based on how far out one is from surgery. It happens because we change how much we eat and the kinds of food we eat. Therefore the weight loss will stop when you change your diet again.

I have read in one of the various Post-Op instruction guides that the weight loss with stablize about 8-12 months after surgery.

Just like on that show Extreme Weight Loss you got to get it while you can with-in that time zone, meaning for at least a year be super mindfull of your diet and lots of cardio and weight training. From what I gather the contestant on that show work-out 2-3 hours a day-maybe more. (I am not saying you have to do that just saying what they do to get from their weight to their goal weight in 1 year some lose 147 lbs or more in 1 year.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
