1 Year+ PostOP? Plz share ur experience here!

[Sara Adam 9]

Hello Everyone

I am 11 months PostOp i was sleeved on 15 june 2014, so far I have lost 88lbs , and still have 37lbs more to lose to reach my goal

I actually feel that i have made the best decision ever ...but now am hitting a plateau, i havent lost a lb for almost 5 weeks now!

I want my friends out there who r years post op and reached their goals or even those who still struggle to do it to share me their experience..

I have a lot of questions and also fears ...how do u reach ur goal? ...are u eating much more now or u can still control it ?

Is it hard to maintain ur success ? ... have u gained any weight since then? coz i read here some gained a lot of the weight back ! so how did it work that way? why is that?

I hope we can discuss it here ..so we can motivate eachothers , so we can reach goal for those who havent made it yet ..and know how to maintain it for good

Thanks

Sara

Congrats on the successful weight loss!! As you get closer to goal, the stalls happen more frequently. Just continue to exercise, drink plenty of Water or no calorie liquids and stick with fat free/lean Proteins and non-starchy veggies.

If I eat any potatoes, sugar, flour, rice, bread Pasta, etc...I am hungrier for a day or two and I will be up a pound or two for a couple days so I avoid those things 99% of the time.

I workout 2X a day (morning & night) 7 days a week.

I am able to eat more now, so I add extra non starchy veggies to my meals and Snacks.

Good luck and continued success!

Thanks for the support and the reply :-) ...so i shall be following a diet now ? .. how u work out 2 times without any carbs? ...do u eat fruits?

so your surgeon or nut hasn't had you on a specific eating plan up to this point?

I rarely eat fruits, due to high carbs. I eat at least 80 gms of Protein per day

My Nut told me to avoid simple carbs and sweets and to start my meal always with Protein then veggies and then rice or potato if any and to sure work out at least an hour/day

to be honest I dont workout everyday, But I beleive i should stick to more restricted diet!

My nutritionist told me the same as Sara's told her: first Protein, then vegs, then complex carbo if any room left.
