9 months post op- no weight loss in 2 months .. help?



Recommended Posts

so I go for my 9 month post op check up on Friday, and I have not lost ANY weight in the past 2 months. Does this mean I am done losing weight? that being said I did have a lower BMI to start with at 31.... I started at 215 and I am now at 175..... I was really wanting to get to 160 .... anyone else have an experience like this ? Im really hoping that I will continue to lose at least 10 more pounds but scared that I might be done :(

I too had a low BMI and went from 215 to 160. Then. Things a cruise and traveling got me back to 190. I am stuck. No breads, Pasta, lots of Protein, salads and Water. The scale hasn't moved in five months. I have bought a treadmill and struggling to try to get things going.

You've probably hit the end of the surgical weight loss. Any more is up to you!

A potentially helpful thing is to get a metabolism test done, that way you know how many calories your body burns when not exercising.

I want to do this myself, but haven't found a place to get it done yet.

I started at 240#. I lost weight real fast to 180#. I then stalled for 6 mos. During that time I started walking and doing other exercise. I lost inches but no weight. My Dr let me take Phentermine for 6 mos. I lost down to 150#. I am still exercising and walking, trying to get rid of the saggy skin. I'm still losing inches very slowly now.

Nine months is around when my weight-loss slowed down also. Now I only weigh myself every 3 to 4 months. Your body will still lose weight, but at a slower pace. Each time I hop on the scale and I'm down a few more pounds, but I do it very infrequently. This is help me to avoid becoming discouraged Or thinking like a dieter. I weighed myself around the holidays and came in at 190 1/2 pounds. I weighed myself a week ago and was down to 168. That's only 4 to 5 pounds a month. That said, I am already underneath my goal weight which was originally 180 and I wasn't sure I'd ever get that low. Now I'm going for 150. Then I'm going for plastic surgery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
