There are two phases to weight loss surgery, the weight loss phase and the maintenance phase. For RNY gastric bypass patients, the strategy for these two phases is different. You may be nearing the maintenance phase. I transitioned to maintenance at around 7 months. The following article provides my perception of the maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

You don't have to be in maintenance if you don't want to be.

It's easy to get "calorie creep" that slows losses. Be sure to track for several days to see where you're at. You want to stay below 1200 to keep the scale moving.

Stalls can still happen for a week or two.. so if your calories are in line, then that may be what is going on.

You're lookin' great!

Thank you so much!!!! I will keep that in mind watching my calories have been kind of hard for me to do because I been working 2 full time jobs but been focusing on not GAINING!!! But I will definitely start trying to count my calories.

It can be a stall if you are getting the right amount of Protein & Water but not too many carbs plus the right amount of exercising. I am at just over 1 year & have been still losing & still having stalls. But I do log what I am eating & trying to stay under a 1000 calories.

Maintenance phase at 218lbs woman? That makes no sense to me, im 196lbs n no were need maintaining, your a male so perhaps thats maintenance weight for you.

Try not to make excuses, I am not being harsh, but taking responsibility and ownership is the only thing that will help you, yes you work full time jobs that must be hard, but before you have a pee before bed, weigh your food, put them in packages, then eat the same thing for a few days that simplifies it enough. It really is not a long winded afair. I am just being honest, not judging you, as I dont weigh my food unless things are not on track.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
