When did you weight loss stop? How long out?



Recommended Posts

I am currently 11 months out from surgery. I had RNY at 211 pounds and had great loss for 8 months. In total the last 3 months I have lost only 6 (less than 2 pounds per month). My diet is still very good, however today I am up 3 pounds from my lowest. Have I got bottom only 11 months out? I still have 16 pounds to lose to reach goal.

How many months out from surgery did you reach bottom?

My surgery was august 29th and my weight loss came to a still for almost 2 months. When i talked to my WLS DR he had me up my Protein, and lots of Water. This month the weight just started dropping again. Hope that helps, as far as when you will plateau its different for everyone. It could be 12-16 months after surgery.

This is only from my personal experience. (not a medical professional)

It's normal to see weight loss slow down as you get closer to goal and years out from surgery. You have less body fat to burn. But you can continue to lose weight.

You can continue your plan. the weight loss may start up again.

Logging your food? How many calories, Protein and carbs are you getting in for weight loss mode?

Exercise. Never do the same thing over and over. chane the types of exercise, Increase the intensity or amount of time.

My weight loss slowed down about 10 pounds to my goal. It was painfully slow getting the last pounds off. This is what maintaining looks like for me four years out. I have a ten pound weight bounce range. When the scale moves up. I dial in my diet and put more time in at the gym.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
