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.

      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. 🤞
