When Did Your Weight Stabalize



Recommended Posts

When did your weight stabalize? 12, 18, or 24 months out?

Hi @logicwand

So I am only 9 months out, so I can only comment on stabilising as it relates to ‘stop losing post-surgery’. I pretty much levelled out at 6 months. I really worked my programme, my starting weight and height are within cooee of yours.

So before the 6 months was up I was below my goal weight and have held pretty steady for the last three months.

I see your timeline - how is your weight loss going now,

I'm thinking I've hit my "new normal" weight 7 months after surgery. I've been hovering around 149 for a month now. It's the first time since surgery I haven't lost and actually saw myself gain a pound. I was 149 three weeks ago and then I was 150, now I'm 149 again. I think a goal weight of 130 is probably unrealistic. 20 pounds seems like a lot to go now. Haha. Maybe I should consider 140 and just continue watching what I eat, making sure I get enough Water and sleep, and continue to exercise. Ughh. I was hoping the weight loss results wouldn't stop 6 months out but I know I didn't have as much to lose.

I was thinking the same thing and was kinda bummed. I thought I was done losing. I had stayed at the same weight for over a month and a half. But then I jumped on the scale today and had last 5lbs. I just feel like I am losing at a much slower speed now.

oOOO! I hope that's what happens to me! Haha. That's so terrific. It's great to know that your body is still wanting to shed those pounds and you're not done yet. :D

Exactly! That's what I'm wondering. I think doctors consider your weight as stabilized if you stay around the same weight for at least 6 months.

I finally broke through 250 after a three week stall. I started doing Keto and going to the gym 3 times a week.

My workout:
20 minute Cardio (I try to do at least a mile)
Dynamic Stretches (bear crawls, frog jumps, inch worm)
Strength training (squats, lunges and all arm exercises are weighted.)
Another 20 minutes are cardio (my second mile)
Stretch and go home

My workout is never the same. Maybe download the Nike fit app great workouts for all levels on there.

Can you post a typical food day, how much Water you're drinking, how much Protein you're getting, and how much exercise you get?

      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.
