4Mths Post Revision to Bypass - Weight loss slowing down



Recommended Posts

So I am 4 month post revision sleeve to bypass and my weight loss is slowing more each month. I can't help but be nervous about reaching my goal. I know.... I know..... we are not supposed to compare ourselves to others but we know we all do..lol

1st mth - 15.2 lbs

2nd mth - 10.2lbs

3rd mth - 8.0 lbs

4th mth - 4.2 lbs

I have had some stalls in there also, of course. Especially this month I stalled for over 2 weeks, hense only 4.2lbs for the month. I have lost 52.6 since I started preop diet till not so I am very happy with what I have done so far. I just really want to reach my goal of 150.

I just wonder if you guys were noticing that you were still losing at a pretty steady average each month or if it was slowing down. I still have another 33lbs to lose to meet my ultimate goal. I do realize as we get closer goal and have less to loss it will slow and may be more difficult but i just am not ready for to stop losing yet.

Those of you that are veterans did you notice a slow down only 4 months out from surgery? Or when did you start to notice a slow down with your weight loss? How close to goal? I want to take the best advantage of my "golden time" after surgery.

It sounds like you have a good grasp on the reasons why we slow down as we go (like having less to lose over all), so that's awesome, first of all. You're already ahead of many people that may not even realize that! Also, you're looking at the month rather than day-by-day, so kudos to you!

Having slow and fast months is totally normal. Even a slow month is kind of a plateau. Being 4 months out, your body is still healing, so there is still going to be inflammation that causes your body to hang on to fat a little longer for fuel to heal.

As long as you are moving, staying on plan with nutrition and vitamins/supplements and getting in your Water, you should be fine.

I remember having those same thoughts then suddenly having a loss shortly after. Keep us updated! [emoji175]

      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.
