Post op since 2011



Recommended Posts

Hi, this is my 1st on here. I am at a loss for this. I had my surgery in 2011 and I lost 100lbs and I can't lose anymore weight. I feel that if I can't eat normally, why can't I lose weight? I feel very disappointed and up set with my self. Sometimes I feel why did I ever do this if I can't lose weight to me sometimes it feels pointless.

Ok. Take a deep breath. Would you have been able to lose 100 pounds on your own? You've done great losing that weight and should not be so hard on yourself!! I don't know where you started, but my group's definition of a successful surgery is losing 60% of your excess weight. Not everyone loses 100 % of their excess weight. I think you should be proud of your accomplishments!!

First off Thank you. I started out at 400. And No, I don't think I would have lost 100 some but not that much lol . Am really trying to stay positive but it's so hard.

Are you still sticking to the guidelines you were given? Still exercising, eating mainly Protein, keeping your calories low, avoiding sliders etc?

Sometimes people don’t realise that they are not being as strict with themselves as they were when they first got the surgery.

It might be time to go back to basics

Can't rely solely on your surgery to lose the weight and maintain that weight loss. Your best bet would be to use your tool in conjunction with something that helps you make the right food choices like Weight Watchers or Noom. Start an exercise routine. Don't feel like you have to go at it hard core. Start walking or taking exercise classes like zumba.

Good Luck!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
