How do you know when you're done losing?



Recommended Posts

I am almost 7 months post op and have lost 110 pounds - which is A LOT in a short time. I had a lot to lose and my goal is about 40 more pounds at most or 20 more at least. BUT Ive been stalled for about 8 weeks and getting antsy that because I lost so much so fast that now I've hit the end of my active loss. I don't know if I can lose 40 pounds on my own. Guess I'm looking for encouragement or at least your different experiences.

Wow, I wanna be you when I grow up! Seriously though, 110 pounds in 7 months, wow! I'm stalled now at 4 months and worried that the scale will never move again even though I'm eating the right amount of calories and exercising. I guess I just have to be patient. I think you've still got another 5 months for loss -- don't they say a year?

You can actually continue to lose up to 18 months everybody loses differently.

If you've been stalled that long you are eating at maintenance. Eat less then 1000 calories a day. Track and log every morsel you eat. You'll start losing again. You basically stop losing when you don't continue to try once things slow down. You can do this. Your sleeve will still help you. You just have to put in some effort now.
