End of Weight Loss Timeline

[Mary Sarah Smith 7]

At what point did your weight loss stop and steady out? I'm six months post surgery and have lost 62 lbs since surgery and 82 lbs since my highest weight. I'm still about 20 lbs away from not being overweight according to the BMI charts and the clinic I attend. My weight loss has slowed down considerably which I assume is quite normal but I'm wondering if this is it and if this is my maintenance point. Or if I can hope for more weigh loss just at a slower pace. How long after surgery did other people's weight plateau for good?

Thank you!

Interesting question. I am one year today and I can say that the grace period on my sleeve was about 6-8 months—-meaning the weight came off through little action on my own part. My restriction and lack of hunger was doing the work.

At about 8-9 months my hunger came back, restriction became not as good and so if I did not continuously work at it through dietary changes and staying active my weight loss would have stopped at 8 months (98 pounds - which is the 60% of Excess body weight sleeve patients are expected to lose).

I hope this answer helps. Good luck!
