Is it possible my weight loss is done from wls ?

HI, Well i am at almost 9 months out , and i have not lost any weight for almost 2 months now . I go back and fourth from 153 to about 155 . Is it possible I am done with all that i might lose ? I started this wls at 203 and now at 5'1 still weigh 155. any insight email me trishie

It could be, but keep doing the "right" things and you may continue with wt loss just at a smaller pace. I haven't lost much either. I started at 297 and have stalled at 216-219. Remember even 2# a month can add up. Hang in there.

nah...your body is just taking a breather--increease your protein and decrease carbs for a bit and change your exercise...you will keep losing....just dont start up with bad habits! i have stalled too!

Hiya Trishie, They do say that we lose the most weight in the first six months. I have some questions for you... Not that you need to answer them here, but maybe just consider them, and see if one or more of your answers to these questions might lead you to make a change in some things you are doing: 1. Are you eating enough? Some people are eating too little - I think we should be at around 1200 - 1400 calories per day now - according to my surgeon - maybe you can ask your surgeon or nutritionist about that. 2. Are you eating the right things? Have carbs snuck their way back into your diet? Are you concentrating still on proteins and veggies? 3. Are you drinking mostly water? Are you drinking too much caffeine? Have you let carbonated beverages come back? 4. Are you exercising? For me, I think this has been key. I began an exercise program back when I first had surgery and have continued with it. I now run 4 - 5 days per week, 3 - 5 miles per day. This has helped to keep my metabolism high and my energy level way up. 5. Are you taking your vitamins? Not that I think this will necessarily derail weightloss if you dont take them, but they help to keep our entire body healthy. Trishie, I am also on the short side - 5'2" and I had a bit more to lose than you did - I weighed in at 223 when I began this journey. We do lose more slowly than others because maybe we have less to lose but we should be able to lose the weight we want to. The above questions are the only things I can think of that could be hindering you. If you dont think any of them are the problem, maybe you can talk to your surgeon or nutrtionist and they can give you some other ideas. I can imagine how frustrated you are. I know how frustrated I was during a month long plateau so I can imagine how it is for two months. Keep us posted on how it goes with you. God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea

hi, thanks so much for all the replys . I know its my own fault that im stuck where im at ..... It sucks that those stupid carbs come back into your life lol . I will continue to try harder to eat more fruit and veggies. I am not much of a meat eater except for my chicken . I was really hoping to see 130 by nov. 22 nd my year for wls , but if i get closer ill be happy too . thanks again , trishie
