Menopause
Weight loss is harder post-menopause for everyone. But I still lost all my excess weight (110lbs) in just over 15 months and I only had a lapband to help me so no malabsorption and no physical limitation on food intake as long as I ate slowly.
It might be helpful to know which surgery you are having.
Highest 290, Banded - 248 Lowest 139 (too thin!). Comfort zone 155-165.
Happily banded since May 2006. Regain of 28lbs 2013-14. ALL GONE!
But some has returned! Up to 175, argh! Off we go again,
I went into it app 1 year post op... I had no problem maintaining in year 2...
But i also decided to go on HRT...my side effects from the change were debilitating...i follow bioidentical protocol for HRT.

HRT is hormone replacement therapy. My body stopped producing any of my sex hormons so I am now supplementing estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
