When did you stop loosing weight?

I didnt hit my goal until 1 year 8 months out, at that point I moved to maintenance eating to stop my weight loss.

Hi Kendall,

I kept losing until 15 months. I have actually been working on keeping some weight on.

What is an Obsity Help Coach?

Someone who has received some training to help people as they make the transitions during their WLS journey and maintenance.

 

How does someone get certified? Is there a web link? Thanks!

Hi Eileen,

You can go the "Support Groups" tab, above. Then click the 'contact us' link. It will display contact information for Debbie and Cathy who run the program. You can call them or send them an email and get more information on the program. They just piloted the program this summer and are adding more sessions for those interested in persuing WLS Coaching. There will be more training coming down the road. There are also some other avenues for training if you are interested. I'm sure that they can aprise you or if you'd like to PM me, I'll be glad to share what I have found so far.

Wishing you all the best,

Barb

hi...i had lap-rny June15Th,06.i go back and forth ..lol.. the last yr i have went from 98 pounds to 146 ..lol..the last few mos i have stayed between144 to 148 ..Brenda in TX

I stopped at two years and hope to restart losing as I am 30 lbs from goal and it's driving me nuts!

I had my WLS almost 7 years ago, I lost until a year but bounced back 10 pounds to settle in.. I THOUGHT.  I stayed the same until last December, almost 6 years post, now I just discovered I lost another 12 pounds since December.

I wouldn't dream I would have done this!  I eat everything. It's so strange.
