Question:
I would like to know if I still have a chance to loose weight after
2yrs post ops. I started out at 342lbs at 5'5 and now I'm 220 to 225. I would like to hear from some that started around my wt.I would like to get around 185lbs. — Stacie B. (posted on June 9, 2005)

hello I am 3 years out and I started out at 330lbs. I got down to 157 but
looked a little sick at my height 5'6" so now I am 170. I takes work
to maintain that weight but I have a physical job so that helps. Also I
still stop eating the second I feel full even if it is after 3 bites. I
never push myself and I am a firm believer it is a secret to my long term
success. Good luck in your journey.

Yes, yes, you can! I began at 343 5'2". I was stuck at around 191
for over 3 years. Then I got serious about losing again. So...I went back
to the basics. I pulled up pouch rules for dummies and followed it to the
letter. The results are slower but I am now down to 173 give or take a few
pounds. It is possible, I hear people say no once the window of
opportunity is over you don't lose. Not at all, disregard the negative
totally and concentrate on the pouch rules. Good luck and feel free to
email me personally anytime! My goal is to get to 165/163 to have my
plastic surgery. You can do this too.

Everyone is different of course. But as a long term post op, the only time
I can lose weight is when I'm sick. I've tried dieting post op and when I
lose I immediatly gain it back AND more QUICK. So I don't even try anymore
as this is how my weight got away from me pre op.

I am in the same boat but have realized that it is all exercise for me. I
can eat 1200 - 1500 cals a day and won't budge a pound but if I eat 1500+
and exercise, I'll lose. It's all up to my motivation at this point.

I am also in the same boat. I started at 5'9 and 371 pounds. I was a size
32. I am almost two years out and weight about 230. I am asize 18. The
lowest I ever was was 221 and still an 18 . I cannot lose any more weight.
I have tried everything. I do exercise very regularly. I am very fit and
can out kickbox some othe fittest in my classes. I have even started
running. Do you exercise? For some, that is all that is needed to jump
start. If you want to lose, you have to maintain a schedule of about 5 days
a week. Mainaining is about 3.
