Recommended Posts

I am so excited I woke up this morning hopped on the scale and boom I was 139..... This just keeps getting better!!!!!! I do have a question what happens when I reach goal, I have 19lbs to go how do you maintain that without continuing to lose more weight?:)

Congratulations!

For maintenance, one of two things is likely to happen. Either your loss will gradually taper off and hold steady without change, or you will be able to eat a handful more calories/day to maintain.

In the past, for me, it's been a hold-steady kind of thing--my body gets where it needs to be, and I just sort of continue to do what I did to get there. Others often need to add a couple hundred calories/day so that they don't keep losing. It's a trial and error kind of thing.

A banded friend had a tiny, tiny unfill to allow him to get those extra calories. He still has good restriction, but is able to tolerate foods that he had avoided during loss, like bread.< /p>

I had .2 cc of fill removed when I got to goal so I could eat more. Now I just weigh everyday if I am closer to 130 I eat more if I am closer to 135 I eat less. Its working so far....

139, WOOHOO!

congratulations! i'm SO hoping i can get to 139 too!

unfortunately, at my 2 year check up in april, my surgeon told me i was most likely at my lowest weight which was 173 at the time. he said i had lost 60% of the weight and i was considered a success and sent on my way. i wasn't happy with only losing 60% of the weight and was pissed that my doctor thought 173 was okay.

7 months later, i'm down an additional 13 pounds and i'm content where i am now but i'll still strive for the additional 20 pounds so i can be happy instead of content!

Thanks for all the input!!!! And Kalipso2 you are doing great and I wouldn't listen to the dr. just keep going until you are personally happy with where you are. My husband said to me this morning you look really thin I wouldn't lose anymore weight, while I thank him for his input I am going to get to my goal weight of 120!!!!!! I have not been there since I was a teenager and I am so close now I can taste it!!!!!!! Hey if the nutionist gave me this goal weight then darn it I am aiming for that!!!!! We can all do it!!!!!

I have been maintaining for a couple months now. I eat very similar to how I did when I was loosing. I added some good carbs and fat. I also added a snack. I didn't need an unfill to be able to add some calories. You are so close to goal, keep up the good work!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
