B-52 7,113 Posted May 9, 2012 Went to surgeon yesterday. Aside from complimenting me, he shrugged his shoulders and basically said there is nothing else we need to do. Don't expect much more weight loss,anything more will be a bonus. If anything, he said he would be concerned if I loose anything more significant because that would mean loss of vital tissue and muscle. Body fat % well below 15. So that's it, confirmed by the man himself...definitely on maintence mode now. Only advice given was to continue the high Protein Shakes for Breakfast, other meals portions should not be larger than a deck of cards, Protein based, Water, Fiber, exercise....see you in September.. 16 months total time.....

JustDoIt130 369 Posted May 9, 2012 You're such a lucky duck! And of course there's more to do- goals to set, accomplishments to....accomplish- they just don't need to be weight loss related! Run a 5k, build a table, learn how to do stained glass, learn Chinese....a few that come to mind.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopetolose 192 Posted May 9, 2012 Great job B52. I meet with the nutritionist in three months to go over maintanence. I dont think I am going to get an unfill. Im gonna see how I maintain with this, plus im still thinking I might do 5 more lbs or so. Should be interesting to see how maintainence goes. I think its gonna be pretty much following the same rules for a very long time now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cocoabean 430 Posted May 10, 2012 Awesome! And it itsn't really over, it just continues. The same as it was. Nothing really changes. Keep on going, just don't look for losses on the scale now. Look for non-gains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look for non-gains. Thank You...that's just about what my Dr said also....it just continues, don't expect much in the way of losses. He did not want to give me a unfil, he did not want to see any non gains also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
