Have you thought about your goal weight?

[chef neil 25]

Hi- I am 3 months out from surgery and many of my troubles are fading away-

dizziness very seldom- Doc. and I think it's dehydration issues.

eating/vomiting- yea- sometimes- sticking to ground and soft Proteins for a bit longer..

The question in my mind now- and one I never thought about, or have heard much talk about is-

What do you do when you hit goal weight?

How do you eat?

The classes all prepared us for pre op diet, the surgery, then the stages after surgery, and WHAM! I am quickly approaching goal weight- 35 pounds left and now am wondering, how do I stop losing weight?

will body automatically know when to stop? what if my weight I chose in my Head, isn't what my body wants??

I know not to go grab a cheese burger and fries- but considering my limited menu now- it would be hard to add in cals. to become stable.

I never have had this issue- and I may be over thinking this, but somebody has got to remember, know of, or been through it...

I haven't given it much thought at all but my surgeon sure has. Every time I see him he reminds me that I have to be at 160 within the end of year 1. I just smile and tell him I will. I'm far more interested in size. I have always been muscular for a female. Even as a thin teen. What with my age, the muscle issue and skin, I'm not too sure about the 160 ( I'm about 5 - 7 ) but I'm looking forward to no longer wearing plus sizes. But my surgeon, a man, just smiles back at me when I say that. I think it's called "failure to communicate".
