june13sleever 223 Posted May 14, 2012 So yesterday was my 11th month! Weighed myself...179. My restriction has consistently been the same for 4 months. I already add gravy, I don't drink only diet, and I don't eat anything light. I feel ok.. Not too thin yet...but I am worried...when does it stop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxbins 625 Posted May 14, 2012 Do you want it to stop? Add some good fats to your diet--guacamole, nut butters, almonds, walnuts. Add a Protein Shake made with whole milk. It may take a little time to achieve a balance of calories in, calories out but if you are journaling your food intake and add about 100 calories a day back into your diet per week, after a few weeks you will level out.

SkinnyOnMe 81 Posted May 14, 2012 BUMP I'm in the same boat as you. My sleeve is new but I am plotting on how I will make sure that I don't go below 150 but not above 170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimmy*custis 276 Posted May 14, 2012 I agree, I cant wait for that day when I have to worry about that! I am with foxbins, add some good fats here and there, you will have to do some trial and error but you will find that balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
june13sleever 223 Posted May 15, 2012 I eat those things. The problem is I eat as much as I can and even in my 11th month it is tough to get it all in. I ate some ice cream...I just can't finish it. I guess I will just keep losing, but I really would like to know when people stopped. I am still ok with my body and wouldn't mind losing more, but I just would love to not be so scared of becoming too skinny. I am 5'11" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted May 15, 2012 Even if you lose under your personal goal, from what I have read of people 24-36 months post-op, there is sort of a "bounce-back" of weight gain--usually between 7-15 lbs. I don't mind being a little under goal because if it happens to me I will be right where I wanted to be in the first place. Being under goal by 13 lbs, I don't feel skinny; I feel slender. I'm 5'8". I stopped losing at 14 months post-op as I added in more food and higher-calorie Snacks. If you can't finish a snack, put it away for later. I often do. Also, I keep Snacks in the car and my purse so that I can get in more calories when I am away from home without eating junk food.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
