Lost 74lbs but want help on how not to lose anymore!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery May 15th 2012 and I am 5'1 and weighed 206!!!!!! I am currently 132!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My concern is that I am a size 4 and I don't want to lose anymore weight. I am eating candy to maintain. What can I eat so I don't keep losing but small enough that I don't feel stuffed!

Don't waste the calories on sugars. There are plenty of sleeve-friendly healthy choices. Avocadoes, nuts, butters and creams made of nuts...whole milk and orange juice...you can always drink a bit more than you can eat, and healthy drinks that are also calorie laden are plentiful. If you need a treat take a teaspoon ful of EVOO, and a couple of ounces of avacado, and season to taste, take a hard, sharp cheese and use like a cracker, and snack on it through the day.

I'd increase your carbs, just until you start gaining and then maintain that amount. I've heard that's how it's done.

Do you have a nut?? I would def not try it with candy. Maybe even some full fat Greek yogurt everyday or add some heavier items to the meals your already eating (nuts avocado maybe 2% milk instead of skim)

I have also heard that there can be a 5-10 lb regain once you get to goal, so you might want to give yourself a little wiggle room.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
