NewSetOfCurves 1,553 Posted April 26, 2013 I started out right at the 40 BMI mark and am already at 35 pre-surgery. I am curios if anyone has lost too much weight. I REALLY want to get back to a healthy size after 10 years of being a plus size; however, I am not a fan of too skinny. Has anyone had to deal with the problem of not being able to stop losing weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted April 26, 2013 Well for me if I stick to my eating plan during weight loss, yes, I could continue to lose weight. I find that I have to eat more food, some times higher calorie to prevent this. To the one poster that wants a BMI of 22, that seems to be a low weight have you thought you may be too skinny at this weight? For me right now my BMI is just under 25(normal) and I have very little fat and I do have loose skin, it is what it is as they say. As you get closer to your goal you may change what you want to weigh. 2 ProudGrammy and NewSetOfCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ainsworth1 8 Posted April 26, 2013 sleeve master you are right!! i have just checked what my BMI would be at 125lbs and that is 23.5 so thats better I am small framed and 5ft 2. I agree I may change as I get closer to my goal, I would like to be a US size 6 which is a UK size 10. that would be perfect for me. I seem to be stalling a little at the moment but i am told that happens at 3 weeks? i am also transitioning onto pureed (which I am struggling with!) thank you Kat for asking this question! sleeve master.. i am interested what sort of higher calorie foods do you eat in order to maintain? thanks Rachel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you get closer to your goal you may change what you want to weigh. I know my BMI is a little lower than the norm for this surgery, but I have been over 200 and plus size for 10 years. I am very active and love healthy food, I just cannot portion control--aside from having a slow metabolism. So, I believe (or I have convinced myself) that this surgery is right for me. I guess what I want to know, is that if there comes a point where I have hit my ideal size (I am almost 5' 7" and medium framed, so a 6/8 looked good on me back in the day), what do I have to do not to look sunk in and/or too skinny? Amazon, what you said sounds simple enough: in a nutshell, just consume higher calorie foods? 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
