I am not there yet but asked that question at the start. I would talk to your nut. You need to increase your calorie intake and find the balance that works for you.

Your body will level off and gain and then maintain. I am there right now. It is a difficult process but it is none the less part of this journey.

Caloric intake may be a factor and keeping a 5 lb up or down goal. You may have to up your calories to not lose any more. I now weigh myself once a week and I watch the 5 lb limit.

It is definitely something to get used to when all you have ever wanted was to lose weight.... :huh:

I suffer from reactive Hypoglycemia and am having a terrible time with it......I am so concerned I will gain too much back because of it....

Nevertheless keep a watchful eye on it and enjoy a little bit of freedom from the opposite of trying hard to lose the weight. :)

Calorie intake sounds like a good idea but I eat whatever I want I don't deprive myself If I want a peice of cake I have it just not often but I still eat small portions and I stay away from foods

No I meant if you keep losing that maybe you will have to up the calories bit by bit.

I don't count them either but I know when I have eaten more calories then I usually do. So upping a little each week will help stabilize your weight. Then you can work from there! :)

"How long after sleeve does the weight [loss] completely stop?"

Weight loss after surgery is not based on how far out one is from surgery. It happens because we change how much we eat and the kinds of food we eat. Therefore the weight loss will stop when you change your diet again.

I have read in one of the various Post-Op instruction guides that the weight loss with stablize about 8-12 months after surgery.

Just like on that show Extreme Weight Loss you got to get it while you can with-in that time zone, meaning for at least a year be super mindfull of your diet and lots of cardio and weight training. From what I gather the contestant on that show work-out 2-3 hours a day-maybe more. (I am not saying you have to do that just saying what they do to get from their weight to their goal weight in 1 year some lose 147 lbs or more in 1 year.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
