That would be a good problem to have for me. Lol my mom had the problem with her bypAss, but it stopped when she started adding in some sweet stuff. Weight loss stopped immediately.

It has happened but it is a rare problem. If a person has a complication might prevent adequate intake. If a person develops an emotional aversion to eating, it could happen. I think about 99 percent of us have to work to get to goal and stay there. I am 3 years out and just don't see this as a major worry.

I just had this discussion with my surgeon at a one year follow up visit. I've lost 145 pounds and I am about 13 pounds past my pre-established goal. Weight loss has slowed dramatically for me.

He indicated that your body makes the decision for you. If you follow the plan for 12-18 months, the body will settle into it's comfort zone. You can push the limits through a strict diet and exercise plan but unless you can maintain that level, there might be some small weight gain; even when sticking to the diet plan. And that is the body adjusting to where it is most comfortable.

I found that my body just kind of settled at a weight that seems best for it. I can comfortably sit at 140 (which is 5 pounds below my goal weight) with no real dieting effort. If I want to push it, I can go lower, but I feel like my body just kind of found it's natural weight and maintaining it is definitely manageable.

I had a hard time stopping, I ended up 17 lbs BELOW goal and my size 4's were getting big. After talking to my dietitian, I started adding calories back in to get back UP to where I wanted to be. Who'd have even thought I'd need to gain weight......it took several months, but I did manage to get back into the low - mid 140's, still below Dr. Davidson's goal, but it give me the "pad" I wanted. I've been maintaining at or below goal for over 4.5 years now!!
