When will I stop loosing?



Recommended Posts

I have never had this question or problem ever... I like where I am right now (minus the excess skin)

So I keep expecting for my weight loss to stop. I am only 3 lbs from my goal my hair is super thin, I'm questioning if I need a wig, and wondering when it (my weight loss) will stop? Does anyone know? I have lost 120.8 lbs since October 15th, 2014. I am only 3 lbs from my goal of 135. How much smaller will I get? Also I'm afraid of getting rid of any clothes for fear I will gain it all back... Sigh... Any advice? Tips? :) all are welcome!

I increased my calorie intake so I stopped losing. My doctor said it was fine and suggested adding a Protein shake instead of more food. My 1 year was in April. I have not lost anything since February. I've lost 92 since surgery. I probably could drop another 15 but have no desire to do so.

Great advice, I increased my Protein to about 120 grams a day and I seem to have stabilized at 170 lbs. Still keeping calories at 1000 a day or less though.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
