brandon_g 0 Posted September 12, 2015 And i didnt know how to answer it. The question was "how do you stop losing weight when you reach your goal?" I honestly have never given this one thought. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kranky813 477 Posted September 12, 2015 There are a lot of people who have given advice on this in the past. I am not to that point yet but one person posted that they will eat a tablespoon of Peanut Butter every night and that has helped. Others say that your body will adjust as you are able to eat more and you will slow down/stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted September 12, 2015 "how do you stop losing weight when you reach your goal? @@brandon_g eat a whole bag of chips and dip every night for the rest of your life!! kidding, kidding, kidding one way is to up your calories a little don't go overvboard!!! you can/should talk to your surgeon/NUT for advice i vote for eating a "few" more calories, little larger amount of food continue to follow the rules you've learned still talk to NUT chewing Water protein etc moderation by eating a "little" more don't go overboard NO conflict in terms here good luck kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller1109 116 Posted September 19, 2015 Well that is an issue for some of us. Mine is in my head. I have been losing weight for so long my head is telling me to not stop losing, it gives me a thrill to see the weight come off. However, I am 5'9 and 126. I will bounce between 124 and 128. It is a struggle all on its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGAnn2014 12,992 Posted September 19, 2015 Unless you develop an eating disorder (see @@miller1109 's post above), it's quite simple. Every few days or every week or so you just eat an extra 100 calories ... until you stop losing. For those who don't track their calories / macronutrients / food using a tool like My Fitness Pal and who don't really know how much they're eating, it can be challenging. But even they can add a handful of nuts to their daily menus or an extra Greek yogurt or some bread at dinner. For me, the challenge in maintenance has been to eat a little more nutritious food and not just over-processed foods. I have so learned to appreciate since I was sleeved which foods are full of nutrition and which are full of ingredients that just make me crave sugary, high-carb, over-processed crap. Slider foods will push all your craving buttons, making you struggle not to regain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
