From Weight Loss To Maintenance Stage

[Redmaxx 740]

So I have passed the goal weight that my surgeon has set for me. I was at my support group meeting last night and I asked one of the NUTS how do I go fro weight loss to maintenance and was told that my weight loss will slow down or stop when I am ready to switch to maintenance. WOW! I was thinking it was going to be more of an effort on my part (i.e. eating more to stop the weight loss). So I guess that I will just continue on with what I am doing and wait until my wife says that I am starting to look too skinny then start to up my calories. I have seen on here where people talk about a 10 pound bounce when they go from weight loss to maintenance. I guess I need to make sure I am at least 10 pounds under my surgeon's goal weight before I start to think about switching to maintenance.

Sounds like a plan. I'd go ten under too to bounce. 👍

Lol.

Nut says listen to your body.

Maxx says listen to your wife.

My Doc sets goal high in my opinion I am in the middle of normal. I also listened to my internist closely. Switching to maintenance has been the scariest most difficult part! Glad you have a group to see you through!
