Weight maintenance



Recommended Posts

So I’m just over 7 months post op. I’ve lost 76lbs and am at 128lbs (5’7”). I think that’s a bit low for me...too bony! I’d like to maintain or maybe put a few pounds back on.
Having a hard time getting to maintenance level calories without feeling like I’m going to explode or barf!
I’ve been adding spoonfuls of Peanut Butter, an extra Protein Shake, nuts etc. I talked to my dietician and that’s pretty much what she advised in addition to adding Condiments like mayo, salad dressings etc to up calories without the bulk

Anyone have certain things they have done to maintain or even put on a few pounds? This is just too bizarre having to think this way after being so focused on following the plan to lose weight! 🤪

I can't imagine at this point trying to gain weight, I'm still focused on the losing. Congrats.

I know. It’s hard to wrap my head around this. Scared I’m going to mess up and gain too much.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
