What happens when you reach goal??



Recommended Posts

Hi,

just wondering what happens when you reach your goal weight?? Does the Fluid get taken out??

I know I am getting a little ahead of myself, but am curious.

thanks

I am pretty much at goal and I have been at a stage where I am not gaining or losing for about 5 months I think you just find the right balance of Fluid and stick to it. I think I am ready for just a little more just to keep me on track as Im starting to snack more than I should. Hope this makes sense and helped a bit

That's exactly what I found too - I never had a particularly tight fill so I didnt hit goal in a blaze of glory, I just kind of petered out and left the Fluid as was. I kept up the same diet and exercise routine, and over the past 18 months have had two very small top up fills to keep me on track as I began to get hungry and eat more to the point where I kept having to lose the pesky 2lb I'd keep putting on.

I still run heaps and am very dedicated to my exercise and I still try my hardest to keep to a healthy diet - but realistically, I do eat more naughty things now as its just impossible to keep the kind of motivation going that you have when just starting out.

I just never stop dragging myself back on track and remaining vigilant.

      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.
