Fear About Losing Too Much

So yesterday was my 11th month! Weighed myself...179. My restriction has consistently been the same for 4 months. I already add gravy, I don't drink only diet, and I don't eat anything light. I feel ok.. Not too thin yet...but I am worried...when does it stop?

I can't wait to see the responses to this! I'm not there yet but I often wonder this...

Do you want it to stop? Add some good fats to your diet--guacamole, nut butters, almonds, walnuts. Add a protein shake made with whole milk. It may take a little time to achieve a balance of calories in, calories out but if you are journaling your food intake and add about 100 calories a day back into your diet per week, after a few weeks you will level out.

BUMP

I'm in the same boat as you. My sleeve is new but I am plotting on how I will make sure that I don't go below 150 but not above 170

Oh, I look forward to the day when this is what I worry about :)

I agree, I cant wait for that day when I have to worry about that! I am with foxbins, add some good fats here and there, you will have to do some trial and error but you will find that balance.

I eat those things. The problem is I eat as much as I can and even in my 11th month it is tough to get it all in. I ate some ice cream...I just can't finish it. I guess I will just keep losing, but I really would like to know when people stopped. I am still ok with my body and wouldn't mind losing more, but I just would love to not be so scared of becoming too skinny. I am 5'11"

Even if you lose under your personal goal, from what I have read of people 24-36 months post-op, there is sort of a "bounce-back" of weight gain--usually between 7-15 lbs. I don't mind being a little under goal because if it happens to me I will be right where I wanted to be in the first place. Being under goal by 13 lbs, I don't feel skinny; I feel slender. I'm 5'8".

I stopped losing at 14 months post-op as I added in more food and higher-calorie Snacks. If you can't finish a snack, put it away for later. I often do. Also, I keep snacks in the car and my purse so that I can get in more calories when I am away from home without eating junk food.
