Hi I'm scared getting to goal what's going to happen? I'm so concentrated on getting there it seems easy losing the weight . When I get to goal will it be easy to keep it off? I hope it will be . I hope it will be the same thing I'm doing now exercise and watching what I eat. I don't want to keep losing?? Can anyone tell me how there doing when they got to there goal weight?? And how there keeping it there? Thanks

I'm almost 6 mos. out from my surgery & about to reach my goal weight. Like you I have much the same questions; the weight has come off so easily that I am concerned that I don't keep losing after I hit goal. I anticipate I will need to eat more Snacks and/or higher calorie foods. I have been losing about a pound a week the past 2 months & eventually need to stop. I'll look forward to seeing what replies you get to your topic.

When I get to goal will it be easy to keep it off?

hips

maybe, kindof, NO!!!!

I have successfully been at goal this past year

but.............you/me/all must continue to watch everything you put in your mouth just like you are doing now

there are many discussions on the board concerning how easy it is to gain weight!!!

i "think" some people think once they reach goal, things will be fine and they can kindof "loosen" up a bit

welll...........you can eat a "little" more - your tummy probably will allow you to - but you still must be careful

this is a forever new lifestyle you took on

don't worry about wilting away to nothing (even though i have seen a few people lose too much weight)

you will just maybe eat a few more calories et al if you find you are continueing to lose weight

great weight loss hips, (you too ruby )

I see goal in the very near future

WooHoo

both of you keep up the great job

good luck

kathy

congrats

I am 17 months post op from Bypass. Although our surgeries are different I am sure the maintenance phase is the same.

I work out 6-7 times a week, and keep my diet the same as I did when I was losing weight. Your body will find its comfortable weight. My goal weight was 150 and my docs was 175. I currently weigh 135. I go up and down from that weight. I truly feel that my body is comfortable between 130 and 140. I am still losing inches though.

The best way to stay on track is food logging. With food logs you can predict what your loss/gain will be. It is based off averages. One day you will go over your calorie goal and the next you might be under it. Hope that helps.
