I am not there yet but asked that question at the start. I would talk to your nut. You need to increase your calorie intake and find the balance that works for you.

Your body will level off and gain and then maintain. I am there right now. It is a difficult process but it is none the less part of this journey.

Caloric intake may be a factor and keeping a 5 lb up or down goal. You may have to up your calories to not lose any more. I now weigh myself once a week and I watch the 5 lb limit.

It is definitely something to get used to when all you have ever wanted was to lose weight.... :huh:

I suffer from reactive Hypoglycemia and am having a terrible time with it......I am so concerned I will gain too much back because of it....

Nevertheless keep a watchful eye on it and enjoy a little bit of freedom from the opposite of trying hard to lose the weight. :)

Calorie intake sounds like a good idea but I eat whatever I want I don't deprive myself If I want a peice of cake I have it just not often but I still eat small portions and I stay away from foods

No I meant if you keep losing that maybe you will have to up the calories bit by bit.

I don't count them either but I know when I have eaten more calories then I usually do. So upping a little each week will help stabilize your weight. Then you can work from there! :)

"How long after sleeve does the weight [loss] completely stop?"

Weight loss after surgery is not based on how far out one is from surgery. It happens because we change how much we eat and the kinds of food we eat. Therefore the weight loss will stop when you change your diet again.

I have read in one of the various Post-Op instruction guides that the weight loss with stablize about 8-12 months after surgery.

Just like on that show Extreme Weight Loss you got to get it while you can with-in that time zone, meaning for at least a year be super mindfull of your diet and lots of cardio and weight training. From what I gather the contestant on that show work-out 2-3 hours a day-maybe more. (I am not saying you have to do that just saying what they do to get from their weight to their goal weight in 1 year some lose 147 lbs or more in 1 year.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
