I never thought I'd ask this question and please don't fuss at me... How do I stop losing weight. I'm 100 pounds down, from an 18 to a 4, 5'3" tall, 130 pounds, 6 1/2 months from sleeve surgery. I really feel like I've lost enough so how do I stop losing?

Will you have an annual follow up on check up with your program? You need to speak with the nutritionist so she can help you plan how to eat on maintenance.

How many calories are you eating? Try to get at least 1200. So add in another healthy snack. If you work out, try to dial it back say from an hour to 30 minutes cardio.

I don't think anyone would fuss at you at all. It's a legitimate question once you hit your goal. Sometimes it's hard to dial it back. There is a post on here from someone who went too far and put himself in treatment for an eating disorder. So no, no one is going to be a jerk to you about a legit concern.

I added more fat and carbs when I got close to goal....full fat dairy, fattier cuts of meat, fruits, starchy veggies, and whole grains. I still ended up dropping another 12 pounds, and I kind of think I'm too thin, but am finally where my body seems to wants to be. I don't track my food but a couple spot calorie checks showed I'm getting 1400-1600 calories/day. I still shoot for Protein first and meet or exceed both protein and Fluid requirements. Just keep adding a little extra each week until you find your balance.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
