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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
