Nice problem to have

I think what will work for me is making different food choices, and eating slightly more often - not just 3 meals and a little fruit, but having a larger snack mid morning or afternoon.

The bottom line is that you CAN gain weight with a sleeve, so it is obviously possible to stop weight loss as well.

Don't panic!

I lost 10 kilos more than what I wanted, and so I took the advice from a man on another forum who also lost more than he wanted. His nutritionist suggested he eat raw nuts and full cream milk. So he ate chocolate M&Ms and it worked for him.It took me about 10 months to put on 10 kilos.
I now have full cream milk, cream, icecream, chocolate and lots of butter and peanut butter to maintain my weight. Its a tough job, but someone has got to do it.

I'm 5 kilos from goal and have been for about a month, maintenance is easy, you don;t diet but just continue to eat and make healthy choices which has helped you lose the weight in the first place.
I have added a piece of bread a day and found that it did steady my weight loss.
So I guess what I'm trying to get at is you just change a few things in your diet. No more diets or calorie counting and enjoying a few peanut m&m's if you must with no guilt cause you will stop losing weight with these extra calories and find you maintane where your at, if you want tpo lose a bit more again, take those few extras out of your diet again.

All eays stuff, cause even though we have been sleeved we still enjoy the naughty foods just smaller amount of it.

Hi Janette
Not sure what you mean about the stomach taking 5 years to settle after the sleeve?
I've never heard of anything like that at all.

Hi Janette, Correct me if I am wrong but it takes about 5yrs for your stomach to settle after the big sleeve operation? Do you then go back to what you were originally eating before the operation or what you were previously eating???
