I have slowed down, and I hover at around 63KG most days, over the last two months I have only lost two KG, and I am happy with that. I would like to get down to 60KG eventually, so that I have a 'buffer' of 5KG, as I don't ever want to be above 65KG again.

My Surgeon told me last week that he was happy with my weight now, and not to lose any more.

I think that my body is choosing a set weight, but I have been naughty occasionally. This week it was Deli Chips and hommus dip for dinner! And I think this has helped impact on my weight loss.

As everyone says, having a few snacks like nuts, or dips ( one of those little trio lunch packs with a few bikkies) or a glass or two of wine a week with a cheese and bikkie will slow down the loss, without adding to your weight.

Its all about balance. If you have something naughty one day, just be good the day after!

Just changing food choices will stop you losing. full cream everything, more snacks etc. I add some almonds sometimes. Don't worry. You WILL stop when your body is ready.

Congratulations on your weight loss to date Bec. I have found the same; though I have slowed down a lot in the last two months; stay the same some weeks and drop some on others; on a whole loosing about a kilo a month now without trying too hard; though I am exercising. I notice if I have snacks (what ever I want, healthy, and a few bad ones), drink a couple of wines a week and don't try to loose weight at all; I am now stalling in my progress. I see my specialist soon for a check up; though he said not to go below 60kg ever; though my GP says I should be a maximum of 55kgs and if you read some of these pharmacy adverts on BMI the article suggest I should be 45kgs that one must be hog wash). I reckon within a year without trying too hard I should be at least at my dream weight of 60kgs. Look up LIB on here she has a thread with similar answers to which you seek; saying convert to full cream milk; no diet anything and eat as you please and your weight will stop declining. My dietican's answer I like the best; your weight will stop and settle, at where it wants to be at, as told to me. I hope this assists as I first didn't think I would ever get down to the weight I am now; then thought I would never stop loosing; now I realise it slows down eventually, if you follow your dieticans instructions. Take care.

Hi all,
Well I'm 5 months post sleeve and have lost 24kg since my op oand about 30kg over all. I'm stoked!! I weighed 72kg this morning.
I've had quite a few people begin to notice how thin I am now and how quickly it has come off. People are beginning to ask when am I going stop losing weight. People say I look good now and you don't want to get too skinny...
I still want to lose another 7-9kg but I haven't been "trying" to lose weight for ages now. I eat quite well and have even been having chips and choc occasionally. And I still continue to keep losing... I can't imagine eating more than I already do, so I'm also beginning to wonder how do you stop losing weight?
Any one maintaining their goal weight, I'd love to hear from you, especially.
Thank you
