I am not just losing without effort. I work very hard for my two pounds a week. I watch what I eat and how much. I could easily eat a lot more than I do. Plus, I work out 5 days a week, either walking for about 1 hour 45 minutes or an hour on the elliptical. I wish that I was like you.
As has been often said here, YMMV.
Jesus, Mary & Joseph. Whenever someone told me to "stop losing" or "gain some weight back", I'd look at them and give them the silent stare. Like, how in the hell am I supposed to do that? I eat non stop as it is. You lose what you're going to lose, then you bounce back. I don't think there's much I could have done to stop my weight loss. I did eat Reese's Peanut Butter cups when I dipped down to my all time low. I can't stand the smell of them now.
My surgeon never gave me a goal weight. In fact, I've never seen him again since pre-op. He doesn't see his patients post-op, instead the PA's follow them. Funny thing, Dr. Foote complained to me at one of my first appts with him that he never saw his DS patients. He said it like it was THEIR failing, when it actually is his failing. One of the reasons I do not refer anyone to him. I refer to Dr. Kemmeter instead, who I wish had done my surgery.
