She was released from the hospital last Thursday evening. She's got a long road ahead of her but hopefully she'll make a full recovery.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
You had the DS, which makes your post-op life different from most of the rest of us because you will always have malabsorption. 400g of carbs is a ridiculous amount. The SAD diet would generally include 200-250 carbs per day. I'm in maintenance and I eat 60-90g/day, most of those coming from dairy and nuts honestly. I don't eat grains or potatoes.
Some of us maintain on a tiny little amount of food. I am lucky, that I can maintain around 2,000 calories/day with moderate exercise. Others can maintain on 1,000 calories per day, it just depends on their metabolisms.

Your story mirrors what I've been going through. Surgeons goal was 160 (25 BMI). I blew by that and hit my goal (145) without issue. I increased calories and dropped now to 130. I'm a 20 BMI now and my husband has finally said "Ok, enough. Stop losing". So I'm working on staying here for now.

I lost every month until I decided to start maintaining and drastically increased my calories. You can see the breakdown in my signature. I started increasing calories for maintenance (slowly) at the end of month 6.
Edited to add: I was at my goal when I started doing that and I lost another 12-15lbs beyond that (depending on the day now!).

Thank you All for your responses! It's so hard not to worry my honeymoon will end and goal will be no where in sight. I could have predicted I would be a slow loser and slow is fine....as long as it doesn't end far too soon ?. I just finished month 6 and lost 6.6 pounds, so I am thrilled with that. 1 pound in month 5 scared the crap out of me! I am 2/3 to goal now so as long as I can lose the last 33 pounds in the next 6 months I will be thrilled! I will be focused on tha****er and protein!
Thanks everyone!
