This is spectacular news. I feel guilty I am still 12 stone 6 and have been for months! You've made me realise I should be doing a little better and perhaps need to refocus again
I am hoping when you reach your goal your body will ease into where you want to be. You are only 17 weeks post op and the sleeve is still new and should settle a little more and eating should be a little easier. Mine certainly is very different now to what it was last October. We had our sleeves about a year apart so I feel you will find it a little easier in time to eat more.
I am so impressed with how well you've done. You've smashed it out of the park and in just 4 months. I was a million miles from goal at 4 months and indeed I am still 15 lbs from goal now. Lol.
Well done honey xx

Well done on your loss, and also well done on realising that it could get out of hand. As you are NHS am I right in assuming you still have contact with the dietitian on your team as mine is for 2 years? Have you spoken to them about it recently so you can devise a maintenance plan? Have your vitamin, iron and mineral levels been checked recently? I can't give you any advice though about the shakes I'm afraid as only 10 weeks on the losers bench.

I was going to say well done on your loss but if you don't want to lose anymore I won't congratulate you.
I think your answer to not losing anymore weight is in your post "I can go all day without eating and never have 3 meals a day".....
Are you monitoring your calories and protein levels? What were your teams recommendations per day? It is so important for us to eat and drink regularly in order to get our nutrients and protein. Can you try and focus on 3 achievable meals/snacks a day? Even if you have to pre-prepare some in boxes ready for you to grab from the fridge?
If you are already doing this or you are already meeting your teams target for calories/protein please ignore my post! In that case I would suggest contacting your dietician and explain that your weight loss is not stopping - they should be able to help you adjust your diet to suit.
