I have reached my goal, Oh Happy Day! OK, play along, will ya?! (Well, not quite. See the next chapter for continuing adventures in my weight loss saga. So now, what do you think you could do? By this time, your surgery center should have been in touch with you, doing their job, and informed you of the caloric count needed to maintain your new weight. If they don’t offer this follow-up, you can contact a nutritionist or your primary doctor. Or you can even use the internet and do some research on the subject. The amount of calories you can safely consume will, of course, depend on your age, sex, and your final weight. It will also be based on how active you are. If you had to resort to bariatric surgery to lose weight, I assume that while you may have been active, you are no longer as active. I have included a generic table below that will be a starting point for you. To be safe, you should cut back on these figures until you know how much you can truly tolerate. Better to be safe than sorry. It is always easier to put back on a few pounds if you lose too much than to lose more weight.

You will also need to be a little more active than you were previously. This will be easier, since you will be at a healthier weight and you should have more energy as well. Your self-image will also be improved. You now have a fantastic new body to be proud of. You did a lot of work to get there, so flaunt it a little. Make your friends jealous of your newfound youth. Life will now take on a whole new meaning. If your goal was to lose weight so you could play with your grandchildren, do so. If you want to reach a physical milestone, such as a 5k race, do it safely and under professional guidance. Remember the word of the day is “Moderation“. Your new stomach is smaller, so be careful not to overstretch it. What a waste that would be. Some people gain the weight back, don’t be one of them. I know I am sure as hell not going to be one of them. Hopefully, now that you have reached your goal weight, your health has also improved, and you can cut back on some of your medications.

If you need plastic surgery contouring, consider getting it to complete your project. This way, you can start your new life. Remember, you are no longer a procrastinator; you are a doer. Good luck and have a great life.
