Though I am a loooong way off from goal, I was wondering that too. Looking forward to seeing the responses.

Your weight loss tends to taper off so you don't really need to do anything. Some people have some fill taken out so that they can eat a little more but for lots of people that isn't necessary.

I just added one more snack per day, and that seemed to stop the loss. But add a bit more than that, and it goes back up slowly, like I am dealing with now. :thumbup:

I just gradually stopped losing and have maintained ever since. No real change in habits, maybe I do eat a few more treats these days and dont worry about stuff like having a glass of wine. But no unfill and I probably do more exercise than ever.

I got to my goal size and decided to quit losing but I was having a hard time eating enough and lost another 2 pounds so I had .2 cc removed and now I eat more. I weigh every day and I am between 132-135. If I am closer to 132, I eat more, if I am closer to 135, I eat less but I exercise the same.

Disclaimer: I have only been at goal for about a month so this is just what I think will work..:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
