Hi Shontel!! Congrats on reaching goal. Meeee too!!! Isn't it a wonderful feeling??!! I am almost fifteen lbs below goal and working at maintaining. It's a slippery slope. I could continue to lose if I wanted to. I NEED 1200 calories per day to maintain. To accomplish this, I need several Snacks per day. My snack of choice is normally a graham cracker with Natural Peanut Butter on it. I can only eat about a half cup of food at each meal, maybe slightly more, depending on what we're eating. How about you? How much can you eat? How are you maintaining? Are you finding it easy? Could you still lose if you wanted to? I was really worried about gaining but I'm finally relaxing a little and not being as obsessive! I still measure and/or weigh everything when I'm home, of course I just "eyeball" it when I'm out. I am still not really ever hungry, so it works best for me. If we eat out a lot over the weekend, I can gain 3 lbs, but everything goes back to normal on Monday and by Wed or Thursday it's gone, without any effort. I'd love to hear how you are doing.

      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.
