Wow, I saw your topic and felt a flood of ironic feeling, I just reached 3 pounds away from goal this morning!

For maintenance I would say just keep doing what you are doing. If you continue to lose and don't want to, just eat more meals, not bigger ones. Keep up the good nutrition, exercise and Water, though.

By the way, you look fabulous!

I am 2 pounds from goal! I had my VSG on Jan 17, 2012. I have lost 98 pounds and am a size 8. Im curious how to stop losing also. My weight keeps going down and people are starting to tell me I look too thin. I am 5'7". When i increase my meals and or calories, I lose more. Very strange.

      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.
