If you're concerned about continuiung to lose, I'd meet with a nutritionist. (my program had one available) There's probably a certain number of calories you'll need to maintain to maintain your weight!

Great job!

Thanks everyone... I didnt do anything different than what we All have to do.. However I can say I didn't stop watching the scale until I hit goal... Now that I can eat anything.. I find that I'm not too fond of chicken I usually give up on it after a bite or 2... I love all green veggies especially asparagus and spinach.... And my stomach looooves seafood, not much a surprise since I was a seafood lover before surgery but I can actually eat a good portion of it before full.. I usually get a seafood sampler,, yummy

      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.
