You have a valid point. I've to thought about this. Though I still have at least 25lbs to go before I hit goal. But It has crossed my mine that I didn't want get Below a certain amount like near 140 lbs?

Congrats on taking care of business !

I dont know how tall you are so I cant say whether theres any wiggle room in your goal weight. I agree the body is going to settle where it wants, so just make sure you are eating heathfully, and exercising, and getting your Vitamins, and you should end up at a weight that is right and does NOT make you look sickly.

I also want to say that I am 92 lbs down and 7 months out (as of today!), and sure as s**t , like clockwork the weightloss is slowing down. So dont expect to keep losing rapidly forever. Try to concentrate on living healthy and the number on the scale will end up exactly where it is supposed to be :)

      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.
