I never thought I'd ask this question and please don't fuss at me... How do I stop losing weight. I'm 100 pounds down, from an 18 to a 4, 5'3" tall, 130 pounds, 6 1/2 months from sleeve surgery. I really feel like I've lost enough so how do I stop losing?

Will you have an annual follow up on check up with your program? You need to speak with the nutritionist so she can help you plan how to eat on maintenance.

How many calories are you eating? Try to get at least 1200. So add in another healthy snack. If you work out, try to dial it back say from an hour to 30 minutes cardio.

I don't think anyone would fuss at you at all. It's a legitimate question once you hit your goal. Sometimes it's hard to dial it back. There is a post on here from someone who went too far and put himself in treatment for an eating disorder. So no, no one is going to be a jerk to you about a legit concern.

I added more fat and carbs when I got close to goal....full fat dairy, fattier cuts of meat, fruits, starchy veggies, and whole grains. I still ended up dropping another 12 pounds, and I kind of think I'm too thin, but am finally where my body seems to wants to be. I don't track my food but a couple spot calorie checks showed I'm getting 1400-1600 calories/day. I still shoot for Protein first and meet or exceed both protein and Fluid requirements. Just keep adding a little extra each week until you find your balance.

      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.
