Glad you posted the pics. You look fantastic! And a special congratulation on maintaining your weight since August!!! You're an inspiration and if I start to hit any traps, I'm coming to you for advice! Once you got to goal, what did you add back to your diet to stop losing but not gain any back?

Hey Rogofulm!! Actually it was a little tricky, but I slowly found a happy medium...along with my workouts which of course I plan to keep up with as a lifestyle change, I added about 150 - 200 Protein calories a day to my diet, and checked my weight on a weekly basis. Be sure to give yourself a 5lb cushion around your goal weight, because it may fluctuate based on Water intake and muscle development. Within a few weeks, I pushed my personal target calorie rate to about 1850 a day, but I almost never come within 100 calories of it...at this rate, I'm staying pretty even, and feeling pretty good, even though I'm pushing myself at the gym. Also as I was told by my nutritionist, try to even out the cardio with the weights...too much cardio will burn off any fuel you want to use for muscle gain...if you're going that route.

Hope I helped!!! And congrats to you as well, my man!!!

      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.
