I keep the peace and smile and say similar things. I know I do feel better than I've felt in a long time. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering how other people deal with the comments.

I am at my goal. I am having the problem of people close to me telling me to eat more . You are too thin. My doctor tells me I'm healthy. I can maintain by eating nutritious foods and by making smart food choices. As I am able to eat more varieties of food it's becoming more challenging to do that. He said the main thing is to monitor your weight gain within 3-5 pounds. If you start to gain change your food choices. I also have a protein shake in the morning and a protein bar in the afternoon or evening. I'm less likely to over eat when I'm taking my protein . Each person will decide what healthy food choices they want to make . This is not a diet anymore . It's a life style change. I'm trying to erase the dieting from my memory. Diet foods can make you fat. I look for high nutrition value in foods now because I only eat small portions and I feel full fast. I hope to hear from other people maintaining weight loss and anyone who wants to share on this topic. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

I recently accidentally swallowed a seed. I was so afraid it might get stuck but I swallow pills bigger than the seed. How would I know if something were stuck in the stoma or pouch? Does anyone know? Will it be digested or pass through? I called my doctor's nurse but no response yet .

I am finally admitting to myself those cravings are back. I appreciate all the suggestions. I will keep a journal again. I do eat sugar free treats but I feel guilty. Don't know why? I feel like I'm indulging myself too much. I have tried eating small amounts of fruit and nuts throughout the day and that really does help.
