Thank you for posting, I was wondering the same thing as you. Am I done losing weight? We also share similar stats. My surgery day, I weighed 227 and at six months I had lost 65 pounds. My goal is to get to 149 so my BMI is normal.
Over the last couple of weeks, my weight has stayed so same. I am happy you were able to lose the additional weight you wanted and I hope I can lose my last 10 pounds as well!

I love Protein pudding, oatmeal, and protein hot chocolate! 12-15 grams depending on the brand. They are a little pricey but you can order them through Amazon. They do have the artificial sweet taste but you can't taste chalky protein flavor.
I also agree with the comments on Fairlife Protein Shakes pre-made. The chocolate taste like chocolate milk and the vanilla like melted ice cream.

I also have BCBS. I contacted them to make sure that the hospital and procedure were covered and they were. I went through the six month process and all the testing and I was approved by the hospital and given a surgery date.
Right before the two week pre-op diet started, I was told BCBS would not accept my claim.
It turns out the hospital was not a "Blue Distinction Center" and so they could not approve bariatric surgery there. Only Blue Distinction Centers can do bariatric surgeries. I wish they had explained it to me to begin with!
I went to a different hospital (only one of two Blue Distinction Centers in the state of NM) and I have just finished their three month program and I am waiting to see if my claim is accepted.
Wish me luck!!
