Congrats Don!!!! I'd start adding in some healthy fats like avocado and such on a slow basis to help maintain your weight!

Don, That is sooo wonderful! I am very happy for you. Can you reach out to your nutritionist or a another one? I know the maintenance stage is a lot of trial and error but good luck to you!

I can't imagine what it is like to reach your goal. I was told by a very smart person not to worry about things that have not happen and may never happen.

Little update I kept losing got down to 148 lbs and now at almost a year out I range from 150-155 I am comfortable in that range but am addicted to the scale always worrying if I'm eating to much and will regain some of my weight. I have been to the nut and attend support groups regularly to stay on track have also started walking a lot more the other day I did 6.6 miles with a friend and yesterday I did 4.05 miles by myself at a fast pace took me 1 hr to complete 4 miles my goal is at least 3 miles a day . I still feel great

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
