How do you stop losing weight when you hit your goal weight?
I am always trying new healthy food items, & or new healthy recipes. Sometimes I like the new food or recipe, and sometimes I don't like it, and won't eat it again

I food journal daily. I get 80-90g protein, some days 900-1100 calories, I currently get my carbs through natural fruits. I love my fruits.
My goal weight has always been 115 lbs, as of this morning I weigh 113.6 lbs.
I am 5'0 feet tall, or short lol. My clothes size went from 20 to 3/4's, and 1x shirts to small.
My bmi is 22.1, body fat % is 21%. I feel healthy, happy, and fit now. I do Curves strength training only 3 days a week, and do cardio only 2, sometimes 3 days (if I feel like getting some cardio in). I am 11 1/2 mths post op. My next Dr's appt., and 1 year class is 5/27/09.
I like how I look and feel now. I don't want too look too thin, or skeleton like.
I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANYMORE WEIGHT!
What do I need to do now to maintenance, and NOT TO GAIN BACK, AND NOT TO LOSE ANYMORE WEIGHT?
I was hoping to maybe find out from other banders, that may have hit their goal weight, maintained it and of what their experiences have been, even though I know everybody is different. Thanks again
Any advice is welcomed, Thank you in advance for your responses, and advices.

I'm not a bander but the same goes for all wls. You need to add just a few more calories. Try another healthy snack and good carbs and protein. Try to get this from food and not a shake. If you can't stop losing trade with this try to replace one of your water for another shake.
This is what my WLS doc said when I got to low for my hight and frame and age. When I did this I did get back to where my WLS doc and PCP wanted. It's really hard to find that right amount of calories you need to stop losing and mantain and not gain to much back.
Good Luck,
Robin

Of course my family is very concerned. At 48 yrs old and 5ft tall, 103lbs does not look like it might have at 18. I eat pretty much anything I want, but so far, I'm just trying to keep from going any lower. I feel like I am eating ALL day long, which goes against a lifetime of trying NOT to eat all the time.
Trying to look decent in clothes has become a problem as well. I would much rather be seen in a bathing suit with a little extra weight than with the bony, sagging skin I now have.
I'm really hoping that the bounce back starts soon. I guess I should feel blessed that I have that 20 or 30lbs to work with, but it is a little concerning at this point.
