What I did was add a morning snack and a afternoon snack and my weight loss stoppede and I have stayed the same for the last year and a half. Hope this helps.

Its still a calories game and you are not taking enough daily calories to stop the weight loss. In order to do so, you have to eat more. Period. But what you choose to eat can still work well with the good habits that you've established. Add protein snacks, like a shake or a protein bar, or chese and crackers, or nuts. Add a few hundred calories a day and see where you are in a month, if still losing, add more. You've done well and at this early stage, if you don't make adjustments, you will continue to lose. Keep in mind that while the surgery is doing most of the work still, eventually a year from now, the lower the weight you are, the less calories you get to eat to maintain. Not a problem for some, big problem for those of us that like to eat!
