It is smart to be 10, 20 or 30 pounds under your goal. At the end of the honeymoon period there is a bounceback period. That usually happens during the third year. Then it is normal to gain back 20 or more pounds. Many people look too skinny during year 2 after surgery. It is extremely rare for them to look two skinny at the end of the third year.
This skinny period is part of how the surgery works. You are not absorbing everything that you eat. The best way to deal with it is to do nothing. Keep up with your food, water and vitamins. As long as you feel good, let the surgery do its thing. You will stop losing naturally.
True maintenance starts at around month 30. Right now you will lose no matter what you do. One day that will stop and you will not gain but you will stop losing. You will be able to eat more every week. A good rule for long term maintenance is to multiply your goal weight by 10 and eat that amount of calories every day. Your goal of 225 means about 2550 calories would be your long term maintenance goal.
