Wow you look great.

I'm sorry your experiencing these difficulties. I suggest maybe getting another activity you can focus on such as running, dancing, boxing class, ect. I can personally understand how easy it is to fall back into those bad habits. I also can easily snack my day away. When I focus on getting my fluids in, It is so consuming that food is pretty much an after thought. Good luck to you. Start counting calories again, get Bach to basics keep up with your protein.

I started to notice the same thing. So what I've been doing is focusing on drinking water/fluids. I notice if I'm focusing on my fluids it takes my mind off of food.

That's a great question. Hope we get some responses.

If ur having such a hard time finding a healthy protein drink, I would suggest you try to reach your protein goals without the drinks. I'm 6 months post op and while I will have an occasional 1-2 shakes a week. I do get all of my protein from food. It is challenging, but it can be done I was at 800 calories for 60g but per my doctors request I am now at 75g and about 950 calories.

Or you could just go and eat what you can, and let your girl friends have your wine.

I am 6 months post op. I started out in a tight 20 plus size of corse tips XL or 2xl plus size. Now I am a size 16 not plus size and a size large shirts.

Hey Chicago here. I'm in the south loop/Pilsen.

Wow that's great!!! It's funny how we convince ourselves that its the clothes and not us.

I have big thighs if that's what you mean. My lower half is getting small. I have come to terms that I will prob never be a size 2-4. I have always carried my weight in my hips, legs, thighs, and @ss. It does go down, thank god, but I still have the same shape.

It looks great at ur weight now !!!!

That does make a ton of sense, I'm going to try and focus on getting in my water. I'm going to focus on that for the next week and I'm going to see how that goes...

Yeah I just hit 6 months and all of a sudden my appetite is back. I guess that's what they mean by saying the honeymoon phase is over. I feel like I just really need to focus on picking healthy choices, lean protein. I do also notice that veggies fill me up pretty easily.

I would go get a second opinion. Also are you Able to drink water??? Don't worry about offending ur surgeon, you have to do what's best for you. Best of luck to you.

Way to go!!! Keep up the good work.

You look great!!! Keep up the good work.

Yes...it does go away. I actually just noticed that I haven't had that problem in the last few months. It's funny all the changes that my body is going thru, it takes a while before I can actually process them.

You look great!!!

I have pcos and was always worried about thinning hair, so I've used nioxin for the last 2 years. I'm 6 months post op and still use it. I swear by it. I also use Xfusion, which doesn't help with growth, but does help camouflage thinning hair.

Enjoy your weight loss!!!

You guys are looking great!!!

You look great!!!! Congrats.

Congrats!!! Good luck on trying for a baby.

Awesome!!!

Way to go!!! Keep up the good work.
