Sandy's got nothin' on you, THIS is the Perfect Frankenstorm!!
Be strong! Resist! Batten down the hatches!!

OMG! I have been struggling so much since last week. I'm 2 months out tomorrow, I've stalled again, and all the bad thoughts have invaded. They're saying, "You're not losing weight anyway, go have a few Reece's Peanut Butter cups, Kit Kats, and Hershey's bars. You have PMS, and it'll make you feel better." I feel sick to my stomach in thinking that I am messing up this opportunity. It's unbelievable how you can fall completely off of the program in such a short amount of time. I'm going to do Little Miss Diva's bootcamp for the next 5 days, and I hope I get out of this funk.

I lost 2 pounds on my 3 month medically supervised diet, and I didn't really try to lose those 2. I've lost over 100 pounds twice in my lifetime, so the ability to diet and exercise has never been the problem. The problem is maintaining after I hit goal. I could never do it without the sleeve, so I didn't worry about any pre-op weight loss. Now, I can diet and exercise without starving, and once I hit goal, I don't have to worry about gaining the same 100+ pounds back. You'll be fine. If you've never lost weight on your own before, I would recommend at least tracking your food in MFP and starting some form of a fitness routine, so you won't be so overwhelmed all at once with all of the changes. Good Luck!

Wow!!! That's amazing. I know it must feel so good to have that 60 pounds gone forever. Congrats on the loss!

Why do you think you're off track? 55 pounds in 10 weeks is alot of weight. If you're hungry all the time, why don't you add a little chicken to each meal? I buy a rotisserie, and I pull a few slices off with Breakfast and lunch. I noticed I have more of a problem with head hunger around dinner. I'm not really hungry, so I started drinking a shake for
dinner, and I go to bed an hour later, so I don't think about food.

I got cleared to work out any way I wanted to at my 6 week post-op check, and now it seems to be melting off. Of course, you have to keep track of what's going in, as well as exercise to really see results.

Way to go! After today, you'll always be in onederland.

That is a great b-day gift. You'll be rocking a super hot outfit for the big 3-0 next year! How exciting!

Gaye,
I've seen your pics in other posts but they still amaze me. There are a lot of wonderful and awesome before & after pics on here but yours stands out. You don't even look like the same person! The before person looks like a very nice woman, the after one looks like she's going to go out and conquer the world, kick ass and be nice about all at the same time. It's hard to explain, but your presence just shines in that second photo. It's like you've been given a second chance to take the world by storm and you are enjoying every minute!!
You GO girl!!!
