Try having a little magnesium before bed (Calm works like a champ). Also you might want to give your body some protein to feast on while you sleep. Both typically put me right to sleep and I sleep through the night. Magnesium and a protein shake! Sweet dreams

Thank you so much for posting your story -- mine is similar. I took a new job in a new state a year ago and food replaced all my friends and family. I've put on almost 40 pounds and trying to get back to the basics. Stay encouraged and keep posting. Maybe we can be send good thoughts to each other. Hang in there. I know you'll get to your goal!

Yes this is totally normal. The less you have to lose the slower it goes. Pay attention to your clothes. At some point you will not lose weight on the scale but will lose inches. My starting weight was was 192 pounds. On the day of surgery I weighed in a 180. Sixteen months later I weight 145 and wear a size 6. I went down a pant size twice during a stall before the scale actually moved. Also remember you're building muscle as your body adjusts. Muscle weighs more than fat. Hope this helps!

They do shrink. Went from a 40DDD to a 34D.

Thanks for this update. I'm just about to hit my one year mark and can definitely eat more than before. I get so worried about going back to visit the "fat girl who used to live here". This made me feel much better. Thanks again and I wish you continued success!

Congratulations!

Wow. That's amazing progress. I started at 192 and I'm 5'0. I sure hope I get there when I'm at 11 months. Congratulations on your great success!

Congratulations on your great success. Keep up the great work!

I'm six months post op. Started taking GNC's Biotin at 4 months. Thinning has stopped and hair is filling back in. Hang in there and keep up with your Protein.

Sleeved on October 27th and am down 48 pounds and I feel amazing! Stay in touch. The encouragement is so needed!

I agree with the Premier. It's been a lifesaver. I also have trouble drinking and eating early in the morning so I typically don't start eating until around 11:00 a.m. It made all the difference. Lastly, try greek yogurt Has the same 30 grams of Protein in it and you can even add a little sugar free syrup to change up the taste. Good luck!

Every upbeat temp song from Beyonce, Jill Scott, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift...!!!

Nearly 4 weeks. It was awful... but this too shall pass... and it did. I'm now losing again!

Congrats. What an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Today is my 49th birthday. I bought my daughter new jeans for Christmas and one pair was too big for her. Today I was going to return them. Just before we put them in the box she said, "Mom, why don't you try them on." I took a deep breath and went for it. Guess what? They fit? A freakin size 5!!! They are the stretchy kind but they fit. I haven't fit into anything that small since high school. Happy Birthday to me!!! 49 years old and a size 5 jean. Can't think of anything better. Blessings everyone ~
