I'm just starting my journey, but I once lost weight and kept it off for 5 years and on and off for another 6 by using a few tricks. 1. I kept my mouth busy with sugar free gum and exclusively drink water- no juice or soda. 2. I recited food is fuel not fun everyday 3. I didn't say goodbye to everything I liked to eat, so I knew there was nothing I couldn't have. I just had to wait until a scheduled day in the week to have a "cheat meal." A lot of weeks I didn't have the cheat meal bc I didn't want to mess up my progress. 4. I worked out regularly 3-5 days per week 5. I shopped often and stayed out of gym clothes. Stretchy clothes don't tell you when you are gaining, so only wear them to work out 6. I trained for events (100 mile bike, 5k, wedding, trip) 7. I made friends at the gym so I had people to look forward to seeing. 8. I ate on schedule so I didn't have a chance to feel hungry 9. I kept my trigger foods out of my house and resolved not to drive anywhere to get any food I was craving or send anyone out for it either. 10. I made myself a priority. I went places I enjoyed, I tanned, I wore nice clothes, i took time to feel good. Hen it was my time I enjoyed it, and I made up for it by giving my family their day for something special too. When I stopped all of thy I gained weight and lost my satisfaction with my life. That was my recipe through trial and error I discovered it. You just have to find what works for you and be ok with messing up a little as you discover what that means for you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! Congratulations to all the expectant mommies and great job on your weight loss. I am a month pre op and I'm 35 years old. I have two children ages 15 and 4, but my husband and I have been thinks about trying for a third about a year after surgery. It would be our second together. I am a lower BMI (37) with no comorbidities, and I am hoping to lose 70lbs. I hope you all have experienced that weight loss after pregnancy is not an issue. It just takes some time and strength training exercise to tone up after the pregnancy. I am more concerned with a healthy pregnancy later in life and with a restricted ability to eat. If anyone has a postpartum update please share it, because you would be giving me lots of hope. Best wishes! Xoxo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
