My non food reward was to buy a motorcycle! I did not want to be heavy on one so I always told myself if I lost enough weight I would finally get one!

I'm a year and a half out from surgery. I have noticed if we're rushing, I can grab a burger and eat almost half of it. It started scaring me and I was worried I'd slip back into bad habits. We did a 26 day detox, just eating whole foods, all organic, I did lose 13 pounds but best of all I can tell it reset my pouch. Now I can eat like a few bites of my salmon and a few asparagus and I'm full. The thought of grabbing a quick burger makes me gag. On Sundays I started meal prepping again for the week.
If I were you I'd try a pouch reset, it definately won't hurt! Good luck to you and congrats on your baby.

I used to feel the same way as you! I think it was my excitement for the weight to be gone after going through something like surgery. I watched people that started around the same weight as me post about their success and their weight wad dropping so fast while I had stall after stall after STALL. Once I healed more and was able to eat more food aka Protein, that's when my faster weight loss started. I just had to be patient, trust me I know it's hard. I had my surgery July of 16 and now I'm going between 188 -184. I notice though my weight slowly goes down. For a month or so I'm 197-194... then 195-189... so it's very slowly going down. I know I should weigh around 145, but honestly I'm so happy with my current weight if I don't lose more I'll still be thankful for what I have lost! Keep going and keep positive!

I went back and forth between the two surgeries also. I had no health issues at all besides being overweight. In the end I decided on the RNY because it has been around longer and I felt the statistics of losing more weight and keeping it off was more of a positive than having to take Vitamins. I don't mind the vitamins and got the good flavored chews that were recommended to me vs swallowing a pill. Other than that, the more foods I'm able to eat now I am getting the nutrients I need.

I'm very happy with my decision!!

I like to make zoodles if I'm having pasta! They are very good!

You look great!!

I think also it will be up to your body. I eat a lot of salads, mostly cesar salads with chicken or salmon cut up on it. I have a friend that had the same surgery, and she can't even eat one piece of lettuce without getting sick. You will find out what works for you and what doesn't. I try to stick to clean eating.

Congrats!!!
