  1. At 1.5 years post-op I'm currently going back and forth between 194 and 199. I would still like to lose 25 more pounds.

    In hindsight, I should have gotten the bypass. I fight with the fat person in my brain Every. Damn. Day! I am strongly considering a revision for reflux and to make eating sweets a punishment.

    I still feel fat, I still hate myself. People are nicer, men touch me 😳 platonically of course, but it still weirds me out. I don't do chips, bread or fries. I do eat ww toast and a taco shell on occasion.

    I still have restriction. The bad foods are the slippery ones... but, when you put your mind to it you can eat very little and feel satisfied. 

    I would do it again in a heartbeat. 💖

      Thank you for the update. I'm still on the medication at 9 months out but I find I can go a day in between without it now. My dr thinks I may be able to come off it totally after 2 years post op. It doesn't bother me much being on the meds and he says there is no long term issues with it.

      I should have reached out to you sooner. You seemed unhappy last time I messaged you. I wish you felt more positive about where you are. Are you talking to a professional? You've come so far and have done so well that I wonder if you got to your goal weight you would still have concerns.

      I would also like to lose 20 or so more pounds and I plan to push to get there but if it crawls back up after I won't let it get to me. I'm 2 weeks away from a breast reduction so I'm going to step up the meal replacement protein shakes and really watch my carbs. Dieting is such a mind game though, every time I try to make a push for weight loss it seems to backfire and I have cravings and eat worse.

      Would you consider doing more protein shakes for meals? At least for a bit to jump start weightloss again?

      That's a good idea, I should switch back to my morning coffee shake for a month and see what happens... I think my down moods might be cycle related, I am going to see if maybe my estrogen is low.

      Good luck on the breast reduction recovery.
