Only piece I can offer is go back to the basics. Don't let yourself get lax with your diet.

In retreading, I'll have to correct my first sentence and say I stuck to the plan 99%

I stuck to the plan 100%. I kept carbs under 50g and ate mainly protein and veggies. Stayed away from drinks with any calories and sugar is and was a big no no. On holidays, I allowed myself to eat and enjoy the day. I didn't however allow myself sugar bc I didnt want to crave sugar and that is the hardest thing to kick when reintroduced from what I hear. I am ashamed to say that I have not exercised. I have a very hectic schedule. I have a desk job so I rarely get any exercise. Perhaps if I introduced exercise I could have lost a bit more. Thanks for all the compliments! They help with the confidence level.

I hit my goal last month and I decided I still wanna lose 10-20 more lbs. I started at 250. I am now 140. Everyone says I'll look bad if I lose any more weight. I still see a fat girl in the mirror. Is this just my past insecurities? Idk. Luckily my skin has bounced into place without skin surgery. At 38 years old, I consider myself a lucky duck. My doctor also says I shouldn't lose anymore because I may not be happy with the result and response from my skin. Advice anyone? Anyway, here are some before and after.

Also, sweet toothers. I buy the Russell stover sugar free pecan delights. They are chocolatey, caramely goodness with just a little crisp. (Like turtles). I limit myself to 2 of them but let me tell you, they are so good and you would never know they are sugar free. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

We are almost surgery date twinsies. I havnt tried a burger but I bet I could eat that much if I did. I am 6 months out and it seems I can eat quite a bit more the past month or so. Key is, stop when you feel the slightest resistance. I usually portion and measure but you can't really do that on the road. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Once in a great while when I have an uncontrollable sweet tooth I eat sugar free russel stouffers turtles. They are delicious. You cannot tell the are sugar free at all. Again, it's only every once in a while because they have a few carbs. But they take away the sweet tooth! Also, HALO protein icecream is a life saver! They have like 17 flavors. I suggest everyone try the birthday cake one and the s'mores one. Oh and mint chocolate chip is to die for also! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
