Confused
I weigh in the mornings and at the end of the day. So I can see where I start and how I end. To see if when I go over calories and it made a difference or vice a versa Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

How did you decide?
I wished I had the bypass bc sweets are my weakness and I'm back at eating them again but if your making the true lifestyle change you'll probably have more self control. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Eating/Drinking Too Much, Too Fast
You need to stick to portions sizes. I felt like I was straving, I couldn't sip I had to gulp. I couldn't nibble I had finish it. It's so hard. I know I was regretting it like crazy but think lifestyle change everything you used to do didn't work. Take your time! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Honeymoon period
That makes me sad. I thought I was doing great almost two years later and now I'm even more terrifying about gaining weight. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Constantly Cold?
I have heard that from so many ppl. I think when your heavy you carry your furnace around and losing weight kinda shut that off. I'm freezing almost 2 years later. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Hi yall! From philly
Well hello! I'm 1 year and 9 months out. Start weight 228, surgery weight 200, goal weight 135. New journey started in August of 2014. I was determined to make all requirements. I had got off sweet. No juice, no soda. Then I started walking around the block and lost weight. I had no idea how long I've been so big. Until I lost most my weight and saw the pictures, even my husband didn't realized how big I'd gotten until he saw the pics. "He said see love is blind." I have an awesome Husband and he told me how beautiful I was but in reality I wasn't happy with myself. Before surgery I quit smoking cold turkey. Do you know how hard quiting ciggs are? Thee worst addiction I ever had next to food. But like I said I was determined. So everything went as planned. Post-op was terrible the gas was painful. And I haven't heard of anyone feeling hunger pain. They say u won't have any desire to eat at first well not me. I did! But now to the point: it's 1 year 9 months out and I made it down to 131 but then I started eating sugar and that was my downfall. So I'm up and down. I'm scared to gain the weight back. And I started smoking again. I'm grateful for everything that has changed in my life. I need to take hold of that fire and desire to change my life. I have energy. I'm more personable. I just want to have fun. I laugh more but still struggle with my mental state. I love life and I love myself.
