Hi all! I am about 4 months away from my 2 year anniversary of my surgery. I have lost over 90 lbs which is great. The problem I am having is that I have stayed at the same weight for easily 6 months, although there has been some difference in how clothing fits, showing that I have still lost a bit but not much. I have gotten back into a very bad sugar/carb habit and am able to eat more food more easily. I have some health conditions that makes it hard for me to do much exercise and causes a lot of fatigue. I need a re-set button or something. I have come too far. I don't really know what I need, except maybe an overhaul of my diet again. Having said that, I KNOW what I need to do, but seem to lack motivation to take charge of it and starting to get that helpless feeling over my sugar urges that I had pre-surgery and was so proud that I had overcome it. Anyone else going or have gone through this and have some advice? I would really like to lose another 15 lbs as my dr. says we will often gain about 10% of our loss back in year 3 and want to be in a better position to make sure I don't gain back. Any advice appreciated!

This topic is not new here. I'm not going to rehash that situation.
No reason to take this as an insult to your site. I think it has a lot of positives. I'm only suggesting basic 101 on how members can take what is useful and learn not to respond to drama and trolls.
There is no way any site can monitor the amount of traffic and control people's behavior.
You and your staff do not have the kind of time and resources to monitor 100% of the time. You do your best.

Still on them........trying to wean, but still taking them....at 42.5 mg now.......it is not fun but thanking God for life.

I just got re-sleeved February 27, six days postop I have pictures that my doctor took. He stated I was almost the size of a regular stomach. It can be done. I’m not proud about it but the truth is I am a perfect example of what can happen. For some reason everyone thinks that it’s not possible

317.6 this week. I expected a gain since I was traveling so much and not eating the best and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be but it's still not good!

So I started my journey on October 30th 2015 at 540 pounds. This is the highest I've ever been. I had to be on oxygen because I was so overweight it was pressing against my lungs.
I had to do 6 months of a supervised diet and lost 60 pounds before my surgery and had my surgery weighing 480 pounds.
I had a horrible time after surgery as some on here may remember. I was in extreme pain for 3 weeks then extreme nausea for 5 months. The nausea was so bad I didn't eat or drink for over a month and had to get a picc line and give myself infusions overnight to get my fluids and nutrients.
They removed my gallbladder in October of this year and I started to feel much better.
I now feel great and am finally starting to be able to enjoy my smaller size! I'm having fun working out at the gym and I'm starting to feel pretty and trying to date.
I now weigh 336 pounds! That's 204 pounds down from my first weigh in and 144 pounds down since my surgery May 29th 2015!
I'm so excited to be going in the right direction! I just turned 30 in November and I can't wait to finally start living my life!
Here are some before and after pictures!
