I have been using the MyFitnessPal app and that does help. I just hate giving in to my cravings and eating junk that I know I shouldn't be.

At my 6 month check up my doctor told me I was losing too slow and I felt like a complete failure. He suggest I talk to a therapist. I left the office in tears. I am at 9 months out now and I have lost a total of 81 pounds and 53 pounds since surgery. I did have a couple weeks were I gained a pound or 2 and it felt like it took me forever to lose it again. I am beyond frustrated.

I went 3 weeks no coffee after surgery. Now I have one small cup a day. I have no problems.

I'm 5 months post op and I've lost 44 pounds since surgery.

I also had a hernia and I'm 4 months post op. I take Prilosec every day.

I was super stoked when I flew a couple weeks ago and didn't need a seat belt extender! Best feeling ever!!!

SO glad I am not alone! lol

I just cut over 22 inches of my hair off!! I'm loving it.

I went to lunch with my mom and 2 brothers and I just asked for a plate and said we'd share. It was great because I got a bite of each of their meals! lol

Picked one up! Hope it's good at $6.19. lol

You are not alone! Sleeved 4/10 and lost 20 pounds so far. Just keep your head up, it'll get better!

I actually originally wanted RNY but changed my mind to have VSG. There are benefits and downsides to each procedure. So I'd say do what you think is best for you. You typically lose more and quicker with RNY. With VSG it is less invasive and you don't have the vitamin absorption problems. But with VSG you lose slower but don't have problems with the dumping syndrome.

My doctor said not to expose incision sites for 1 year after surgery. I haven't tried it but heard that lavender oil helps heal and fade the scars.
