Congratulations on the 100 lb weight loss! I have no words of wisdom to add that hasn't already been said above. You've got this! I'm down 94 since 8-15-18 sleeve. Weight loss is really slowing down now and I really do fear the real end to this honeymoon period and how hard I will have to fight to not gain it back.

I have no advice, only empathy. I still struggle 9 months out. I just haven't been able to master this part of the journey. 94 lbs down though which I'm so grateful for. I keep logging my food, even the crap food I unfortunately take in at times which keeps me aware of the choices I'm making and how much it increases my calorie and carb intake. I just keep working on managing it the best I can. I'm not giving up. Best of luck to you.

No specific weight loss required pre surgery but instead I had to do the liver shrinking diet to make the surgery easier.

Also 9 months out. 90 lbs down but now the scale is barely moving. I must confess that I haven't been making good food choices lately. I'm trying to get my head back in the game but I'm getting nervous that I've reached the end of the so-called honeymoon period. I'm not giving up though! I'm satisfied with the weight I'm at now but to get to the normal BMI range I need to lose another 10-20 lbs so I'm still marching toward that goal.

I fear my honeymoon period is coming to an end at 9 mos post surgery. I'm still losing, slowly, but I've been slipping in my food choices. It scares me but I'm trying to use it as a wake-up call to stay focused on working the program.

Thanks for the tip - I'll look there if this one doesn't work for me! I feel like it's been so long, I don't even know where to start! Would you care to share a pic of what you got??

These are the swim shorts I got. I really like them. You can get any swim top, any style, to go with it.

I got a tankini top and swim shorts bottom to camoflauge parts of my yucky legs. Macy's has tons of swimsuits to choose from online.

Awesome! Congratulations!

I am sorry for all the challenges in your life. I really hope things get better for you. Good for you for digging in and focusing on your health. You've got this!

Ended up having a bottle of wine over the course of 3-4 hrs. Felt completely normal. I used to have a very high tolerance (I am from Ireland after all), so I don't know if that makes a difference - but I'm relieved that I can drink when I feel like it, and not get wasted very quickly. Calories will be factored into MFP, don't worry!

@boldilocks me too. I had a high tolerance before surgery and it seems that hasn't changed post surgery. What has changed is that I can't take in as many ounces of liquid though. So now I order doubles. Still, I don't often get to the point where I feel intoxicated. Very surprising because I have read that post surgery the alcohol usually affects patients faster.

Congratulations!

I had my first drink about a month after surgery. No issues.

Congratulations!

I only told my immediate family and a few close friends includinga few I work with. But I didn't tell any other co-workers. People at work starting noticing after I lost about 60. My response was that I'm logging what I eat, focusing on Protein and minimal carbs. And not eating the often 3000 calories I used to eat. Also said I was triggered by the fact that my dad died at age 58 and I was marching closer to that.

Congratulations!

I am so sorry to hear what you're going through. I hope you have some family and friends nearby to help you get through this. Sure hope you turn the corner on all this real soon. Hang in there!

I had issues too so my Dr prescribed Zofran which really helped. I also learned which foods triggered the nausea more than others and simply stayed away from them.
