Hope you have been well! I just downloaded the app again. I started going to school and working as a way to improve myself not only physically but mentally and emotionally. I gained 4lbs this month and I lost 2 lbs but I wanted to connect with the community here so I wouldn't have to struggle solo!

I'm a little past a year since my surgery, I got my surgery done May 19th 2021. My starting weight was 272lb and my current weight is 189lb I'm 5'9 and my goal is 172. I've had bad days to where I've eaten carbs and sugar but I do my best when I have cooked my meals ahead of time and have protein early in my day! Thanks for everyone sharing their journey, it helps keep me going, knowing I'm not alone!

I hope you are doing okay! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Hey! It's been really interesting finding out what my stomach can or can't tolerate.But I've lost 42lbs since May!

I think as long as we recognize where mistakes are made we can improve! Good luck [emoji846]

I'm so sorry to hear that, I hope everything works out!

I haven't gotten as far with my weight loss, I'm on week 3. However I was thinking something similar about what my life will be like without food for entertainment and bonding with others... Like what is enjoyable in my world outside of food and how to keep my activities fun and consistent.(outside of fast food)[emoji30] thanks for sharing your thoughts, I definitely feel less alone!

I just needed a place to complain, I've been noticing how almost all shows are set in a bar, a restaurant or kitchen!!! I can't even watch one of my favorite shows Bob's burgers without thinking "man a burger would be great right now!" I'm ready too change my life and I love the results I'm getting but almost all the time when I'm watching a show I want to eat something salty, crunchy, or cheesy! I've got a problem [emoji30]

I had my surgery done 5/19 and as I side sleeper I am seriously tired on sleeping upright![emoji30]
