Head hunger and eating just because it is there I believe are the 2 biggest hurdles. I have had to rid my house of all unhealthy Snacks. Then there are times that I will realize I am eating a snack and I am not even hungry. We fall into well this is time I am suppose to eat mode. Like it was when I was kid, you ate a snack when you get home from school. When I get off work (I work at a school), I feel like I need a snack and many times I not really hunry.

I have got to get back to asking myself- okay am I really hungry or can I wait? If I want a small something I grab a handful of grapes or blueberries.

You can have a snack...especially if its a healthy choice.if your tracking your calories you should be fine...no worries. I keep telling myself that a couple of hunger cramps aren't going to hurt me. Know your doing great!!

Band hell sucked so badly. I hatred every second of that. But know that it won't last long. Keep the FOCUS during this time. All good things come to those who wait. ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
