So I haven't really gotten off track.. I've been following my food guidelines pretty close. I did try a Christmas cookie.. bite only here and there but nothing crazy.. I did find that sweet food doesn't have the same effect on me that it did before but I have to get back on track with my exercise.. right before the holidays I stopped because I was working 12 hr days have 2 kids and I work second shift.. my weight loss has slowed considerably. I'm down 1 lb since Xmas.. I'm 3 months out with a total of 64 lbs down.. I started my work outs again today.. its a new year!! And went back to tracking.. has this happened to anyone else?

I'm only 4 days post op from my revision, but I remember this happening with my band. I don't know if this is an option for you, but I saw some posts recently here from people who got a FitBit, and I ordered one. It seems like it would be motivating to have something that tracks all your movement and then encourages you to do just a little more. I also checked out a couple similar ones on Amazon...whatever you like, but it seems like something that would help motivate me, maybe it would help you too? Just a thought! You are working hard...it sounds like you did pretty darn well through the holidays with all that you have going on, Celebrate that!

confused :wacko:

not sure what problem you are referring to??

sounds like you handled the holidays quite well :)

You ate a cookie?you ate everything else well ?

your exercising, recording your food

"only" (not supposed to use that word :angry: ) down 1 lb since christmas?

this is a time period that people unfortunately gain a lb or two, or stay the same. you managed to lose 1 lb!!!

OMG girlfriend - down 64 lbs in 3 months???

your doing great - would i lie to you ;)

only "problem" i see is that your worrying too much ;)

can i nicely say GET OFF YOUR BACK" :o;)

congrats on your success - i know you'll continue to flourish

happy new year

You made me laugh!! Thank you!! I guess I felt like I shouldn't have had any sweets but I didn't do what I've fine in the past like take a plate and watch tv.. lol I tasted one of my kids Cookies that we made and felt guilty but you are right. I didn't even think if it that way. I am worrying too much. You're awesome!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
