I had my hunger return to but I try to keep myself in check. I am 4 months out and I will go down a few lbs and then back up a few lbs. I have been sick the last 2 weeks so no exercise for me. You now have the best tool for the weight loss. Just stick with the plan and the weight will eventually come off. You will ce accross times with stalls and gained lbs that's when you kick up the Protein and try to add a little walking or buy weights to wear around while your busy during the day. Remember we are herw for support too! Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear u are struggling so much, I am 4 months out and do not feel like I have a pouch either. I have never dumped and feel completely normal. I have to continue to remind myself why I have had this done. I have been very successful and I will share what I am doing. I have my fitness pal on my phone and I count every single calorie that goes in my mouth. I make sure to get between 60-80 grams of Protein a day. I have found that if I do 1000 calories for a couple days, then go down to 600 for a couple days, it seems to keep my metabolism going. I am down 87 pounds.... Keep your head up and your eye on the prize :-)

Don't give up!!! If you can't leave the house have a time morning or while your baby naps to have a DVD work out for 15/30 mins & you should be good. I'm almost 12 months out. Haven't gain but if I let my self go as far as I can eat. I know I will gain (I think) I keep my self like break lunch dinner exercise 3 snacks finish. Even if I'm hungry I don't over eat.

I know it's hard to get exercise in but try to do a DVD when the baby naps. I haven't had my surgery yet but with my schedule I can't get to the gym period! So I turned my home into one. I have DVDs and weights. that's all you need and they to get in 30-40 minutes a day or start slow at three times a day.

I'm so sorry you are having a difficult time. Support and prayers for you. Just take it day by day and you really need to consider putting the scale away. But, been there done that I think I put mine away at 6 months. I was obsessed and would kill mojo if my# didn't drop. It's a roller coaster for sure.

I can relate, I don't dump I can eat. I feel hungry all of the time and have zero time for the gym. But keep in mind we have a tool not an easy way out. DVD workout work great. But cleaning and keeping a child busy is a WORKOUT! you are always burning calories just maximize it!

Sounds dumb but I do this:

Park far

Take the stairs

Hold my daughter whenever possible (she's 3.. 30 lbs!) she loves the extra attention

When shopping go around a many times I walk target and the mall I look lost but whatever LOL

I walk on my lunch breaks

At home I have the big ball in my living room so I don't sit on the couch

I do squats in the shower

Find what works for you! Sending you hugs!!

Surgery date 7/25/12

AS far as exercise with the kids, try dance games on a gaming console. that way the kids are playing with you and working out too.

It doesn't have to be all at one time either!! 10 minutes 3 or 4 times a day!!!!

You can do this!! Just remember MEASURE!! Your food. I don't exercise like I should I am 6 months post op and lost 90 pounds so far 79 since surgery!! It isn't coming off fast but at least its coming off!! I weigh daily!! I get sad when I don't see the scales move but I know eventually it will!

Shaun t rocking body, hip hop abs, and if you dare insanity DVD....if you love dancing the first 2 are the best, insanity is more extreme... I hate the gym with these cd's I don't need to go, he works every part of the body

Try not to stress, I personally hide the scale and weigh in weeks at a time.
