I eat all my meals off a sandwich plate, that way it looks like I have lots of food on it but weird that I only eat half of it,lol. My hubby says that is all u r eating,lol, As he goes for seconds,

Thank you for the encouraging words. So what kind of things are you eating? Have you over eatin at all? Have you cheated? I am asking cause I have. I struggle with food soooooooo much that sometimes I think I will always be fat and this will not work for me.

This is a long time out.. since April...I am now down 53 pounds...went from size 18 to a size 12...and very happy. Need to lose another 25 ish....It has really slowed down now..lost only 8 pounds for the month of July. but I have already lost 2 pounds for April..so it is still coming off! I know I can eat a little more....obviously..and I have cheated many times..The difference now is that my cheating amount is soooo much less. (example.. instead of eating 15 cookies..I only eat one or two. But I hope everyone of us keeps our faith....take our time..be patient! Life is so much better with this weight off. I can't wait to get my next physical and see the new stats on my blood tests. We will all be so much better off!

I have lap band. It slipped and we are removing it and going with the sleeve. My surgery got moved from March to July. Need someone who can give me support on the pre- diet until my surgery so I don't regain weight. I am working out a food plan. Hope I can stick to it and not graze. I currently have no restriction from the band due to how it angled when it slipped.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
