I had my surgery March 17, so I'm 2 months out. I would have to say my biggest obstacle is to try and not graze. If I see something on the counter I might have a taste, or more. I've been working on it, and have been doing better.

What about you? What's been your biggest obstacle so far?

My biggest struggle seems to not beat myself about looking or feeling or eatting/drinking as good/as often as i should.

My biggest obstacle is feeling bad about eating something that isnt good for me. It makes me feel like i let myself down to indulge in these bad foods.

My biggest problem lately has been grazing or tasting too. My surgery was Feb. 6th. I am down 55 pounds so far. Hasn't helped my knees though????. But I seem to have a great desire for carbs. Guess I should improve my liquid intake and double check my protein count.

I'm only 5 days post-op but I am hungry as all get out! I haven't stopped being hungry! I hope this changes!

Adubs, It does get better. Just hang in there. The first two weeks are the hardest. Good luck!

I'm 30 days out today. Social settings are my big obstacle at the moment. I had to decline and end of the year meeting because it was being held at a local buffet. Memorial Day is also going to be challenge.

My biggest obstacle is dealing with clothing. I have very few things that fit and I cannot afford to buy clothes all the time. Sometimes it's really depressing to have 3 shirts to choose from. I am grateful, but I wish I had budgeted for clothing.

I am 7 weeks out and dealing with head hunger has beent the worst. also dealing with stalls.

I'm 13 months post op funny never thought I would be able to say that my biggest obstacle for me after 132 lbs down is loose skin insurance I had wants there to be skin infection issues but I don't have any keep clean dry and intact (you nurse's know what this means) going to new insurance June 1st hope they pay will see.

I will second the loose skin. My arms are especially bad. I have lost nearly 200 pounds, and at 49, I guess you can't expect it to all shrink back to normal. Not sure what I will do about it. It will be another year before I can even think about plastic surgery.

My biggest obstacle so far is that I don't drink enough. I've been so concerned with getting the eating right and making sure I have all my Protein that I forget that I have to drink a certain amount per day as well.
