I'm on the se situation . 3 years out and lost 60-70 depending on the day. I finally went to the dr and am on phentermine and using the my fitness pal app. It has helps me tremendously. I've lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks and only have 10- 20 more. My fitness pal has really been a god send and it's totally free:)

Thank you everyone for your response. I just don't want to fail. I know it's a tool but I just feel like I'm having to work even harder with it to lose the next 50 pounds. It's hard not to get discouraged sometimes.

Also, I've been at a stall for a while now. Does my body just "like" this weight or what? How can I propel myself out of it?

You might want to search this site for "stall" - a lot has been written about it.

Be HONEST with yourself. I had my surgery in April 2013. I lost the first 100 by November 2013. Since then, 29 lbs has been slow to come off. I've been at 190 for about three months. One day, I thought about it and realized I was slipping into old habits... Eating carbs like crackers, chips, crispy carbs that don't aggravate my sleeve. I was also not exercising at ALL because I was tired. I've realized that if I'll get my butt out of bed and go work out, I have SO MUCH more energy!!! It's a mind game. When I wanted salty food the other day, I made a boiled egg and put salt and pepper on it. My sleeve was thrilled with this!!!! I've lost 3lbs since starting back to the gym and eating healthy again. Refocus!!! :)

      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! 😞
