I think your body will slow weight loss and stop when it needs to. You are pretty young and so getting back to your pre children weight would not be too thin. So I don't think you should worry over much.

Add some healthy higher calories Snacks. My goto is a handful of almonds, dark chocolate m&ms and almond m&ms. It is fat and tiny bit of sweetness and also fills me up. I would not recommend in Weight loss phase but in maintenance it really hits the spot. I also have a banana or other fruit a couple times a week when I never did I in weight loss phase plus 2-3 Alice's of bread a week.

Just make sure to track so that a little extra doesn't add up to more and then you get hooked on carbs or sugar which is what causes weight gain. Remember Protein then fat then carbs - and very rarely sugar.

I was looking for a way to out my feelings about my weight loss journey after VSG. Today I have decided to write about how people treat you before and after weight loss. The difficulties going out to eat, because you cant buy a smaller portion or you cant order from kids menu eating in.

1. how do people treat you?

In the past i felt invisible and i felt a shame. I have the same personality i am the same me although i feel like people are nicer to me. I feel some kinda way about that. I truly now notice how surface people are in todays society. It is so sad.

2.Restaurants do not cater to weight loss patients at all. The portions given are to big.

I just want to say I am so inspired! I too am 5'5 and my weight loss goal is 135. I am one month out and down 25lbs or so. You are at a perfectly healthy weight for your height and you look great! Congratulations!

You look beautiful. And you seem to be a good weight for your height right now. I'm the same height and my surgeon said that a good weight for someone 5'5" is right around 135! Talk to your nutritionist if you are concerned about your weight loss and need suggestions on maintenance.

That's great. And it's really refreshing to here your wonderful journey with loosing the weight . I just had the sleeve surgery on June 11th and I've lost 20 lbs so far . Right now I'm on the fourth week and I've stopped loosing. I'm a little discouraged and I hope that I will start to loose more weight. I'm pretty much stick on what to do next. I'm following the diet plan that my surgeon authorized . Will I loose more weight soon? Please help with any advise. I sure need it.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
