Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your weight loss.

Thanks now seems to be the hardest hour of all. I started slacking therefor started having cravings. Haven't gained any weight. But completly stopped loosing. Trying to get my head back in the game. I lied i actually gained 3 or 4 lbs last week. I was in hospital. No food or drink allowed. Still can't figure on how that happened.

Many times when you are in the hospital they fill your body with fluids through an I.V. so when you leave the hospital you weigh more than when you entered. It can take a week or two after you leave the hospital to lose these fluids.

I am 3 and 1/2 years out and I can totally relate to the continued hard work that it takes to keep ourselves in check. I can say with all honesty that my exercise is wha is my saving grace. I walk 3 to 4 days a week and go 4 miles at a time. For the last month the weather has been cold or rainy (I live in Oregon) so I have slacked on my exercise. Some of it is Life gets in the way as I'm sure you know also. I dreaded weighing and thought I was up a lot. I kind of avoid the scales as much as I can. Even tho I weigh 125#'s now I STILL hate them. I am so bad that prior to my WLS I didn't go to the Dr much because I knew they weighed me!! Even after I lost my weight I still avoided it. So I did get on the scales because it had been at least 3 months since I seen my DR. Luckily I was still mainting but you know I feel like I just lucked out, and if I don't get to walking it may be my undoing!! I know you can do this!! You all ready showed this. You CAN DO THIS!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!
