Girl you look GREAT! Keep melting those pounds away. Which surgery did you have? I'm still going through the process so I don't have a surgery date yet. But i'ts my understanding that weight loss is more rapid with the Gastic Bypass. Also, everyone is different when it comes to losing weight. Congrats to you and keep up the good work.

Way to go! I'm sure you are working hard! Hope you are proud of yourself!

Weight loss can slow down but it is different for everyone. There can be a lot of reasons for this but don't let it mess with you. Focus on keeping up the good habits - whatever exercise you like, lean Protein first and hydration.

One reason that weight loss can slow down is that we weigh less and it takes less energy to do the same activities.
As my surgeon put it - It is like driving a car to Florida and hauling something. If you are hauling 3000 pounds you are going to use more gas than if you are hauling 1000 pounds.

Cravings and head hunger started to get really intense around the 8 to 9 month mark for me. It doesn't happen for everyone, some people don't even get cravings back. My best advice is
read about mindful eating or books by Geneen Roth
maybe get some counseling (helpful for me cause I'm a stress eater) and
if possible avoid keeping around sweets if they trigger you to eat. I keep around sugar free popsicles and yogurt for when I really want something sweet.

All the best to you!!

Thank you so much for your information. It seem to be getting harder for me with craving at first it was easier. I'm going to keep pushing to reach my goal once again thank you.
