Only piece I can offer is go back to the basics. Don't let yourself get lax with your diet.

First of all, you look amazing! Congratulations. I really trust my surgeon. I listen to everything he tells me. The one thing he tells me is that 150 lbs is perfect for me. Then if I want to set a new goal after that that I could. For him, he was happy with the 150. I started at 227lbs. I am now a size 4/27 in jeans. It's a great feeling. I started to gain the weight back a little because I started to get lazy with the exercising. This all happened this past year. So I started exercising again and hopefully I can get back to where I was before at 153. I put on 30 lbs this winter. I eat right. No carbs. Plenty of Protein and Water. But if you don't exercise it just comes right back to you. So I am back on the exercising and I can't get lazy. I have neuropathy in my legs due to a spine injury. But I can't let that get in the way. My advice to you is do whatever makes you happy. You look amazing.

You look amazing. Congratulations. The only real person who can determine if you need to keep losing is you, but be honest with yourself. You admitted that you still see a "fat person" when you look in the mirror. That sounds more like body image problems than a real necessity to lose more weight. Talk to a professional about that, consult with your doctor, and Celebrate the new you!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
