WOW, i am close to one year in and i started this journey at 306lbs and i am 191lbs. I started at a clothing size of 22 and now i am a size12. Wow wow wow!!!!! All heath issues resolved as well.

I’m 3 years out and all I want to do is snack, don’t know what’s going on. And I want sweets all the time

Please find healthy snacks like dates, fruit and veggies and drink lots of water it will help. Remember why you had the surgery and all the success you achieved thus far then ask yourself is it worth it. Fight, fight, fight through the snacking- get fruit and veggies have them in containers ready on the go. You‘ve come too far to go back where you started..... The choice is your, which will you choose maintain your success or or go back to the beginning? Good luck!

This is my Sunday prep:

Cucumbers and onions, baked chicken, dates, black beans, stuffed salmon, mangos, mixed nuts and i will prepare the main meals with mixed veggies. Since we can not eat that much these items will last me all week.

You have to prepare and if not and you not strong enough to withstand the cravings you can expect to fail.

Great question, my response...

1. Remember why you had the surgery every day.

2. Stick to the plan

3. If you don't see the weight falling off, don’t sweat it because it will...soon

4. Be discipline and avoid an abundance of sugar and carbs.

5. Read labels if the card and sugar count is high push away from it. Again remember why you had the surgery it will help.

6. Remember, you can lose all the weight and get healthy and go right back to where you started. There are many people who have gained the weight back.

7. Remember, the surgery is just a tool, not a quick fix. You have to put in the work daily.

8. Drink your water!!!

I hope this helps and if you need to call me you are welcome yo do so.
