I used to weigh 124...Married at 180....took Lexapro and gained 60 lbs. in 2 mos. I could and cannot get the weight off. My husband and I both had the surgery on June 4th. Any suggestions about what to do? It is really hard not to eat what I want. I can't eat much...but it is still hard. My profile pic is from the good ole days. Ummm....only 3 to 4 years ago actually. Oh well! We are both in the program a little over a month now. Any advice? I work for a counseling center and have to drive around the county just to visit clients. Anyone have advice or a good story??? Reply please!!!:biggrin2: Check my profile and see what I used to look like!

Hey! Welcome! I was 304.4 at my highest. Now, almost 2 months out, I am 42lbs down (lost 15lbs in preop diet). I am super happy and feel great. Staying away from the bad foods has been easier after my second fill. I just don't feel hunger as much. I also have a very routine food plan because I tend to stray and eat crap. I pack a lunch box every day to work and eat ONLY what is in that lunch box. It sounds tough, but once you get used to it, it's a breeze. Good luck to both of you!

Thank you! I figured that after our fill, we will feel better. It is this diet the 2 weeks before the fill that is getting to me!
