I am doing the surgery with a low BMI too. 19 days until surgery. I have told my mother and son. That's it. No one from work or anyone else. I have gained every year. Just 5 years ago I weighed 50 pounds less. I know the way I was coping was a losing battle. I am tired. I want my body back. I want to smile. I want to get dress and not put something back because it won't go over my thighs. I want to stop buying cheap clothes on sale because they fit. I want to go to the beach and wear a swimsuit. I want to actually look in the mirror instead of rushing past it because I don't like the reflection. You are not alone. This is about you. It is your turn.

I weighed myself today, after I already was weighed yesterday. I told myself don't become obsess with scale because I will go crazy. I will way myself every 2 weeks from now on.

IM NOT IN SPRING BUT IN AUGUST 2017

You look amazing, I have followed your progress for about a year now. Congratulations to a job well done! Your smile is worth a thousand words!!!

I have heard of this on this, Several times, on BP. And if I remember correctly, it was around the 2 year mark. Personally, I have not experienced it. Maybe get hold of your nutrionist from your bariatric team for suggestions. I specifically remember at least one person coming back and mentioning the issue had resolved, but can't recall how. On another note, it's great you have maintained your weight, relatively well. I never got down to my goal weight and have regained about 11 pounds! It's a real struggle to get it off.

I hope I lessen what I have some. I'm 42G and would love to shrink down to a D or C cup. That would be great. ♡ Elysia

Thank you for the great responses. Logging may be in my future if I find that I am not loosing without it. I've done it before, but I love to cook and mix things and it becomes very difficult to try to figure out things that aren't listed, or things with multiple ingredients that I didn't weigh first. I just went over my monthly weight loss from November, December and January, 8, 3 and 6 respectively. And 2 this morning. I agree about the consistency of workouts and meditation also. I think slowing down and focusing on our next steps is helpful. Will keep these tips in mind. Thanks again

Don't be scared of trying new foods. You'll find what works and what doesn't, and as long as you chew a lot and eat slowly your stomach should be okay.

As others have said, the best way of keeping track of calories is to keep a log. The least painful way of doing this is through an app and I find the MyPlate app is very helpful, it works everything out for you, not only calories but fat, Protein and carb content.
