@catwoman7 thanks for explaining some of the things you did pre-surgery and how they helped; and well done on your weight loss .... it's really helping reading a little of others experiences @GradyCat congratulations on the weight you've lost since surgery; and that's so encouraging to read that the surgery has helped you with the emotional eating as well; and to know i'm not alone in wondering regarding the hunger compared to emotional eating issue. Thanks for what you've shared @Orchids&Dragons thanks very much for your reply here. Definitely not something to do as a first option. i've done the loss, maintain, regain thing ........ a number of times. I've read some of the stories of sabotage after wls, and this is definitely something i want avoid, and to try and sort through before the surgery and find ways to reduce that happening. So working on my head, and finding new coping tools; that will then help with the surgery (as another tool) seems to be the direction I need to be taking

I have hit my longest stall so far. Six weeks, and I've really struggled this last week to stay on plan. Any suggestions to stay motivated and not lose my determination. This is such a battle of the mind. I just don't want to fall into my old habits that I've worked so hard to overcome.

I've seen a number of people here say they needed to sleep on a recliner for a couple of weeks post-op, so it must be a common thing.

Quite a few people have mentioned sleeping in a recliner for a while. I had to sleep on a wedge for about a week. So, yes, it's common. You just have to find out what you can do to get comfortable. Good luck!

Believe you me, if I tried that, Precious Pouch would reflux it right back up so fast I might aspirate. She has absolutely no sense of humor, we get along better if I give her no more than 2-3 ounces a sip.

Thank you! Please keep us updated about surgery and all! Good luck and well wishes. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app
