Thank you guys! My diet is decent and I exercise often, but perhaps its a mental thing too because I really do not like where I'm at so its affecting how I feel about my progress.

Hey guys, I had my surgery on June 22, 2016 and I used to be 250 pounds. I am now 185 pounds, meaning that I only lost 65 pounds. My goal weight is 150 but I feel like I should have reached that a while ago. Should I go in for additional surgery? Should I diet and exercise even harder? If anyone has any advice or can relate, please let me know.

To be honest, I'm not sticking strictly to my plan so I will be more accountable from now on. I'm thinking about going back to my liquid diet for a month or so. Congrats on your weight loss!

Hello, I underwent gastric bypass surgery on June 22, 2016 and have lost 77 pounds so far. My highest weight was 250 pounds and my goal weight is 150. I am currently 173 but it has been so difficult to lose the last 23 pounds. I knew the weight loss was going to slow down but I did not know it would happen this early in the game. I noticed that I could eat more than I did in the beginning and it scares me; in fact it scares me so much that I have been thinking about doing the surgery again. It also does not help that I have an aunt who had gastric sleeve and shows off that she is now 130 by criticizing me. What should I do? I feel like a failure and it is so hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey guys, I had gastric bypass surgery on June 20, 2016. Even though the road has not always been easy, I am so grateful to my surgeon and my family for being there for me when I decided to change my life. I lost 61 pounds so far and am 49 pounds away from my goal weight. However, I want to shine a light on some non scale victories that motivated me to keep going. I went from a size 1X-XL to a size L and am super close to being a size M. My skin is clearing up (I barely get acne and the dark spots are fading). I feel more confident, more healthy, more energetic, and most importantly, happier. What are your NSVs?

It has been a while since I have last seen my nutritionist... I am going to look into it. Congrats on reaching your goal weight! I am so happy for you!

Yes, I really needed this info! I will look into it! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much and yes, I will change up my workout routine. To be honest, my workout to this point has been power walking so maybe my body is telling me to go a little harder.

Hey guys, I had gastric bypass on June 20, 2016 and next week (on Monday), I will be 3 months out. I started my weight loss journey at 250 pounds and am currently 189 pounds. In the first month, I was shedding weight so quickly and beautifully. In the second month, my weight loss slowed but not enough to panic. Shortly after, I stalled for a week, lost a little bit, and then stalled again. I drink a lot of Water and make sure to prioritize Protein in my meals. Is this normal? If so, how long does it usually last? How can I break out of it? I feel like I am a failure and the weight loss goal I had of 140 pounds is no longer in my reach. Please help! Thanks in advance!

I'm 21 years old and have been fat all my life. What broke the camel's back was when I was diagnosed with diabetes before going away for school. I cried more because of my mom's reaction than the actual diagnosis. But that diagnosis opened my eyes that I had to lose weight or I wouldn't live long. A few other things: I didn't like the way I felt in clothes. I didn't like the way I looked in photos. I developed unwanted hair and dark Patches of skin on my body. I could have fertility issues in the future. Overall, I just want to start living.

Me too! My family just went out to eat and even though I chose to do this, I feel like clawing their eyes out of hunger lol.

Thank you guys! Good luck to you as well!
