  1. Hello! I have never felt hungry like I did before. It makes me wonder how much of the hunger was all in my head all along. I question myself before I eat if it is time to eat and if what I am eating is healthy. It took me about 7 months post-op to lose 125 lbs (including the pre-op diet). I am 0.3 lbs away from 130 now and June 29th will be 8 months post-op. It has definitely slowed down, but if I look at averages, I am averaging right about 2 lbs/week. The first 6 months I was averaging around 4 lbs/week! I do work-out, but not like a crazy person :) I try to workout 5 times/week for 45-60 minutes. I really don't have a secret besides changing many aspects of my life. I try to be around as many positive people as I can be, I eat 98% of the time very healthy foods, I exercise, I drink a lot of water, I take vitamins, and I work on the mental games that my brain tries to play with me. I don't play into cravings, although I still have them. If I do, it is a tiny tiny bite :)
