newstart! 36 Posted May 20, 2013 I was 8 months post OP on the 17th. I hit onderland, and the photo i attached is exactly one year apart. My husband puts his truck in a truck show every year. The weight loss really didn't stand out to me until i compared these side by side. Amazing! Worth every moment!

Great job![/quote'] I have stalled along the way. I felt defeated at 5 months...stalled forever! Just remember this is a lifestyle change, and a commitment. You will get there! I don't really track calories, if i need to snack its nuts or beef Jerky. For 8 months out i feel i should be at the 100lb mark post OP, but I'm not and that's ok, but i will be soon (hopefully). My surgeons office told me you will continue to lose for your 1st year, hope this helps!....does anyone else get "hangry" grumpy when hungry as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
