9 Months Post-Op

[UTGal99 327]

I am 9 months post-op and down approximately 80 pounds. I find this process very interesting as it gets harder and harder to lose the weight the further out you go. I am very frustrated as it feels like I have been stuck at this 80 pound point FOREVER! I just can't seem to get the scale to move along. Worst of all, is that I have learned to "play the game." I have now realized that you can only eat a small portion in a sitting but you can graze all day if you want to. Now, I get the point that this is counterproductive but tell that to the "fat girl" hiding inside who desperately wants to eat! Any advice how to move past this slump I am in and get the weight loss rolling along again?? I refuse to be the one person who loses only 80 pounds and can't overcome the demons and gains the weight back....

I would start by cutting the carbs and only eating at meal times (3 meals and two Snacks, or whatever you choose to follow). Give yourself 30 minutes to eat. Whatever is not eaten after 30 minutes, put away or throw away. And make sure you getting all your Protein and fluids in. Good luck to you... you can definitely do this:)
