What makes someone a veteran?

I love this post. I am 1 year and two months post-op. My doctor told me I have lost the expected amount from the sleeve (125lbs) the rest if up to me. My goal is 200lbs so I have 75 more pounds, I find myself strying. I bounce between the same 5 pounds.

Basically I will always be a work in progress and I'm okay with that.

Phat, Congratulations! Great loss. You are already a huge success.

Cool, I'm a vet! I'm 14 months out and have lost 40kg or 88lbs. My hair is still thin although it is growing back in Patches, and I'vefallen off the wagon somewhat recently- been going through some hectic emotional family stuff and NOT eating how I should. However, I've not put on- just stayed the same. I need to lose about 10 more kgs to be at my desired goal, and I really think I'll do it. I'm exercising which is good but finding it hard to channel the emotional stuff into non- food based outlets just at the moment. Anyone else battling a bit like me?

Welcome! Me too. I just make sure I write everything down... keep track, and plan Snacks and desert, as this keeps me from eating the unplanned snack or desert! Good work, keep it up!
