It has been 7 and a half months and I have lost 95 pounds. The weight loss has slowed down and I get hungry now where before I didn't seem to feel hungry. I am scared I may start gaining back but I am determined to not go backwards!!!

AmyRae I'm at about the same point post-op that you are. I adoped a rule right after my surgery that I have followed religiously all along. I never eat less than two or more than four hours apart. The pre-op information that I got said that you should never eat less than two hours apart. I added the four hour rule to avoid getting overly hungry and creating a situation where I would be more likely to over eat. The result has been that I eat at least four and sometimes five times a day. To be sure, those are not all large meals. But if it's been four hours, I eat something whether I'm hungry or not. I also drink two to three cups of coffee a day (at least 30 minutes after eating and usually an hour or more) which I have found to be extremely valuable in keeping me from getting overly hungry. I keep the pantry well stocked with healthy options for light meals - nuts of all kinds, fruit, vegetables, Protein Bars, Protein Shakes, light cheese, turkey Jerky, low cal/low carb crackers (I love crunchy) and I'm always looking for new options when I'm at the store. And last but not least, I have an app on my phone that I use to log everything I eat. Regardless of when I might get hungry, I know exactly where I'm at calorie/protein/carb and time wise at any point in the day. I think getting hungry is a natural, healthy thing. As long as you have lots of options for addressing it, it's nothing to fear.

What kind of app is it you use?

[Anjela424 23]

I use my fitness pal

Anjela I use my fitness pal too!! I love how it always tells you eating only between 600-800 can cause your body to starve lol!!

[Anjela424 23]

Ikr.....trying to be so careful what to eat and what not to I nearly sent my body into starvation mode! Vamp its been difficult but I'm sure it will all be worth it in the long run

[KevinsBabyGirl85 364]

Anjela most definitely worth it!!! If I had to do over again I would in a heartbeat! I couldn't imagine loosing the weight I have without my new weight loss tool! I'm just getting frustrated because I weighed 180 got up to 190 and I feel smaller but it's not coming off like I want it to!

I haven't weighed one anything since I was a teen...or even 2 anything....man I can't wait to see those kinds of results. I'm hoping I don't have a lot of loose sagging skin though
