VERY well stated Roxy!

I am not that far along, but I fear not losing as well.

I think eating wisely and healthy foods are key. I want to do that, but meals can be a challenge.

Protein can be a challenge, yet on another hand is simple. Overall, it is complex and I have found my taste is off so each bite can be challenging.

I hope others reply.

I'm at 3 months, my surgery was July 16. Ive lost 60 lbs so far but I've been scared also that the weight loss will stop. I'm actually thinking about going back on full liquids for a few days

I have been losing slowly since month four, but I DO lose. Don't stress yourself out, stalls can be an unfortunate part of this process.

Many, many people experience stalls and still get to their goal weight.

I've made many mistakes that contributed to my slow loss but I have made changes recently & it's coming off again.

So here are my recommendations:

#1- I introduced carbs too soon & it was and truthfully still has been a difficult habit to break. Leave the bad carbs alone. It's ok to enjoy it occasionally (preferably when you're closer to goal)

#2- The first year to eighteen months are what they refer to as the honeymoon period. Some say the honeymoon ends after a year & others say eighteen months. Regardless, give it your best shot. Make this surgery count!

#3- Protein & veggies, and at least 60oz. Of Water, or whatever is recommended by your team.

#4- work out (aerobics) and lift weights, when cleared. I have not been consistent with my workouts and started weights just this past month. Don't go crazy with the workouts, give your body time to rest. I was told 4-5 days a week.

Hope this helps

Wishing you a successful journey
