Dimples58 167 Posted May 17, 2017 Girl you look GREAT! Keep melting those pounds away. Which surgery did you have? I'm still going through the process so I don't have a surgery date yet. But i'ts my understanding that weight loss is more rapid with the Gastic Bypass. Also, everyone is different when it comes to losing weight. Congrats to you and keep up the good work. 1 Sherelle28441 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pazza 199 Posted May 17, 2017 Way to go! I'm sure you are working hard! Hope you are proud of yourself!Weight loss can slow down but it is different for everyone. There can be a lot of reasons for this but don't let it mess with you. Focus on keeping up the good habits - whatever exercise you like, lean Protein first and hydration.One reason that weight loss can slow down is that we weigh less and it takes less energy to do the same activities. As my surgeon put it - It is like driving a car to Florida and hauling something. If you are hauling 3000 pounds you are going to use more gas than if you are hauling 1000 pounds. Cravings and head hunger started to get really intense around the 8 to 9 month mark for me. It doesn't happen for everyone, some people don't even get cravings back. My best advice is read about mindful eating or books by Geneen Rothmaybe get some counseling (helpful for me cause I'm a stress eater) and if possible avoid keeping around sweets if they trigger you to eat. I keep around sugar free popsicles and yogurt for when I really want something sweet.All the best to you!!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Sherelle28441 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
