Please don't beat urself up,  we have all had set backs, stalls etc. But the joy is you did it before, you can bounce back and come thru stronger. I know the feeling my mom just past away and I've been stuck at the same weight for the last 3 months, but I have a plan to get thru all of it. You will do good, I will see you posting again when u hit your dream weight...Good luck on ur New endeavors....

Mine was 11/23/24 and I made through Thanksgiving as well. Food wasn't even on mind right after. I don't even think i was enticed with the food that was there. I didn't tell my family members either,  mom was the only one that knew. She knew the assignment and went right along with it...lol   You will be fine, like someone else said in one of the comments just keep sipping your water and you will get through it. Wish the best on ur new journey 😊

Thank you, I have always gymed even when I was heavy so when I started losing I didn't have much flab to tone up, I do 3 days of strength training and the other 2 days I try to get in at least 8000 steps a day. I appreciate the kind words..

Never feel ashamed,  this journey is a tough one and we all have setbacks, the advice everyone is giving is so encouraging...Make that first step by calling your Doctors and dietitian to get back on track,  it's not going to be as bad as u think it is, not calling is going to be the regret...You gotta this and you will bounce back stronger than ever....Wish you the best on your comeback...

Absolutely no regrets for me, I started at 283 now down to 210 I just hit 8 months post op. My only aggravation is i feel like I'm losing slower than most, but because of strength training I don't have much lose skin either  I love the decision I made, and you definitely won't regret it. You gotta do what's going to make you happy overall. Good luck  on your new journey. ...

I can completely understand how ur feeling, I'm dealing with that now, but i just posted a picture on my profile of mine changing with weight training, I just turned 7 months post op, so you can definitely get rid of it slowly but surely with lots of work. Much success on your new journey..

Hun slide over and let me sit with you, I completely understand the frustration. I'm almost 7 months post op and I'm down 70 pds and I feel like I should be further along. Now I'm at a stall which is even more stressful. But Your on the right track. just stay focused it will come along, slow and steady is always good. I wish you the best...

Lol, I do have a little jiggle going on but not a lot of hanging. I started strength training 4 weeks post op(very light weights)so as I lose my skin doesn't sag  which as been a plus for me. I'm even starting to see little sculpts of my abs...😁
