Help.. I need some major motivation!!!

I will be 11 months post op on Sunday. I weighed 315 the morning of surgery and now I teter totter between 189-191 lbs. My heaviest weight was 327. I am happy with my weight loss but still have approx 25lbs to goal. I am losing really slowly now so I get really frustrated easily. But just recently I found out that do not dump on sugar. Why did I have to eat that damn cookie anyway?? No I am so afraid that I will go back to my old habits. I feel like a failure for even allowing myself to eat like that again. Has anyone else struggled with this?? I really want to get to my goal before trying to conceive a baby. DH and I have tried before with no luck. (I have PCOS). So I am hoping that this surgery will be the milestone to my success in having a baby. Sorry this post is so long I am just having one of those days and need some motivation...

OH YESSSS........... I too don't dump on sugar unless it's big amounts. A single cookie does nothing for me. Christmas Eve I was able to eat 3 miniature pastries and guess what? That's when I discovered I can have some real sugar and not dump unless its large amounts. So I struggle with this everyday. As far as the slow weight loss, don't worry aboout that. The slower the better. I only have 30 to goal and I am losing very slowly. As far as pregnancy, yu really should wait at least 18-24 months post-op before getting pregnant. Consult with your surgeon and OB/GYN with this. You don't want malnutrition on the fetus and only being 11 months out, there is a strong possibility of malnutrition. If you have anymore questions, feel free to e-mail me anytime. Marie Edie

I'm right there with you. Stuck bouncing around between 180 and 185 when I need to get below 150. I'm redeveloping a snacking habit, which I need to nip in the bud. I REALLY need to get motivated to keep up a regular exercise program.
