Not missing the 200 mark on the scale.
Hello all,
Well as of this Thurs. I will be 6 months post op and have lost a total of 88 lbs., taking me down below 200 lbs. weighing in at 194, and I feel great. Still have about 30 lbs to goal, but if I didn't lose another pound I'd be satisfied. I have been noticing that I am cheating alot more now than I use to, and am making a mental note to stop this. So, how is everyone else doing?

Debbie,
You are doing wonderful! 
Congrats on the 88 lbs and to see a 1 in front of the number on the scale must be so exciting. I am on my way but still struggling to make the 1 appear. I have faith that I will get there eventually. Still have over 50 lbs to get off before it appears. I too have been cheating too much. I find that carbs go down much easier than protein. I have actual hunger now and not just in my head. The other night my hunger actually woke me up! I had to get up and drink some water just to be able to go back to sleep. I don't think that has ever happend to me in my life. I have never been one to get up and have a midnight snack and I surely will not start now! I have also found that I can tolerate sugar in small quantities. I have not pushed it past 7 or 8 grams at a time but I know that quantity goes down fine. BAD news for me. I wish I had never tried it. Now I will be tempted repeatedly. My advice for anyone reading this is "DO NOT ATTEMP SUGAR AT ALL!" It is an no win situation.

I am snacking way to much also. I can tolerate sugar also just not huge amounts. I am 1 week over my 6 month mark and really scared about starting bad habits. I seem to keep loosing weight, but am trying to keep my snacking under control. As I sit at my desk feeling sorry for myself I am wondering if I have anything to snack on. LOL. I have lost 110 pounds and never want to see that back again. Some of my fibromyalgia pain has come back and I'm feeling sorry for myself about that too and I want to drown my sorrows in food. Thanks for being honest in your post it's nice to know that other people are struggling like myself.
