worried

So i am a year out  and I have lost 100 lbs! I feel great and my life has totally changed inside and out.  but the only thing is i have have not lost any weight in a long time and it scares me.  I mess up and then get back on track its just a revolving door. I dont like that I can eat more now... and i actually get hungry now. people think that gastric bypass is the easy way out but it is one of the hardest/ most challenging things i have ever done.  I really just dont want this to be the end of the weight loss.  I hear that there is a time when u stop losing when is that? i still have 50 or so lbs to loose and REALLY want to make it to my goal.  I am just scared and frustrated. please help!

they say the last 30-50 lbs are the hardest to get off...i am finding that out also...i have 50 more pounds to lose to be at my surgeons goal and i havent lost anything in quite some time.
id say get with your doctor or nutritionist to get a plan going to boost that weight loss again...either way dont worry ITS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
p.s. you look great =)


good luck hun...
not much help, i know, but i just wanted u to know that you are definitely not alone!!

 I've pretty much slowed/stopped with my weight loss as far as what I think the surgery itself is going to do.  I've lost about 62% of my excess weight and when I went into my 6 month check up, they said that I have went above and beyond for me.   

I feel like now I'm like "normal" people who are trying to lose the last 15-20lbs..it's hard and it takes time, energy and work.   I know there will be setbacks but I'm not going to let it stop me from getting to my goal weight of 135.   I also know that it's going to really take discipline on my part to be mindful of what I'm eating and drinking...this time of year is hard for me because of all the summer parties, bbq's and beer!  But, I have to just ask myself what is more important to me.  

You'll get to your goal with the same hard work that's gotten you this far.  I think you know what you have to do so just believe in yourself and you'll get there!
