How's everyone's journey Back On Track?

I am just curious how long everyone has been back on track and how they are doing? I have 66.8 lbs left to lose and I'm trying to get a feel for how long that will take. It would be nice to be near goal by my surgiversary  but I'm happy as long as I'm losing. When I first had my surgery my surgeon was on his way out and didn't really give me a good plan to guide me. I Did lose around 60 lbs but I have since then gained every ounce of it back. The tool doesn't work if we don't work it right. I was snacking and eating non stop. I was eating junk. The only things I did right were stay away from carbonated drinks and not drink with meals. That was a big help because I kept my restriction. Even though I was snacking all the time the restriction was still there. Now I'm eating about 800 calories a day getting my protein in and trying to get my water in. I'm keeping my carbs below 50 a day but usually a lot less than that. I've lost almost 16 lbs since the week before Thanksgiving. Over all I would say I'm successfully losing but some times I just get so frustrated because I'm losing so slow. I sure wish I had done it right straight out of surgery but I'm so thankful for my restriction because I'm not hungry all the time. Now that the carbs are out of my life I eat three meals a day and I'm satisfied with that. My mom, mother in law, and husband are all eating the same plan as I am and all of them are losing as well. None of them have had surgery and my husband probably won't have surgery now that he sees he can lose this weight doing it like this. He has almost 200 lbs to lose so it will be a long journey but I have confidence that he will be able to do it. I love my new cook book and Pinterest who have both showed me tons of yummy low carb recipes. I made unstuffed cabbage soup the day before yesterday and have been living on it since. Yum it is so good. The cook book I bought is called SIX INGREDIENTS OR LESS LOW-CARB COOKING. I got it on amazon for a couple of bucks. I think it was like six with shipping. So worth the purchase. 

Sounds like you are doing an awesome job! And isn't it great when the people closes to us not only support us but eat the same healthy meals we are? When I first had my surgery I was cooking separate food for myself due to kids living at home and husband was not ready to change his eating. I ate so very little it wasn't a big deal, but now it seems easier to just cook one meal for the two of us and any leftovers he takes in his lunch to work the next day. As far as how long it might take, I  think everyone's body's are so different there would be no real way to guess. Some lose quickly others at a turtles pace. I only last week or so started "again" to get 'back on track' and at least this time I know (at least for now) that I feel so much better eating right! I want to not only lose the weight I have regained but feel good as well. I still have to look up that book you mentioned! I  am also looking into getting one of those "Instant Pot" someone on another thread mentioned to me. I am just trying to see how they are different from a pressure cooker because my husband uses a pressure cooker often when he cooks. I'm more of a crock pot fan.

When I first had surgery me and my husband ate the same things because it was just the two of us and it was easier to make one meal I just ate smaller amounts. I did lose at first but gained it back pretty quickly when I started snacking. I'm actually losing at a quicker rate than I would have just dieting. It took me over a year and a half to lose a 100 lbs when I did it counting calories and exercising. Now I've lost 15.2 lbs in about three weeks. I really really do recommend the cook book it's so yummy. I'm a slow cooker person myself. I love cooking in the crock pot. But haven't made anything in it since I got back on track. I made the unstuffed cabbage in a pot on the stove it was done in about an hour. Pinterest has a lot of good recipes.
