My name is Kristal. I had the gastoric bypass surgery a year and a half ago, I've lost a lot of weight and I'm only 18 pounds from where I'd like to be! But Im having a hard time losing the rest and recently started going back into old eating habits! HELP!!

    Hi, Kristal, I'm Amy. Ideally, I'd like to lose 30-40 lbs but will start with 10 for now. I'd like to cut down on my sugar intake, which is really difficult for me because I always crave sweets. I find it hard to exercise sometimes due to work, family, and school commitments but would like to try to exercise more. Let's try to encourage each other!

    I have a bad back and nerve damage in my legs, so I usually just walk my dog. But let's be friends we've got this!! I just started drinking soda and craving sugar because I kind of starved myself for so long due to the gastoric bypass surgery I had. Anytime you need to talk or some encouraging just message me.

    Wow awesome job for being so close to your goal! I know a wonderful women who just got that surgery and she said "instead of having my old love affair with food, I have to have a new love affair with shopping!" Basically, find something you enjoy and do it to distract yourself from food! I am super guilty of over eating so I could use encouragement too! Friend me!
