I admit im a cheater when it comes to diet plan, my weight is not loosing and i been exercising and do a lot of  starvation and even tying out weight loss alternative medicine like an apple cider vinegar. it works for just a few months, but what keeps my loosing weight fast is having green tea into my diet preferably matcha. An hour before meals i drink matcha it is much faster when loosing weight with green tea based on what i experience. of you would like to try out matcha try this http://matchaoutlet.com/matcha/starter-matcha-1lb/  i been using this as frappe. latte and baking.

The window in which we lose the most weight after surgery is between 18-24.   Now, we have to work harder at losing and that means focusing on dense proteins, weight/measuring our food.  Keeping a journal of the foods you eat, so you can cut wht is not necessary.    If you can do that as well as cut any simple carbs and all sugar, you could start to lose again, with exercise.    Stick to a support system either online or in person too.  It is vital. 

I myself have had regain in the last two years and I am working on getting that off.   This surgery is not a miracle cure, it is definitely a tool.

Hi Kitty!

I am also terrible about drinking water daily.  I know we need to have so I drink as much as I can in the mornings right after exercising, that's when I am really thirsty.  The remainder of the day I have resorted to non-caloric flavored water.  Everyone keeps telling me I'm supposed drink regular water and to get least 64 - 80 oz but the flavored water works for me.  I buy the Giant's flavored water.  The kiwi lime tastes like sprint to me.   Good luck in reaching and maintaining your goals.

I really like the On Yeah On Bars  They have 21G of Protein and only 1 sugar.  They are very tasty  They do have sugar alcohol but it has not affected me.
