I'm still hanging in here. I had my psych consult today. Took a T/F test with a zillion questions as well. I think I did well. I am quitting Starbucks. Even though I drink the skinny drinks, it's still too much calories. I understand why. I also gave up dirt Coke. I know why. I know what can happen if I don't follow the instructions to the letter. This is life changing surgery for me. I dont want to die from diabetes. This is so worth it to me. I have another psych follow up visit to get test results. End of this month I have cardiac consult. I'm also maintaining my weight.
11 months to go from 187 to 115.

Welcome to our LW Board!!! It took me 9 months to get to my personal goal of 125. I was happy there so I increased my Protein drinks hoping not to gain any back. I continued losing for another 6 months dropping down to 108. My family kept telling me I was way to thin and I got scared. Against all of the advice I got from our "oldies" not to start maintenance early I didn't listen. Bounce Back is for real!!!!! The scales started moving in the wrong direction as soon as I added some calories in. I creeped up to the 118-120 range where I have settled for the last 6 years.

I hope you haven't started Maintenance yet. You need to let your body go as low as it wants to because bounce back is real!

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
