This month marks my 2 years since surgery. I have lost 50% of my body weight since surgery and I am happy where I am at. My problem is...I am TERRIFIED of putting ANY weight back on. I think I am so concerned about it because if I tell someone I have had the surgery, they are like "oh, that's great, my so and so had that surgery but he/she gained all their weight back." I eat pretty good, no fast food, I don't drink alcohol, and I think on average I consume about 1,500 calories a day which I have been told I should be averaging about 800-1000 for being 2 year post op. I try to get 30 mins of walking in per day. I just don't know if I should have the fear of putting the weight back on or if I am over reacting. I step on the scale every day and I know that is not psychologically healthy. I need some guidance from someone that has had gastric bypass surgery and has successfully kept their weight off. This may be a stupid question, but do people that have had gastric bypass surgery put weight on faster than the average person with a similar diet? I really need a good mentor that can help me work through these clearly emotional issues I am having.
