    Before and after picture 13 months RNY

    Thank you! And thank you for saying I look healthy. People around me tell me I look sick and it hurts my heart. Last night I was talking with a group of female friends and they were all fired up about my weight etc, "you are too skinny. " " you look sick " etc. so I ask them how come when I was obese none told me I was u healthy ? I don't understand people

    Well not really! You have to work hard and face many side affects but it's all worth it!

    I feel a slow but steady loss is the best way physically and mentally. You are taking all the right steps, just follow your doctor instruction and it's great you are exercising! I had to stop In December because my low calories intake, but I'm getting stronger so I'll start again on Monday. ????

    Bariatric eating

    Thank you!
  8. I'm exhausted, specialty because I'm little underweight and that's all we talk about. I'm so tired of it. I start telling people I'm feeling better, I'm eating a lot! ( unfortunately I still can't eat much) with some proper I feel like they are sincere, with others I think they are just jealous. I can't eat out with friends anymore because they will watch what I eat and talk about my weight loss etc. can we talk about something else? At church everyone ask me about my weight, my family and friends all ask everyday if I eat. That's it! I'm tired to talk about. Even if I try to explain they said: well eat ice cream. No matter I explain to them I suffer from Dumping syndrome. I give up!
  9. Until couple weeks ago I was eating around 800 cal, I'm now around 1200 . I'm underweight but all my vitamins and blood work it's fine. I just saw my doctor on wed and he said I'm fine. My nutritionist wants me to upper my calories and gain weight. I'm fine I wish I had little more energies. Some days I push more food down but then is a struggle for hrs. I'm 1 year out. All my calories come from avocado, fage yogurt, nuts, beans, occasionally crackers or pretzel sticks, no pasta, rice, pizza, bread, it will fill me for the all day and it's hard on my stomach.

    Wellbutrin?

    Couple of years ago I took Wellbutrin and it worked very well for me, but I give me terrible hives after about 15 days. It's was terrible hives all over my body for 1 week. Took me about 2 weeks to slowly come out of it, Doctor things was the Wellbutrin reaction. Unfortunately.

    How to stop weight lost.

    I have 3 endoscopes with balloon enlargement. Because of strictures. My weight is going up trying to eat more. But I'm still around 1200 one day I got to 1800, all healthy calories. It's weird that I already got 3 lbs tho. From 115 to 118. I don't understand if it's a real weight or I'm retaking water for whatever reason. Drinking about 48 oz of water.
  14. My weight is getting too low. How do I stop it? How do I gain weight to have energy and feel healthy? I know this his sound crazy. But it's getting out of control. I never suffer for any eating disorder. Trying to push food but it hurts, and I vomit. A get crazy dumping with sweets. I'm hungry but I can't eat enough. 115lbs /5'6'/ 1 year out.

    How to stop weight lost.

    Today I'm on 1800 cal, all good calories, healthy foods, I made the mistake to weight myself tonight. 118 lbs my head it's spinning now. If I keep eating would I gain too much? And gain all my weight back? How do I balance?

    How to stop weight lost.

    thank you! I'm working with both a nutritionist and a psychologist, today was good day I try to eat more, even had pasta, Greek yogurt, and finally some shaved meet with olive oil and lemon. I was able to keep it down. I need to let myself gain some weight and be ok with it. Because I had surgery to have a healthy life with my kids and husband.
