My surgery was 5/29/15 so I'm coming up to a year post op. I expected to loose 100lbs but only lost around 55lbs. I basically haven't lost anything since November. I must be doing everything wrong and I just feel stuck and down on myself for not doing better. Need support. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow that's a great article! Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App My starting BMI was around 37 I think. I was 250 and now I'm 195. I have been eating a lot of veggies for snacking and salad in a jar to help but need to boost my Protein. I sometimes forget how important it is. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Old habits regarding snacking have crept back in. I've just looked into attending a support group. I've never been a big drinker but I drink more Water than I ever have. My exercise is minimal. My doctor hasn't given much other than the normal eat certain foods and such speech. I don't have a Protein target. My doctors did everything with my surgery really fast so I didn't get much prep time nor did I get to see a nutritionist before my surgery like I was supposed to. I've been trying to see one for 4 months but they denied me bc I've already had the surgery. I'm just so nervous I'm going to gain the weight back if I let bad habits return.

I felt the same way because I felt like I literally mourned food and got no enjoyment out of food but things did get better around 6 months so hang in there Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The same thing happened to me 5 months post op so I've been taking Biotin and hair and nail gummies every day since and it has helped a lot. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
