Well this really scared the crap out of me [emoji23]. First time in a year so yeah, I've been eating more then I would like since Christmas and New year, good thing is that this scared me enough to get back on track [emoji23]

Yeah and I had some normal cheese which I normally won't eat so, my heartbeat has gone a bit down, but I'm still not feeling well. I think I was panicking what made it feel even worse. I really felt like I was having a heart attack, the more I focused on it the worse I felt. I'm just lying flat on the couch now and it's helping a bit, I don't think I will ever eat normal cheese again. I'll tell my gp next time I have to see her just so she also knows and I'll see what she says. Thanks for answering.

I had gastric bypass a year agro, all went well and I didn't have any complications. I rarely dump, only when I overeat or eat to much sugar, but that would only be like once a month at most. I just ate some cheese (no light version) and after that I started having heart palpitations with a heart rate around 135 bpm. I read that you can get that as a dumping syndrome but this is new to me, I always watch what I eat and rarely dump and when I do it's only some light discomfort. I'm feeling really uncomfortable right now, I'm kinda scared especially seeing I have such high heart rate and my chest hurts. But that's normal right, no need to see a Dr?

Thanks for all the awesome comments [emoji8]

You didn't misread, I hadn't updated my stats in a long time and noticed because of your response [emoji23] . My personal goal was actually a size 42 (I have this picture were i always found myself looking good at that size) or 170 lbs, my surgeon said the op would get me to 207, so I already went past that. But the thing is that I'm already at size 42 atm and I don't feel like I look anything like that picture, so I wanne push till 170 now...

Woops, double post and don't know how to delete

Thank you so much for this, this was just what i needed to hear. I don't mind if those last 30 lbs take a long time, even if they would take me more then 6 months or so I don't mind, as long as I eventually get to my goal I'm happy. I try not to fixate on the number my scale shows me. The last 3 months I only did a monthly weigh in because I was panicking when I gained (which was quite often if you weigh daily) and would not eat at all. I also started exercising more intensely around the same time and even though I have only lost around 20lbs in the past 3 months I dropped multiple sizes. I have a lot more muscle especially in my legs and because of that I have less hanging skin. My body fat % has dropped immensely, so those are the things I try looking at now. But I had a weigh in at my surgeons office and knew I was 30 away from my personal goal because of that, so when he told me most people go into maintenance after 1 year and often gain a little bit back before maintaining it kinda made me panic.

Thanks that very reassuring, I still watch what I'm eating, drink my water and exercise so. I do sometimes "slip up", like when we have a family dinner I will eat healty and allow myself 1 thing I really want, but I don't overdo like I used to. I'm still trying and working on losing those 30 lbs, but the way my surgeon told me I sounded like it's nearly impossible to loose after 1 year, kinda freaked me out at that moment [emoji23]

Actually I'm at 203 lb, I lost 117 already and like I said I would still like to lose another 30 to reach my personal goal. I still watch what I'm eating, I don't track my food anymore unless I haven't lost in a while. Then I'll log my food for a week to see if I'm not going wrong somewhere, I drink a lot of water and exercise daily. I do a lot of cycling, did almost 1300km (I think that's 777 miles, correct me if I'm wrong) in the last 2 and a half months even when it's almost freezing and raining I will still go. The days I'm not cycling I will go for at least a 30 minute walk. I don't want to stop loosing untill I'm at 170, but since my surgeon told me I was below his goal weight and that most people tend to go into maintenance after 1 year (which is only 2 more month for me) I got scared.

So I have been below BMI 30 for a few weeks now and finally wanted to share some pictures... I still want to lose around 30 lbs, but we'll see how that goes. Before Now

So I had a consult with my surgeon today and he told me that most patients tend to go into a maintenance phase after 1 year (I'm 10 months post op and lost a bit over the weight that they expected). So I lost 70% of my excess weight, but I would like to loose a few more kg, I would actually like to loose at least 4 more kg (which is definitely possible before my 1 year mark) and my personal goal weight is actually still 14kg. What experience do you guys have with losing after 1 year? He also told me that most people tend to regain a few kg before going into maintenance (he told me that regaining 5kg would be normal for me). Also would like the hear some experiences on this one, I panic at the idea of gaining those 5kg again...

Thank you so much for the answers. I think if I read this that I'm eating way to less. I rarely go over 800 kcal, even on days when I walk over 10km and have to work (I'm a nurse so my job I pretty active). I'm just so scared of gaining. But reading these is very reassuring. I'm gonna set my protein 40% (100g) and the rest at 30% just get an idea of what I'm eating Verstuurd vanaf mijn HUAWEI CRR-L09 met Tapatalk

So I had my RNY 6 months ago, lost 47kg so far and I feel great. I still want to loose 20 more kg, but it's starting to get harder to loose the weight. I was adviced to not count calories, just eat healthy and stop when I feel full and that has worked so far. But I have been around the same weight for the last month. So I wanne start tracking my food, just to see if I'm eating enough protein, not to much carbs and so on. I logged in to MFP and want to update the food goals (calories, protein, fat, carbs) and would like to get some advice. I found some guidelines on the internet but they aren't specific for people with weight loss surgery so... So what macros are you guys using?

Not to much loose skin yet, only my arms

So at 4 months post op, found an old pic from work to show progress -35kg SW 333 CW 245 GW165
