I am maintaining. I fluctuate between 165 and 169, if I hit 169 I crack down. I don't track anymore, but doing this maintenance food chart daily will be good for me. I don't exercise because of lower back and neck issues. I do however do my physical therapy strengthening for my neck and back. I have settled on a higher weight then most, I am large framed so I am okay with it. This was my high school weight. I am in awe of what you can eat as far as calories. Do you exercise a lot? or were you born with a great metabolism? I find I dump on coffee in the morning, just a half cup makes me sweat and feel weird

Same here and I have read on other boards about the same thing. I am starting to wonder if it has anything to do with swelling of the sleeve. I say this because I recently found out that I have ulcers and they said my sleeve was swollen. This just may be my case and not all who have days of being able to eat more then other days.

I had lots of anxiety and stress that first year. I was also a daily weigher and it was extremally hard not to compare to others, but I stuck to the plan and the weight did come off. Any gains are water weight and some people lose ( like I did) not every week but 1 week out of a month. Try not to get too discouraged and stick to your plan the first year no matter what.

At 7 weeks I was eating around 700 calories a day. Are you keeping track on an app ? What is your protein intake versus carbs ?

I lost 14 lbs the first month, so I would say you are doing excellent.

Don't freak out, I only lost 14lbs the first month and I was considered a heavy weight. I weighed 296 the day of surgery. I lost 131 pounds the first year and have gone on to lose 15 more. It is very disheartening to see others losing 20 + lbs when you are doing the same work, I get it. Try to remember it is not a race and your body will let go of the weight when its ready, just don't go off your plan.

I went and had an EGD this morning after having a pylori test come back negative. I have ulcers and they are upping my Dexilant to 60 mg from the 30mg I take. I also have to go back in 2 weeks for another EGD. My question is what should I avoid and what things can I do to help? I have not seen my Dr. yet but will be making an appointment for next week. Thanks in advacne

They have not prescribed me the Carafate at this time. Will be speaking with or seeing the Dr. Monday. The Dr. that did my EGD upped the Dexilant and that is all. Thank you all for the food suggestions. I will make sure to eat correctly to help my situation.

I tracked the first 16 months and I always would eat all my calories, when I stopped tracking I lost a few more pounds. I was obsessed with tracking and eating but now I eat more normally and try to be mindful. I am a daily weigher so if the scale starts going up I pay attention to what I am doing. I also still weigh and measure when I start to see the scale go up and I spot check myself sometimes just to be safe. None of us ever want to go back to where we came from and for me I need to keep myself in check for life

Smoothies are wonderful to have using that blender.

You are not failing. You are still in the early stages and it takes awhile to get a new normal. Take a deep breath and try to relax. You can always go back to scrambled eggs and greek yogurt. It took me awhile to be able to eat more then a few bites of solids, but it will happen. Things will feel normal again down the road. The reflux sucks and your Dr. may want to give you a different prescription. I was given 3 different kinds before it was the right one . Good luck

Oh , so sorry. That would be more common with RNY and not VSG correct?

Hmmm I also have been having pain on and off on the right side around the rib cage. I have had my gallbladder removed years ago. Guess I will be going back to the Dr. Again ! Hope you find out what it is and start feeling better.

Sorry you are having such a hard time right now. It takes awhile to get your energy back and recover from this surgery. (it took me about a month) I insisted no junk food in the house and if they wanted to eat that stuff do it at work ect, at least in the beginning. I didn't want to see it and I don't see how that is selfish, its not like they cant eat it, just somewhere else until you get on a good track and know what your doing. Try to focus on how much better you are going to feel when the weight starts coming off. The depression will subside . Good luck

You could always tweek it and do a day or 2 of liquids then go to 3 squares meat or seafood and some veggies (no snacking ) and make sure you weigh and measure your portions. Its hard getting off the carbs once you start them. ( I am not talking about rice or potato ) Processed food and junk food can be the worst. Good luck

Sorry I just realized this is RNY page and you may be a dumper, I would not mess with sugar for sure at this stage being and RNY.

I went to a thrift store during weight loss phase.

I do the artichoke and spinach stuffed salmon also and it is wonderful !
