I just made 1 yr post op Mid December and I've lost 90 lbs. Most within the first 6-7 months and and 2-3 lbs a month since then. I seem to be maintaining at 165 which is well below my personal goal of 180 (hit at 6 months).
Starting weight was about 255, 5'6"

I've had a pack probably 5 or 6 times since surgery, no issues but wouldn't make it a habit. it's so so good

How funny, my husband has GAINED weight since my surgery 7 months ago. We was never overweight so its very strange.

I can't recall a situation where someone was bent out of shape over how much I did or didn't eat (waiter or people with me). I probably wouldn't care even if they did. I order as always, eat what I want and take the rest to go IF I think I may want it later.

How many calories a day donyoubeat and eat and how do you control yourself from grazing? Was the impulse control different pre-surgery? Is it that you fill up more easily? How do you handle nervous and night eating (my issue)? How many calories do you consume daily?
sorry for all the questions. I’m just nervous about doing this if I’m just going to screw it up!
I eat 700 calories a day
control grazing by 3 planned meals and a snack if needed (meal prep) so I don't have to just grab anything
I do fill up faster than before and the impulse is much easier now. I find myself eating because I have to, not because I crave something. On the few occasions I did crave something I just took a small bite and was satisfied.
If I have night cravings I eat a SF fudgepop or SF Popsicle. Drink lots of Water

Totally agree with @Creekimp13. You won't want the same foods after surgery. I cringe at the site of anything sweet.

4 minutes ago, BostonWLKC said:Great to hear all! I think I hit a stall or something—- or def possible that I’m overreacting . I haven’t moved the scale since Friday. I started more exercise yesterday and upped the protein/ calories to 700 so hopefully that helps?? First stall for me.
@Lilly... not sure other than only eating Protein even though cleared for all foods. I heard advice to stay at this stage for as long as possible bc you can’t go back once you start with carbs and sugars etc?? Don’t know- making it up as I go along . Haha

5’6”We seem to be on the same path calorie wise and adding those 100 extra calories did the trick for me, down yet another pound today! I do eat carbs daily but no sugar.

Hi, doing great! Congrats on reaching wonderland. My weight actually stalled since we last updated on this post but I have increased my calories to about 700 and I weighed myself yesterday and I'm down 2 lbs so hopefully it will continue.
Thanks for checking!!!

I will follow you both since we are so close in surgery dates to see how you’re doing.

2 hours ago, BostonWLKC said:I am about 7/8 weeks out and I am eating about 4 ounces per meal - within about 30 min
Total calories are around 500- 600 for the day
Does that sound about right? I want to maximize my weight loss during his time and I’ve not added anything other than Proteins yet

Agreed! I haven't exercised a single day since my surgery. I am however ready to start so I can maintain.
