    Is it wrong or ok

    I need to figure out how to change my profile info so that it doesn’t say pre op anymore

    Is it wrong or ok

    I’m 3 years out from my surgery. I’ve maintained my goal and been the same weight (within 5 pounds) for the last 2 years. my husband used to sleep eat. When he quit drinking, he stopped sleep eating too. I’m not saying this is the case with you.

    Is it wrong or ok

    There are days that I am actually HUNGRY and will eat more carbs than I usually would, but they are few and far between. So, I would say that it is ok. It is ok as long as it doesn’t become a daily trend. You have to listen to your body. My doctor has always stressed to stop eating when I am full. I think about this on the days when I am hungry: but, most days it’s not an issue. I am 3 years out and really good and picking my portion sizes.
  4. HW - 237 LW - 137 (this was also my goal weight) CW - 155 I hit my goal weight 8 months after surgery (November 2019) but, by about 13 months out I was up to 150 pounds, and have been maintaining my weight in the 150’s ever since. I have maintained my weight here for two years and am comfortable, but still long to lose the 20 pounds I regained, and STILL fear gaining back all of the weight.

    Pounds lost

    I’m reading many of these posts today. This was a major issue for me the first two months after my surgery. It’s important to realize everyone is different. I only lost 10 pounds my first month after surgery! I’m 4 months out now. I’ve lost 60 pounds.

    Pounds lost

    I have been losing very slowly. My highest weight was 237, I was 226 on the day of surgery. I’m 11 weeks out and have only lost 37 pounds. I’ve lost 48 pounds of you include the weight I lost during the liquid diet before surgery. It’s says somewhere online that you will lose 5-15 pounds/week, but that isn’t always that case. Hang in there.

    March Bypass Buddies

    I was 237 the day before my liquid diet, 226 on surgery day (3/26/19) and I’m 202 today. I had the bypass. 24 pounds lost in 6 weeks and 2 days. So, I guess I am losing a half a pound each day.

    I’m having trouble with water too. I’m also having major trouble with protein. The only thing I’m actually good at is vitamins. I hope this gets easier.
