In August 2011, I weighed 167

In October 2011, I weighted 157

On my year anniversary, March 3, 2012, I weighed 156

Today, April 20, 2012, I weigh 155

I continue to eat the same amout of food, have increased my exercise to

no less than 3 days a week ( I walk and jog on the treadmill, no less than 30minutes),

yet, I feel my apetite is slowly returning and I am having difficulty loosing weight.

WHAT am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions/ advise?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I am 5'2, highest weight was 232.

age: 49

Surgery weight was 217.

I journal my food intake and notice sometimes I get cravings for sweets or salt, I have also been attending Weight Watchers meetings since 3 months in, have been exerciseing 6 months in, usually meet my 62gms of protien daily, regareding Fluid intake, I don't always drink fluids on a daily basis, probably 8-12 daily, I've notice my appetitie is returning, I can now eat a full hamburger patty instead of half....I try to be mindful when eating, pausing, putting my spoon or fork down between bites. I am keeping to 4 meals a day with an afternoon snack (fruits or a drink). The appetite returning scares me and I try to increase my exercise or distractability, fluid intake and re-read my journal....I think I covered most of it.

I believe we would need more information about your eating habits. How much Protein, how many carbs, calories, Fluid intake, supplements, etc? Do you journal your intake? What does your doctor say?

We'd love to help and offer suggestions, but more info is needed!

Good luck on your journey.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
