100 pounds is a massive loss!! I will be six months on 27th and I’ve lost 70 lbs. I’ve started to get hungry now so I think that hormone has returned. I had so much dumping and sensitivity at the beginning but now I can eat anything! Found the holidays difficult as so much temptation and tried chocolate for the first time since surgery and had the worst dumping ever. I’ve looked at doing the reset diet for a few days to see if the helps?
Highest weight 303 lbs
Surgery weight 275 lbs
Current weight 203lbs

I had surgery 3 days after you, and I am experiencing the horomonal return too and definite hunger. I did ask my surgeons office for the "reset" so that should help too if you are wanting to test your pouch etc. I didn't really eat anything out of the norm myself during the holidays, probably ate a little more than I should have though LOL!

I had mine on July 10th. I have stalled for 2 months. I also can eat anything now. Scares me. What is a reset and how do I do it?

Its basically where you do the same motions as you did right after sugergy with phase 1-4/5 depending on your surgeons "aftercare" guidelines. I would contact your office and ask if they have one. Mine did, funny enough because I thought it was just some rumor from the rumor mill with WLS patients, not so :)

You all have lost more than I have, you’re doing awesome! I had surgery on July 23rd, I started at 226 and now I’m 173. I’m hoping to get down to 150.

Considering your relatively low starting weight, you are doing very well! Keep it up, you're almost at goal!

You have to consider the weight that you start at but you are doing awesome. Keep it up. Some of us have more to lose so it looks like we may have lost a lot more than you have.

Thanks ladies! Slow and steady, I’ll get there. I had my 6 month check up, I’m at 166. My surgeons “goal weight” for me is 140 (I’ll be happy at 150 but don’t mind going lower) that will put my BMI at 25. I cant wait to finally have a summer that I’m not miserable!

Hey y’all I know it’s been a while. I had my surgery 7/27/18 heaviest 310, SW 280, CW 212 m, GW 160/170....pants size varies on style from 10-14.... I’m still pushing... I’ve had a few bouts with Constipation but I’m getting better with stool softer n Probiotics which helps on top of lots of water.... I don’t go over 30 carbs per meal n 20 carbs per Snacks. I don’t eat bread, Rice, Pasta, potatoes, no pop, once n blue moon when Period hits I crave chocolate but I sub with Sugar Free Chocolate pudding. It feels good to lose n see the progress n pictures. I’m trying to get into journaling Period not just about food.

Wow wow wow. You look WONDERFUL and VIBRANT! You were gorgeous before as well, but you’re so full of life and look so much younger in the “after” picture. You’re my inspiration!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
