Jan 2023 MGB Surgery.

calamity72 · June 6, 2023

Hi, I had surgery (Mini Gastric Bypass) in Jan 2023 and I am losing weight. Total weight loss is 50lb (in 23 weeks) . However most of this was lost in the early month and I have slowed to approximately 1lb per week, if that. The slower weight loss is fine, I can cope with this because its going in the right direction.

What has be very anxious is that i find that I feel like i have no restriction and can eat anything. To maintain the weight-loss I need to tell myself not to eat. I am fighting with the 1lb weight loss each week to make sure its a deficit, terrified that it will go up. I don't feel like i have a tool.

Are there any other MGB patients that can eat anything - bread, rice, chocolate, Cereal, potatoes. I do suffer nausea if I don't eat sufficient Protein but i am so worried that i have gone through surgery and i will spend the rest of my life 'dieting' with little help from my tool.

Anyone else in the same position?

Thanks

I had MGB 30March and yes, I can eat everything, mostly don’t feel dumping and I have lost only 13 kilograms. My BMI was 35,5.
Sad is that I get hungry over 2 hours what means I am eating too often

Hello there! I had my MGB on the 13th of May. I’ve lost 46 lbs since then but my weight has been stalling since two weeks now. I also feel like I can eat what ever I want without feeling sick or feeling full. Do you guys count calories? My nutritionist says I should not but when I read other threads I see people eating max 800-1200 calories….i am thinking maybe I need to do the same in order to continue to loose weight….

I count calories and it's worked great for me! I just do it on an excel sheet with grams and calories (old school but the easiest way I've found)

Hi there! I have had surgery mid September last year and from a prop weight of 213lbs I have become 138lbs (as of this morning). I don't have any restrictions either and my weight loss has plateaued now. I get quite hungry often too and have had multiple stalls. Please trust the process and wait it out. You'll be fine

I've not had any dumping either and have felt nauseous only a handful of times.

May I ask how many calories you intake in a Day ?
