    9 months and down 61lbs.

    Sometimes it gets frustrating, I have been struggling to lose the last 10 lbs for over the last 6 months. Then I just had my gallbladder removed and gained 5 lbs on fluid and gas, but I am happy to keep off the 140 lbs I have lost. So look at all the positive changes you have made and even if it...

    Feeling like an outsider

    It is a challenge. I'm ten lbs from goal. When at gatherings at church I do just a couple of bites. I weigh every day so it helps me keep on track. Maintenance is just as hard or harder than losing the weight. Lol knowing that I can have a small treat actually keeps me sane and then I don't...

    newbie

    Make sure you always eat protein first. You also can write down every thing you eat and track the calorie just to see what your really eating. That has helped me. Night also is my worse time.

    No weight loss

    Too low calorie will keep you from losing weight also. My doctor has me on to eat 1000 to 1200 calorie a day. I am ten pounds from my goal weight I am a year post op on 5-2-18.

    Scared

    That's a normal. I'm am almost a year out on May 2, 2017 was my rny gastric bypass. I was 227 am now at 138 lbs. It's best decision I made for myself. It's not easy and learning a whole new way of life but the health benefits are worth it all.

    4 weeks out from BPD

    I'm nine months post op. I still have trouble with meat I can eat about 2 and no more than 2.5 ounces at a time. So I still have one protein shake a day. But I'm very happy I'm only 6 lbs from reaching my goal weight. So to me it's all worth it.

    Slowing things down...

    I had the same issue it gets better over time m seven months post op now I have to watch that I don't eat the wrong things or to much. Even though can only eat a small amount I can overeat if I eat all day long. So I weigh every day to keep myself in check. I'm only eleven pounds from goal weight.

    I know what you mean. I have had just a few. But I weigh myself every day which has helped keep me in check. I have maintained my weight. I only have to lose eleven more to my goal weight. Now I'm back on track for the new year.
