April 2019 marks 13 yrs since Roux-N-Y laparoscopic procedure. Peak weight: 305 lbs. I maintain between 155-160. I have, & will continue annual follow-ups. Not only medically necessary, but makes me accountable. My bypass continues to work for me: I listen to what it's "telling me" when I have those moments. You know..the voice in your head that leads you to haunt the refrigerator or cabinets; buy foods that you know could trigger cravings or worse (binge). Surgery can't eliminate the disease of obesity....which lives in my head. Your's too, if you're reading this. I take action when I begin to see numbers trending up on the scale. (I don't wait til it's 20/40/50 or more lbs). Besides, I'm uncomfortable...along w gain comes bloat, discomfort, snug waist band, increased cravings. After a few yrs, trying different "maintenance" approaches, Jenny Craig works for me...I feel better when weight is a pound or 2 on either side of 155. For me, I persist w weekley wrigh ins....keeps me honest. I've been as low as 145, but it's a struggle. And I don't want that struggle. I just want to be comfortable in my skin. I'm challenged with anemia (intolerant of oral iron) & insufficient protein intake. So, I do what I can to improve those values. I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for this. And so far, my bypass &, I pretty much listen to each other.

You’re doing great! You don’t need hot dogs or Mountain Dew. You will absolutely feel SO SICK if you do

I had my surgery two years ago - if anyone has had surgery a year or two ago can you tell me how much you are eating? I am confused as to how much I should be eating this far out of surgery. I am interested to know in measurements how much food I should have at one meal. Thank you.

Your surgeon's office should have that information for you.

I was sleeved over 4 years ago. I was never nauseous & have never thrown up. I do, however, understand your anxiety. Keep breathing. You're going to get through this. Winston Churchill said, "If you're going through hell, keep going." Good luck! You are not alone!

Are you eating things that are sugar-free? Are you taking any meds that would cause it? I didn't have that.

YES! I broke mine much the same way AND increased my water intake. Good for you!

I had surgery the same day. I've been eating protein shakes, sf jello, sf popsicles, sf pudding and water. I havent had a BM since March 9th. I dont feel like I have go go at all. So I'm the exact opposite as you. I'm sorry to hear you are having these troubles. I currently don't have very many positive things to say about this surgery.

I had my sleeve surgery in 2013. Eating anything is a problem to this day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
