Lapband removed and bypass on 3/6/13. HW 265, date of surgery weight 230, weight today 190.5. I'm 34 and 5'6". Things r going well. Except I seem to b slipping back into old sugary eating habits. It scares me. And I can eat more than I should b able to. Still super happy I had the surgery.

U look so pretty! I can't believe u've lost so much.im 3 months out and only down 40lbs. What is ur day of food like? How much protein?

Just say wow it's really sad for them that they could t make a lifestyle change. Every surgery is individual.

I was exactly like u. Just be patient. Stick to what u r supposed to do. Ur body is freaking out right now. Breath. It's ok :-)

I'm a lot like u girl. I'm 7 weeks out Wednesday. I lost 24 lbs the first 2 weeks and only about 5 in the last 7. It's extremely frustrating. How many cals a day can u eat? I can eat 1200 and b perfectly happy.

I'm with u. I'm 7 weeks out. I've been doing pretty good. 3 weeks ago no weight loss 2 weeks ago 1.5 lbs, this week I gained, that's right, gained 2 lbs!!!! I do everything I'm supposed to. I'm very discouraged. I hope we get better soon:-)

Maybe u just caught a virus. It happened to me. Im so glad ur better.

I had my band removed, it had attached itself to my liver and I couldn't eat. Yes, I'm hungry a lot. Like I said every week it gets worse. I know what ur saying bc the first 3 weeks I wasn't hungry. The more I do the hungrier I get. I just went to the doc. He says its fine. Everybody is different. I don't get dumping w sugar either.

I wish I had ur appetite. M so jealous. I really have to track my cals. I cap it at 1200 a day bc that's what my doc says. And I'm good with that. I'm 7 weeks out and every week I get hungrier. Actual hunger. I get in 60 to 100 g of Protein, I measure, I eat so slowly and chew the sit out stuff. And 2 hrs later I really am hungry again. I just want to b like u!!! I'm so scared its not gonna work. Congrats. I'm really happy for u tho. U look and sound like u r doing amazing. Any tips would b much appreciated. :-). Ali

Ur amazing! How many cals a day do u think u eat?

Yes soccer, u r right... I'm just scared. I do not want to gain weight or not lose. Ya know? Thanks for putting it in perspective. :-)

U guys aren't alone. I feel the same u do.

Chobani has 14g of protein and its fab!

I'm fine with sugars too. But grease or fat watch out. It's awful.

I was 6 weeks out yesterday too. I'm down 28lbs since surgery and the scale will not go down past 202. I hate being stuck here. And I feel like I can eat more than ever. Do u guys feel that way now? My doc says I'm doing great but I'm worried I can eat up to 1200 cals a day.

I feel that way everyday. I'm 6 weeks out. Doc said give it another couple weeks. Plus I'm really anemic and can't sleep. How far out r u?

Very well may b ur gallbladder. Do u still have it?

I'll have to look into the buffalo! I ate at chili's tonight. I had shrimp and grilled chicken and some black beans. My mom goes "is that all ur gonna eat"! It's the first time we'd been out to eat since my surgery. I said yeah mom, it's like 5 more meals for me! Isn't that great!

Marla-have u talked to ur doc about this? I really wonder what they say. I would b in so much pain if I ate that much at one time. I'm supposed to cut my food up in eraser size pieces and take 20 minutes to eat. And only 2 to 4 oz. then if I'm still hungry to proceed. Have u tried doing that? Maybe he didn't do the RNY?!?

Looks awesome. I hope I can find some. And it tasted really good?

Thanks for the advice ladies. Yesterday I really listened to my body. I was actually really really hungry. I got in just under 1100 cals and 70 grams of protein. I wish I was like u guys who r not hungry. Up until 4.5 weeks out I was like that. Now at almost 6 weeks out it just keeps getting to where I'm more and more hungry. I do have a munching prob at night being that I'm 2 yrs out from not smoking. I'm just scared that its going to keep getting worse.

I'm just wondering if other band to bypasses feel like they can eat more than they should? I'm eating 1000 cals a day and sometimes I want more. Do any of u guys feel like that? I'm only 5 weeks out.
