    I am 5 years out. I was down to 142 from 245 and now at 169. I am wanting to get down to 150 I exercise 2-3 x weekly and still weigh and measure my foods. Does anyone have any suggestions? I still measure 1 cup and 2 oz of protein is included in that. I stay away from pasta as it doesnt agree with me. I can tolerate small amounts of rice. I stay away from breads as they tend to fill me up and not let me eat much of anything else.

      Hi. I'm like you: Now 5.5 yrs post-op and I've gained ~ 25 pounds. I am so bummed and am really having a hard time getting back to protein only, or succeeding at the liquid restart. Grr. Ghrelin--that ugly warrior. I've even thought about getting a revision/re-do, but I'll see how I do July-August. Even if I stay away from the white carbs, I find myself eating fast and grazing often. Maybe try to avoid the rice, even; the starch/carbs. Let's keep in touch; helpers one to another at this stage. Good luck to you!! Pray for me! :-)

      Congratulations. I remember that day for me: May 13, 2014. I thought it'd never happen (especially after a 7-day stall at 200.2!!), but it was a "Hallelujah" day! Now...stay on program so you can stay in Onederland. After five years, especially...when ghrelin returns. So stay on track.

      CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Onederland is a GREAT place to be.

    Hi, everybody! I am still alive and at goal. My weak wrists have somewhat curtailed my strenuous exercise but I am still in reasonable shape for a guy pushing 66. Missing you guys.

    Only now that I decide to get WLS does my Husband declare his LOVE for BBW's by liking every Plus Size FB page. He knows I can see them, I feel like he's dropping hints..WTF..

      He may be scared (for you, medically). He may scared (for him, socially--afraid you'll get 'hot' and 'fine,' and other men will find you sexy, attractive, etc.) But your BMI is very high/unhealthy, and you have to do what you must for you, him and your kid.

      That's what I said when, at a hotel, I ate some of their delicious chocolate chip cookies.LOL. But instead of eating 6, I only ate one (in the day), a little at a time. Thank you, VSG.

    NUT thanks I should be on Metformin to help me lose pre-surgery weight. Wth?

    1. Dr-Patient

      Dr-Patient

      Early last yr, I took Metformin before I even thought about WLS. I dropped from 271.2 to ~ 256 just with that. It does help (or, usually does for) most people. but follow your Dr's orders.

    Down almost 40lbs and NONE of my friends commented during today's outing. :(

      If they've been seeing you regularly, they may not see it at first. But don't worry; they will! Because of the storms, snow, etc, I've been bundled up and actually don't want my neighbors/friends to see me until spring. Then I should blow their minds. Two weeks after surgery, I'd lost 17, and went to a party. Folks said I look good, but I don't think they really saw a change then. But they will. Like you, everyone will see it. Whoo-hoo! Congrats on 40#; I ho...
