This is a lifestyle change. You will be eating high protein, low carbs & low fat the rest of your life. You will only keep this weight off if you continue to eat this way. It is not a magic pill but a tool to lose weight.

It can be a stall if you are getting the right amount of protein & water but not too many carbs plus the right amount of exercising. I am at just over 1 year & have been still losing & still having stalls. But I do log what I am eating & trying to stay under a 1000 calories.

I am just over a year out & have been still losing a small amount each month. I think our bodies will stop when it is ready to stop. I just keep doing what I have been doing from the beginning. It is slow & steady. I also have seen other people who are still losing after the one year mark.

Hello & welcome. This site will help you. I wish I had used this site before surgery. There is a wealth of information to help you on your journey. Just ask & people will help you. The journey is hard but well worth it.

I have no idea what causes it, but I went from cold to freezing all the time. My fat never kept me warm before the RNY surgery & the weight loss doesn't help. I've talked to several people that had WLS years ago & they still are cold. So I don't know if there is much hope of feeling warmer. I just bring a sweater or coat with me.

I walk 45 minutes a day. I know that I didn't exercise that much before. I feel so much better & plan to do for the rest of my life.

Good that you found a surgeon that answered your questions & July is in just 2 months. You will be glad that you are taking charge of your life.

I heard that acid reflux is bad with the sleeve, just like the lap band. I had GERD for over 22 years prior to RNY. I have not had any acid reflux since surgery 9/2016.

I have been having a burning mouth when I brush my teeth. My dentist is sending me to a specialist. I have rashes in mouth, like it is burnt. I am low on vitamin A. I have had for about one month. I am almost 5 months post op. I have had this before surgery when I ate too much of something.

I had nights of fear before my RNY. I had so much trouble sleeping because I just didn't know the unknown. I am so glad that I did it for my health. I just had to make myself do it.

Before my surgery I liked the vanilla & strawberry Premier Protein shakes, so I bought a bunch of it for after surgery. After my surgery, I couldn't stand the taste. So I had to returned it. I like flavorless GENEPRO & I add it to SF hot coco or herbal tea.

I am 14 weeks post op & having the same problem. Hair is coming out in clumps. I am also taking my vitamins plus biotin. Hopefully it gets better.

We are to stay away from eating sugar. No more than 2 to 3 grams per serving.

I liked all the Premier Protein shakes before surgery, but after surgery I can't stand the taste either. I use GENEPRO unflavored Protein Powder. It has 30 grams of protein. I like to mix with SF hot coco, herbal tea or broth.

I am just past 3 months post op & my hair is coming out in clumps. Hopefully this gets better.
