Wow people need to chill! Sorry I said very thin. Not going on this site again.

Try to normalize your eating and practice the rules...3 meals 2 snacks protein at every meal. If you can't just have once piece of cake then don't have any. I sorta wish I had stayed off sugar for the first year or even longer. Once you start having it regularly it's easy to start grazing all day and slowing down your weight loss.

I'm not sure when your mind adjusts it happens slowly and then one day normally after 2 years you'll look at an older picture of yourself and think that doesn't even look like me. But there is a part of you that will always remember being the ignored fat girl but that's good it gives us a depth to our character. You must be very thin at 130 just make sure you're taking your vitamins and have enough protein to help you heal and not get a deficiency.

Yes I can't eat Chinese food! Too much MSG...I can eat it but very little cause I get full quickly. Not worth the money.

I try and limit my sugar but more for health then weight loss. I still have a treat 1 or 2 a week. I'm 2 and 1/2 years post op it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I eat clean most of the time but I think it's good to try and learn balance and not go to extremes with dieting.

Yeah it's a bit soon after surgery to be biking!! Start with walking. You just had major surgery 12 weeks before exercise other then walking....start slowly. It took me about 8 weeks to get up to an hour walk. A walk to that I did easily pre-surgery. But your body is healing and you're still have affects of the anesthesia.

Protein is super important after surgery to help with healing and keeping your metabolism active - 60 grams a day

I was the same way I wasn't able to eat sufficient protein till over 1 year...stuck to protein shakes. I can eat everything now but I fill up quickly on protein.

I eat what I want - 3 meals 1 or 2 snacks and try and stick to clean eating. I don't count calories or record my eating.

Had RNY hunger started back around 9 months post op. But at over 2 years post op I can eat very little my pouch fills up quickly.

I was never able to drink the water either until 1 year post op. But I kept up with protein shakes on ice.

No I've never counts carbs post op.

It's not the gerd that stopped the surgery it is the smoking. When you smoke it slows down healing. Keep on your journey to a healthier you and hopefully your partner will quit smoking and be able to qualify in 6 months. Don't sacrifice your health for anyone. Life is a gift and you need to embrace it.

Yeah you're at the phase now where you need to develop a healthy lifestyle. Your body can tolerate most foods. You can keep the weight off just keep making healthy choices with the occasional treat. You've got this!

I think your eating is very healthy. You're a young man your metabolism is going to be quick. It looks good! Congratulations on your success!
