Some researchers believe it's not as simple as calories in vs calories out. There are other metabolic/hormonal elements that can affect weight. Type of food & hydration levels also affect weight on the scale. And weight fluctuations can come from a host of factors. But you don't want to lose just any weight... (water loss from dehydration is inferior to fat loss) you want to lose fat. May people suggest getting a scale that measures body fat so you can track that instead of just numerical weight. Good luck💙

Restriction Feeling 2+ years out?
GreenTealael replied to Brent701's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Generally capacity increases over time and eating until full years out may put you at risk for overeating/ excess cal intake. At 18+ months out, my capacity is way different than in the early stages. Also hunger may return. I manage mine by eating healthier low cal sugar free versions of foods whenever possible and salads when I'm ravenous. I only indulge rarely these days instead of everyday. You may have to be very diligent now while you don't have either an increase in capacity or extreme hunger prompts to really nail down making a habit out of portion control, but you can do it! Luckily you have a tool to help you in the initial stages to make the transition easier! The lifestyle change is real for a lot of people to maintain instead of gain. Good Luck 💙 -

What can I take to Sleep ?
GreenTealael replied to Nikkim531's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Also consider routine/behavior changes : Long novels, Audible (meditation books, boring books or monotone actors) youtube playlists of sleep sounds & white noise, a device free bedroom Good Luck! 💖 -

The type of carb matters when looking at the label (fiber, added sugar, sugar alcohols, etc.) 5g was my teams rec to stay under for sugar alone

6\11: Have a good cry... Nope

Don't stress, its probably mostly water retention. I can gain 3 lbs overnight for no reason, then it goes away a few days later and I've changed literally nothing!

Getting married 4 months post op....
GreenTealael replied to amaynard's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
⬆⬆ Agreed ⬆⬆ Also try being super flexible about the dress particulars. If you find one you absolutely love & fits extremely well... ask if they carry the next two sizes around it (up and down) and can hold those for you as well just in case. Its going to be very hard to estimate where you'll be (weight wise) by that time. -

I no clue but I'll ride it until the wheels fall off 😥 MAYBE its because i actually dont eat it frequently... I pan fry things maybe once a month and barely eat any of it. -
6/10: What do i want to be remembered by? Maybe just by family. I never aspired to celebrity but the family can make you feel like a superstar 🌟
