Been a while since I’ve posted a before and after pic. Surgery weight was 271, current weight is 144lbs. I think I’m done losing now (bypass was 3/2/2020). My weight fluctuates between 142 and 145

Ok so the meds may need to be adjusted, get with your dr. Our bodies absorb medicine differently after the surgery. As for the energy? I had 0 energy for months post op. My nutritionist kept telling me to eat carbs, but my brain was saying “no Skye, carbs bad. Carbs why you are fat”. So I ignored her. It wasn’t until I started consuming carbs finally (healthy carbs of course like fruit) that i finally started getting my energy. I’m not saying to eat carbs because you are only 2 weeks out. Not a good thing for you yet. But what I am saying is that it will get better. Don’t worry. Sometimes it may seem like it’s getting worse before it gets better, but it will get better

Ok so are you maintaining or gaining right now? I’ve surpassed my personal goal weight (well my original one. I’d altered it once I passed it lol). I do tend to graze at work (it’s a fairly rigorous job so I burn a lot of calories and end up needing Snacks to help keep my energy up), but I make sure it’s healthy stuff. I actually just discovered Wilde chicken chips and use those to munch on throughout the day. Low carb, low calorie and it tends to last my shift (just 20 chips), because it’s made with chicken instead of potato so the Protein helps. I think what you need to do is before you start snacking stop and think “do I need this? Or do I want this?” If it’s a want, work on the will power to put the snack away. Find something to distract you or drink (I hear that helps sometimes when we want food).

Honestly it does sound like you are. There is also a difference between having cancer and losing weight. Huge difference. There’s a strong stigma around bariatric surgery so yeah, of course people will lie. I only told a few close people. To everyone else I started eating healthy and **** because I don’t want to deal with the negative attitude. If I meet someone who tells me they are considering the surgery. I will talk to them about it. But otherwise it’s really no one’s business

I take PatchAid vitamin patches from the bariatricpal website because the chewables and melts were making me throw up

Don’t worry it’s just one bite. But try to stick to the program! I know it’s hard sometimes, but it’s important. I was lucky. For the first couple of weeks after surgery just the smell of food made me want to throw up. Every time my boyfriend would cook his dinner I’d have to close the bedroom door.

I ended up having an extended psych evaluation because my primary psych dr kept changing my meds and they wanted me stable with my meds before signing off on the surgery lol. I was super nervous, but I made sure I was honest.

Just remember to take it slow. Our bodies absorb alcohol differently now.
