Congrats on your success!
The next step that might be helpful is find/visit a new Bariatric team to start a plan (Nutrition, Dietician, therapy, support groups, etc)
Also tracking food again seems to be crucial for gaining control, are you using Myfitnesspal?
Another resource is the VET threads since that's technically what you are so there will be discussions better suited to your needs there and people who can help you through
Safe Journey again!

Thank you! Unfortunately, due to my insurance, I can't see a bariatric surgeon because they don't take it at all and the only surgeons that are here in my neck of the woods are in the next town over.

I can, however, see a nutritionist. I am in therapy but I never really talk about my surgery, I will start doing that.

I didn't think to track food, it is a good idea. Does my fitness pal have premium?

Also, I'll post in the VET form.

I noticed that after my surgery, certain foods like pork and beef don't taste good or at least the same. Non sweet juices and flavored water is all I can drink because other things like Powerade zero taste like hell and the propell Water just taste bad.

I think it's totally normal! I don't really enjoy checking myself out as much as I did but I used to all the time! You look fantastic!

Hi everyone,

My name is Meridian and I had my surgery almost four years ago. I started at 385, got down to 311 and now I am stuck in the 250s to the 260s. I had my surgery in Omaha, NE and ended up moving to Florida only a month after my surgery. Well, I had a lot of complications (like bleeding, dehydration, etc). I also was an idiot because I was so young and thought I could do this surgery my way. I am now 24 and I am trying to get back on track and finish losing the next 100 pounds. I started drinking Protein Shakes again, walking more (I even got a job where I move around a lot) and I stopped using straws. I already lost 2.8 lbs and hopefully I will lose more. So I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for getting back on track? Maybe there is something more I can do?
