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?

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. Sent from my SM-S727VL using BariatricPal mobile app

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! Sent from my SM-S727VL using BariatricPal mobile app
