Envious of your traveling adventures.

Getting back into the weight loss mojo can be done. Cheering you on!

Inspiring! Congratulations on reaching your dec 31st goals. January goals and smaller sizes to come.

Weight regain can happen with any type of surgery. Behavior change and the choices you make will be a factor in your outcome. There are many sleevers that have kept the weight off long term.

I'm four years out. I am a distance runner. I lift and train like a beast. Did you ever think you would have to work at eating more calories in your life? *smile* Transitioning in to maintenance mode take some adjusting. I used a TDEE calculator similar to yours. It says maintaining for me is 2166 calories. Honestly, I gain weight at the macros it suggests. I can burn 700 to 1000 calories on long run days. My diet changes to support my activity. https://tdeecalculator.net TDEE did not work for me. It may work for you. Your calories and macros will look different than mine. (age sex height weight activity is a factor) I had to change up the numbers from the TDEE to find what works for my body. Hate to say this but it has been a lot of trial and error. All instructions from dietician are different Below is my instructions Add low glycemic carbs Sweet potato, whole wheat bread/pasta and brown rice. If you are looking to get more calories in, eat small meals often. Eat as often as you need you need to get the calories in and stay within your calories/macros. Maintaining is a new mindset. It's no longer 3 meals two small snacks. Grazing has always been mentioned as a bariatric no no. Think of this as a maintaining health graze - several meals to hit your maintaining calories and macros. Wishing you the best, Jenn

Yep, The holidays were brutal for me this year. Join us on the January weight loss challenge..Link below https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/421742-❤-january-2019-challenge-❤/?page=5&tab=comments#comment-4731861

Excited for you. Congrats.

Glad you found what you love to do. Get out and kill it in 2019!!!!!!

Try both methods and decide what works best for you. Log and dont go over your calories/macro to stay in weight loss mode. I'm a sleeve. I eat a small meal every 3 hours. I weigh food on a scale

Yes, this is normal. You still have great surgery restriction. Getting your food in may seem like a chore. The restriction will be less as you get further out from surgery. hang in there and trust the process.

2018's goals Pushing through struggles is where major change in my life happen. Looking back at 2018 I'm grateful for the pain. There is magic in the misery January 3 - 140 pounds.

You can't hide rapid weight loss. You don't owe anyone an explanation. Disclose what you want

@GreenTealael created the January 2019 weight loss challenge. Hope to see you there https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/421742-❤-january-2019-challenge-❤/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-4731341

It's a new year. This is a perfect time to recommit to your plan. A great place to start is joining the January 2019 weight loss challenge. Thanks @GreenTealael for creating it. https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/421742-❤-january-2019-challenge-❤/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-4731341 I had my first gain in my third year. I got complacent with my diet. (Extra calories, carbs and old habits) I went back to basics and worked back to my maintaining weight. Four years out and I have gained during the holidays. I am back in weight loss mode working it down. It's slow but I'll take it.

How many meals do you have a day? Are you maintaining eating this much. I’m trying to maintain however can’t seem to eat the required calories I'm not sure what your maintaining instructions are. My dietician had me add low glycemic carbs to slow/stop my weight loss. I eat several small meals through the day to hit my calorie and macro goals.

All I can give you is my experience at 7 months out - weight loss mode 900 to 1000 calories - protein 60-100 - low carb. (My maintaining calories and macros are different) If you are concerned if you are not eating enough calories contact your dietician. If your workouts are above the average fitness level. You will need to fuel your body differently. Contact your dietician. If you are going into maintaining phase contact your dietician for instructions.

The goal is healthy. Consult your dietician to make sure you are eating enough calories, protein, carbohydrates and fats. Your diet instructions may look different for maintaining your weight. You are paying for the dietician. Get your money's worth.

Hope other members have better advice than mine. Trying something new may get the scale to move.. Some change diet plans to keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, vegan etc... It's easy to go off track a bit. I had to clean up my diet and find my discipline. I went back to basics. logging food, exercise and hydrating. I played with my calories and macros to find where my body loses weight again. Wishing you the best in finding what works, Jenn

I agree with @James Marusek Has your mother talked with her surgeon? Vomiting after meals is not typical. This may be a medical issue. I had sleeve surgery four years ago. I have never vomited after surgery. I can tolerate all foods. including sugar (no dumping syndrome) This means I have to choose my food wisely or I will gain weight. I prefer and enjoy eating healthy food.

You don't owe anyone an answer to things that are private. Her anger is her issue. Share what you want with who you want.

I was less than happy that my hubby snapped the recovery room photo above.?. But now...I'm glad I have it. I don't have many pre op photos.
