InvisibleEnvelope got a reaction from summerseeker in Starting over post 2 yearsHi all.
To address this collectively: I have been to *tons* of doctors over the last four years trying to figure this out, as it started even before my weight loss surgery. The short version is that they haven't found anything. At some point, you have to live your life instead of living in a doctor's office.
I get my labs taken every few months: my vitamin levels are perfect, blood count is great, etc.
I know this is an unpopular opinion in the chronic illness/grey area community, but I truly think the majority of my issues are coming from anxiety. It's created an intense hypersensitivity/vagal response for everything I do, so what I'm trying to do is control the things I can through diet and common sense.
So here I am trying to get macros and lifestyle advice two years later. Time to give it a whirl.

First time poster!
Looking to start over, basically. I had weight loss surgery almost two years ago, lost all the weight, and have kept it off. However, it hasn't been for discipline, as my diet is fairly relaxed (too much) and I'm still struggling with dumping syndrome. I don't have a lot of information for the healed/maintenance phase. I've had a couple of requested appointments with my surgeon's office but the nutritionist is...not the best.
So! For those who were given this info or are this far out:
What should my macros be this far out?
Calories per day? Portions?
Any hardcore rules to still follow?
Any tips to get rid of dumping syndrome?
Let's start there. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks all and hope everyone is doing well on their plans!
