Congratulations on your surgery. I had mine may 30, 2012. I can't eat much. I was told over time your stomach grows or something like that. Have you change the way you eat compare to the first time after surgery when you began to eat normal food? Are you cheating fast food restaurant? Drinking diet or regular soda? Not exercising? I'm not an expert but I was told we get comfortable in our body & start doing the no no stuff & end up gaining weight.

Almost everyone I know that has had the surgery loses a lot (if not too much) and ends up gaining like 20lbs back

I agree. I don't think 20 pounds is a whole lot. Just keep an eye on things so you don't keep gaining.

Thanks everyone for all of your responses I no longer have a dietician I have moved away since I had my surgey. That is why I have been looking for some hel[p with answers. I do think I need to excercise more but I dont have energy because I'm severly anemic. And on top of that I am always hungry. I take the 20lb weight gain serious I have a long life ahead of me and I need to be healty for my family

Hi Kida

I had RNY in July 08 and after about a year and a half I stopped losing... Which was fine because everyone kept telling me I was getting too skinny. But I too have gained back some weight which is around 30lbs. I know it's because I eat a whole lot more and I stopped working out. I know I need to get back on track so thats why I'm so glad I found this forum. Im also am severely anemic. I have to get Iron intravenously every two weeks. Iron pills and supplements don't give me what I need. But I think the key to getting back is to start some kinda of work out regime and get back into planning meals.

Is this level of anemia normal?

I am 8 years post op and have been anemic for 7 of them. I have met many that are not, so I guess it is individual.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
