Hey every one! I had my gastric bypass Aug 2011..I was 265 and I am now 161...my smallest weight post op was 145. Best decision I made in my life. But I want to warn the newbies that its not easy! At first it is because your not hungry or you dont eat much but as time passes you start to taste this and that and before you know it you are binging on everything you shouldn't have and dumping syndrome has become something you are willing to have just for one piece of that delicious cake!

Needless to say I am terrified of gaining my weight back but I have no self control so I need support and also motivation to exercise. I don't have much excess skin but I need to tone and tighten. If you have any questions just ask. Ive seen the good the bad and the ugly! ♡♥♡

Welcome bing...glad to have you!

Welcome to the group congrats on the weight lost. So in other words after 1 year I will regain again? Did you sorta hate food then began to love it & the weight came on. I don't want to be fat ever again.

Every one is different...i guess it depends on your self control. Yes I hated food at first and I completely avoided junk food...but family started to say I was getting too small and it madee eat more and eventually id taste a piece of donut here and there and now recently ive bern binging on junk. I feel helpless I habe np self control and I have gained ten lbs. Im trying to practice self control and get to my goal weight of 140. So you just stay away from old habits and stay in control. However, my doc said that research does suggest that rny patients do gain 10-20 lbs back eventually. I don't ever want to be big again either.
