It does sound like the carb monster! Slider food can also be an issue. My doc goes with 2 roughly tablespoons of textured Protein, followed by 1-2 tablespoons of vegetables, so you're feeling satisfied and it's slow to go down. Are you keeping a food diary and tracking calories? That might help you figure out what the issue is.

I don't know about you, but it's so cold here that I'm having trouble getting out and getting moving! I know that will help me with my goals.

Good luck-- you'll figure this out!

Suggest u keep track of foods u eat (I love myfitnesspal and it is free). I am 8 weeks out and ...my goal is 800 calories per day and 65-70'grams off Protein.per day. I do eat fruit with my Protein shakes..sometimes bran cereals with milk, veggies, very little rice, 1/2 slice of 40 calorie bread, I try to eat my Protein first. And many times I cannot anything else on my plate cause I am completely satisfied.

Exercise has really helped me with a stall I was having for two weeks. I Do cardio for 30 minutes at a medium strenuous pace..the I do machines for my upper /lower body.

Get back to basic and u should start losing again. Also r u eating very salty food. ..part of your weight gain maybe be salt retention.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
