I had my surgery October 15th 2014 and weighed 280 at surgery day. At six months I made my weight goal of 195. I am currently in maintenance mode and it is so much harder as increasing my caloric intake and addition of some good carbs make me anxious on gaining weight. As of today I am down to 189 but am stabilizing. Dr wanted me to go below 195 so that I have a buffer. I noticed it's the addition of some increased Fiber, I feel bloated. Not sure if some of this is in my head but definitely that that feeling.

Has anyone experience this feeling of being bloated?

Yes, -walking helps. After you eat wait the 30 minutes to an hour then sip on some cold Water.

I hate that feeling so I always try to never put more in my stomach then it can hold which is a little less than 2oz about 1.5 to 1.8, I had my surgery July 22, 2014. I measure and weigh everything!

Like you I am very afraid of gaining weight back, I want to call my self maintaining but I am still losing weight.

The maintain lane will be much more harder then the losing lane was!!!!!!
