Hi my names Jennifer, I'm 18, a type 1 diabetic and I had my surgery on 5/18/16. I've lost 65 lbs. and I haven't lost anymore weight in the past few months.

I'm only able to eat about 8 ounces at a time like I'm supposed to but my weight goes up and down every day. I am a college student and "healthy eating" isn't always the easiest thing. It just bums me out how my scale will tell me I'm heavier than I was the day before. I aIso get hungrier faster after Snacks or meals throughout the day and was just curious if this happens to anybody else. I'm really new to the app and would just like any advice I can get. Thanks!

Congratulations on the 65lbs you have lost. Sounds like you are at a plateau, need to change what you are eating. Eat more Protein and less carbs. Try and weigh yourself once a week since your weight does fluctuate daily, so you don't get frustrated. Maybe you can look up some protein Snacks like hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cheese, etc they will keep you fuller longer. I am sure this group could give some ideas for healthy choices for a college student always on the run. Not sure how active meaning exercise, but might need to do a little more. Definitely check in with your nutritionist.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppHi JJennifer I understand your struggle; I am right there with you as far as the plateau goes. Some thing things that work well for me for high protien snacks on the go are the P3 packed snacks that have nuts cheeese and meat or I will grab a lunchable and ditch the treat and the crackers and just eat the meat, I also will pack celery stuffed with Peanut Butter so I get the crunch and am froced to chew and satiate the brain. Make sure that you are getting your 64 oz of Water and staying hydrated. Are you on an acid reducer? Somtimes ,like dehydrationm acid reflux presents as hunger, Another thin you can do is increase your excercise as well; shake up your routine add something new. I hope this helps. Good luck

Thank you so much I really appreciate it!

Try getting yourself a magic bullet or something for your dorm or apartment... Making eating healthy convenient is hard. I would try to get more Protein in if you can.
