Hey guys i haven't been on here in a long time. I tend to read all the stories just never post due to my work schedule. I need advice. I have stalled in my weight loss journey. My surgery was 06/07/16 So far I have loss 124. I feel like I could eat more food then before and I'm hungry all the time. Has anyone taken diet pills? I had the gastric bypass.

How many calories are you consuming each day? Carbs? Protein? How much Water are you drinking each day? What are you doing for exercise? Are you tracking your food and drink each day?

Hey. Water I take about 1.5 liters a day. Protein about 30 gram carbs and calories I stop tracking. Exercise I try to work out every day for 30 min mostly cardio. If you have a better way I'm open for suggestions please.

Your protein is really low. I've never heard any plan that calls for less than 60 grams per day. (Although there was a poster yesterday who said her doctor gave her a goal of 30 grams per day. I find that suspect, but that's what she said.)

I'd recommend that you begin tracking your food and drink. Without doing that, you really have no idea what you are taking in each day. I'd also recommend making an appointment with your nutritionist so that you can work together to determine how many calories and carbs you should be taking in based upon your current body state. (You didn't give any specifics here, so it is hard to give any advice around calories, etc.)

I'd also up your water by 0.5 L or so.

Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful. Good luck!

Definitely speak with a nutritionist. You're over a year out. Your bodies needs have changed. Best to seek out experts advice. That said....I think you should really be tracking your intake. A year out calorie intake is really important.

      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! 😞
