2013 Gastric Bypass patient

I had Gastric Bypass in December of 2013. My starting weight was 375 lbs. I am now 170 lbs. I stalled about 2 years ago and could not get under 200. I can't seem to stop losing weight now and I am almost 6 years out. I will be honest and say that I do not watch what I eat. I do not follow any of the 'rules' that were laid out. I do avoid things that make me feel terrible - I can't drink milk and certain things with too much sugar make me feel sick so I don't even want them. I can only eat small amounts at a time still. I was just wondering if anyone else who is this far out deals with the same things. It almost freaks me out a little as if something is wrong with me. Maybe it's just my anxiety but I am looking for people who are this far out who can shed some light as to their journey thus far.

Hi there , I had my surgery in March of 2013 and lost 100lbs in 9 months. I lost so much weight they actually wanted me to gain weight . I am in the same position you are with what I can’t eat but what I can eat isn’t very healthy. People think I’m crazy when I say I can’t eat greens , certain fruits , and meats. You are not alone.

while most people 6 years out struggle with regain, you admit you can basically eat anything you want and keep your weight down, if not still lose a little.

i'm sorry... what's the problem here?
