Jan 2023 MGB Surgery.

[calamity72 2]

Hi, I had surgery (Mini Gastric Bypass) in Jan 2023 and I am losing weight. Total weight loss is 50lb (in 23 weeks) . However most of this was lost in the early month and I have slowed to approximately 1lb per week, if that. The slower weight loss is fine, I can cope with this because its going in the right direction.

What has be very anxious is that i find that I feel like i have no restriction and can eat anything. To maintain the weight-loss I need to tell myself not to eat. I am fighting with the 1lb weight loss each week to make sure its a deficit, terrified that it will go up. I don't feel like i have a tool.

Are there any other MGB patients that can eat anything - bread, rice, chocolate, Cereal, potatoes. I do suffer nausea if I don't eat sufficient Protein but i am so worried that i have gone through surgery and i will spend the rest of my life 'dieting' with little help from my tool.

Anyone else in the same position?

Thanks

I had MGB 30March and yes, I can eat everything, mostly don’t feel dumping and I have lost only 13 kilograms. My BMI was 35,5.
Sad is that I get hungry over 2 hours what means I am eating too often
