My name is Marcie and I'm 27 years old I had Gastric Bypass RNY in October of 2009 I started out at 325 pounds before surgery and I lost within 6 months 125 pounds which put me at about 200 pounds I was happy at the weight because I had been a size 26 for so long and at 200 pounds I was a size 12/14 so it was a big shock to me and i was happy but apparently I got too happy. After the 6 months I really didn't follow through and just kinda ate what I wanted sometimes it would make me sick sometimes not at this point now I've pretty much gotten used to everything. So, anyway I would always stay in between 200-215 for the past couple years in June of 2012 I had my gallbladder taken out and I didn't change my eating habits at all or do anything different but I got up to 242 pounds I'm not really sure how it happened because I wasn't doing anything different but that's besides the point. So, 2 weeks ago I decided that I didn't want to do this anymore my shirts and pants were starting to get tight and I hated feeling like that I would be upset about my weight everyday. So, now two weeks after starting I have lost 10 pounds and am down to 232 my first goal is to get to 185 and re-assess the situation once i get there. I know you all know how hard it is to have the surgery lose the weight and then gain some or all of it back. I'm going to see how this counting calorie thing works for me I mean we all know they preach protein protein but there is alot of calories in those shakes and protein bars so I'm going to try to count calories while also getting in protein. I know that being so far out post-op that our nutritional requirements have changed and so have our stomachs and bodies. So, that's my story if anyone wants to add me as a friend please do so we can definately support each other. Good Luck everyone.
