I just had an adjustment last week as was throwing up a lot and had terrible acid reflex. Problem now is they took out about half and I can eat meat and bread again. Have to get this under control. I admit I am scared0 -
This is a great post and thank you! I've read through all of these and it helped tons!
Program start weight 312 lb. Pre-surgery 8 months later 277lbs. Full goal weight hit at around 10 months post op of 147 lbs. Currently almost 3 years post op and 156 lbs. However, when I go past 157, I panic and get back to it. Female, age 51.
Been difficult at the two year mark for urges but not being able to eat a lot and trying to find a good balance of getting nutrients, eating healthy and eating what I still can. I am at a point now that I feel good about my balance and my daily menu. I work overnight; doubly hard-especially with many 16 hour day shifts as needed. Got tough for awhile to really balance that with eating, finding sleep and trying to stay awake. I feel pretty normal now though.
Nightmares of overeating and gaining weight continue but less frequent.
Happiest I've ever been in life!0 -
