5 years PostOp

[sydnityler]

I am 5 years PostOp and although I am still well below my PreOp weight, I feel like I need to get back on track with my eating. We are going on vacation in July and I want to look and feel my best! I was soooo excited to find this site/ap and see all of the support!

Welcome to the site. You will find the support you need here that's for sure - the forum is full of friendly helpful guys and gals.

It's nice to have someone who had surgery five years ago and hopefully at time goes by you will share some of your experience with us all.

Hi and welcome. Would be extremely interesting to hear from you as well as many on this forum are new to wls or at most just two or three years out.

I am sure you will get the support you need eating wise . . and in return perhaps you can fill us in with what to expect in the future!! (I for one am terrified that old habits may return or that our capacity to eat increases . . )

How much did you lose in total and at what weight have you 'levelled out' - or have you gradually put back on . . and if so how much?

Sorry inundating you with questions already but really interesting to find someone so much further on than most!!

Hope you enjoy this forum and hope you get the info/help you need.

Hello and welcome x

I look forward to offering as much moral boosting support that i can. There's not much i can offer foodwise as you are obviously doing well there. Feel free to pick my brains at any point though...

Would love to know a bit more about you.. Where are you from? What surgery did you have? Where you going on your holiday? xx

Hi there and welcome to the forum! How are you planning on getting back on track? Have you still got good restriction? Still remember the protein first rule, keeping up with the fluids etc?

Good luck hun x

 

[Silhouette56]

My restriction is limited now and I have gained about 40lbs back. It is a minimal amount compared to the 172 I lost originally. But enough I'm not happy with myself right now. I have no reaction physically to intake of sugar,starches and carbs do react tho.thanks for all the welcome posts,I look forward to exchanging ideas with everyone. Susan

 

[salski]

Hiya again. Have you looking into water loading before meals, the 5 day pouch test? protein first and no or very limited carbs (always brown) x

 

[Silhouette56]

Never heard of the 5 day pouch test. Explain it if you don't mind,please.
