post op weight gain
Hi Brenda, my surgery was July 28,2003 and I got from 263 down to 166. I did it real slooooow and had more plateaus then the desert has. actually quit losing at 15 months out. stayed there for 4 months and now have gained 7 lbs.
I am hoping its cause the new meds I have been put on but wont know till I can go off them in May.
till then I am watching calories,eating 3 meals,no snacks,upping the water,extra exercise and praying like mad. If I could just stay where I am and not gain anymore would elate me. I still had 20 -30 pounds to my personal goal.
Now relating to my age, how long in life I sat at 160 or so I may not be able to get any lower and that would be fine to. just means goal is closer
