I am wondering the same. I am four years out and have lost 26 pounds beyond my goal weight and I have not had success in stopping weight loss.  My metabolism has changed so much that it burns up everything I take in so quick.  I worry that at some point this is going to perhaps become an issue if it does not slow/stop.  

 

So for the last year and a half I have been having issues with my blood sugar. Somtimes its was high or low but it just wasnt right. So i kept telling my dr. and he wouldn't listen. Friday before last i had yet another appt. and wasn't feeling right as usual but it doesnt normally happen while I am sitting in the office but thank god it did this time. They checked my blood sugar and it was down to 22. I am so frustrated because at this point ANYTHING I eat causes problems either my blood sugar stays low are it shoots up fast and I am feeling like I am in a sauna and am going to pass out. on the opposite with it being low I freezing like i am outside in the middle of winter with no jacket and feel so tired that i cant even describe it. Next wensday i am going in for a 72 hr. testing so they can figure out if this is caused by the surgury or is my pancrease itself. When i went into the endocrinologist he mentioned like 4 times during the appointment the possiblity of a reversal. At this point i was i could just call and schedule it I am so over being sick 24/7 i have fibromyalgia, arthritis, CFS and along with a ton of other issues also sense i have lost weight my back problems are 10 times worse which is the opposite of what was supposed to happen.

Has anyones eles been having simmilar problems? If so what have you been able to eat?

Hi,

I so understand your plight. Yes, I'm 2 years post op and have gained 23 lbs. back from my lowest weight. I still wanted to lose 20 more pounds, now I have 43 to lose. My same habits are creeping back in, too. Very frightening, isn't it? We went through so much to get the surgery and during and after surgery, too. I had the Rou-en-Y. Did you? I keep walking to the fridge and opening the door and staring in. It takes tremendous effort to shut that door and walk away. I've been grabbing a big glass of water lately instead and that seems to be helping. I just started walking 2 miles a day and am hoping that exercise will also lower my appetite. If you are trying to conceive, I'm sure the stress isn't helping. Try to relax and not worry or obssess about conceiving. I went through that, as well, when I was younger. I remember how emotionally frustrating the roller-coaster of emotions were. Am I pregnant? Damn, I'm not. Am I? Damn I'm not. Such huge emotional struggles in getting pregnant. It can only help you to relax for both limiting weight gain and making you more fertile with less stress. Hang in there! Try walking to reduce the stress. I also find that reading helps. It's difficult to worry about something when you're reading. You're mind can only focus on the book.

Take care, sweety. You will be fine and who cares about the other 30 pounds you lost an amazing amount of weight!!!! I only lost 90.
