Reverting back to the beginning
Hi everyone. I have this strange phenomenon happening in the last month or so. I am 6 years out from surgery maintaing a 130 lb weight loss and weighing in at 104 lbs. I have had some ups and downs in weight but nothing drastic, just 5 lb fluctuating here and there. So, recently, I haven't been able to eat the portions I have become accustomed to over the years, which weren't big anyway, but they were generous enough. I have been getting nauseous after eating the portions I was used to so I cut them down. For instance, I had a Healthy Choice Chicken lunch meal and I could only take a few bites and I was full. I was in shock. My brain kicked in and gave me that signal. I stopped eating it. It felt like I had just ate a full meal. Consequently, I have lost 7 lbs in the last few months or so. I actually feel like I did in the first year postop and it feels like I'm getting the dumping syndrome. I don't know what is supposed to happen at this time (6 yrs) out. I trying to get as much protein in as possible. So, if anyone has gone through this, let me know. Thanks. Katstone

Can you follow up with your surgeon?
