Nutrition to me is half the battle. After u find an equilibrium on calories, get steps in every day.

Is there another form of iron besides carbonyl iron that works for D.S patients? I used to take the one through Vita lady, but all I can find now is the one that has vitamin C mixed with it. I dont want to over do it on the vitamin C while trying to get enough Iron. I used to take five 60 mg capsules a day.

Do you know how many carbs you're eating per day?

Started having terrifying, horrible Sciatica pain, and was desperate. Searched online and found that some people take this anti oxidate called alpha-lipoic acid. Suffered on and off for a month and a half. Tried once and quit because I started going to a chiropractor. Pain got even worse, enough so that I started taking the supplement again. After three days, which is when they say it usually kicks in and starts to work, it started to ease up and on day four its almost 99 percent gone. Im over the moon and going to keep taking it. My surgery was back in 2013, and Im just wondering if my body has been lacking this for a long time, and finally I was starting to feel the effects? Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I had weight loss surgery about 2 years ago, and lost a significant amount of weight. But in the last 6 months, I have had difficulty maintaining the weight - it has been creeping up even though I have maintained a relatively stable diet and exercise routine.

My question is:

Has anyone else experienced a similar situation after weight loss surgery? How did they stabilize their weight?

Are there any diets, exercise routines, or management strategies that have been proven to be effective during the "plateau" phase - when weight loss is harder?

Does anyone know of a doctor, nutritionist, or support program on ObesityHelp that would be a good fit to share their experiences with?

I would love to hear some practical advice from the community - even if it is just a small habit that can help me maintain my results after surgery. Thanks so much!
