Hey :-)
14 plus years out. I?ve been up 27 lbs above goal and the way to get back down is about reeling yourself in and making yourself accountable.
it?s all nutrition and food choices. It?s going to be about being real with yourself. Weight loss is always possible but it?s going to require honesty with yourself about how we have to eat as a bariatric patient, holding yourself accountable and food prepping and planning. I don?t eat radically to lose. I focus on whole foods and protein first. I eat all food groups.
When you?re ready, you can do it. No lectures here. Just the real life ups and downs of post bariatric life. No magic. Just hard work and consistency.
good luck
Dawn

Hi! I had surgery April 2016. I lost all my weight and then some and currently play with +/- 5 lbs on any given day.
Yes, you should stop eating chips! The struggle is real! Mmmmm I love chips. I do eat them occasionally but try to limit. I little hack I use it just to buy the variety packs and only eat 1 one little bag as a snack as opposed to opening a family size bag and not knowing when to put them down.
I must admit that since the pandemic I have not been going to the gym and wish I could go back. Not for weightloss but general health and well being.
Hang in there. Go for your three year check up and take whatever advise and tips they have to share with you.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will not be a Fall Exchange this year.
Hang onto those bags of clothes and we'll hope that next May can happen!!!

Hi Lucile,
Yes this Ontario board has been dead for the past year.... I was posting menu's with Meggles but she now has 2 little ones so I'm sure she is super busy.
I had my surgery late Nov 2018 and have lost a substantial amount of weight but am finding I'm STUCK. I haven't been going back to old habits but have been at the gym doing weight training pretty heavy so I'm hoping its muscle replacing the fat because I am still losing inches but not lbs.
I'm thinking of hopping over to post on the RNY board since it seems to be very active and they look like a good bunch of supportive helpful peeps.
I am thankful for my RNY. But dudes I am up 40 lbs from my lowest. I am not thankful for the regain. I guess I gotta stop eating chips and grazing all day. Not being funny. Just wanna know how everyone is doing. Ontarians out there? Hello? Anyone out there?
Post when you had your surgery and if you've been successful or are struggling. I'm three years out and am terrified of going for my 3 year check up. Don't wanna hear the lectures.
Ok. let's keep this thing alive.

Hi I know it's a minute since you posted but can you let me know if you got any closer to finding out about the surgery or getting the surgery? The worst for me is my belly button area.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!

Do you an endocrinologist for your diabetes? My endocrinologist actually suggested WLS to me and help persuade my GP to do the referral. RNY can have an immediate metabolic impact that can make diabetes more manageable or even "cure" (assuming type 2) it. I went from being insulin dependent pre-op to off all diabetes meds within days of the surgery. If you have an endo maybe they can talk to your GP about it?
