I never posted on here before, but curious if this has happened to anyone else. I will admit that I believed that the RNY had failed. I originally lost only 97 pounds in over a year. I gained over half of that back after about 4 1/2 years, and this year since December I have lost 30 pounds and I'm 20 pounds to my original lowest weight. I can't say that I'm really doing anything special...and every week I'm losing about 3 pounds. Has this happened to anyone else?

What is your caloric intake? Are those calories coming from the correct nutrients? Are you eating sugar? Simple carbs/ complex carbs?
After 2-1/2 years, my head is still very much the same as it was pre-surgery so I can't rely on it to keep me motivated. I volunteer walking dogs at a pet shelter and am part of a weekly walking group on Meetup. I've found that keeping plugged in with groups of active, like-minded people keeps me on track more than if I went it alone.
You should get your thyroid checked, but 15 pounds in a year is only 150 additional calories a day (easy to do the further we get out- I am 6.75 years out). I would get out the measuring cups and food scale and make sure my portions are accurate.

Do you have your thyroid levels checked regularly? It does sound like that may be an issue, if you have been on just 50mcg, it's possible you may a need a prescription adjustment. Worth asking ~ I just requested a full panel because I don't feel my own is working as it has for the past several years and want to see if mine needs adjusting as well. Keep us posted ~
I don't know what a century card is or what it is used for, but would love one. [email protected] and I'm 100 lbs down... Laura Henderson
Thanks!
I can relate to how you feel but think about 1 year ago and the condition we were in. At first there is this pink cloud and we are willing to do whatever it takes. At this point, we kind of slip back to old habits and our sense of urgency is lost, or at least not the priority it once was.
I mean think about it: Do we eat protein first? Do we drink all our water. Do we eat healthy? Most likely we rely on the Sleeve to restrict our food but basically are back to our old routines.
I can't speak for you or others but I noticed this is my case, so we, or at least "I" need a wake call every few months and that is why I come to this forum because the posters help me recognize my accountability. I also realized that each one of them have been exactly where I am, but they survived it and reach their goals or at least got through their plateaus multiple times.
So we both did the right thing coming here-this is the reality of WLS-it's just a tool. It'll aid us in losing weight fast especially in the beginning but eventually we have to step up to eat and to live healthy. It's our turn now! Thank you for relating, good to know I'm not alone.
