Hi BIGMOMMAOF3.  Remember to chew, chew, chew, I forget and have discomfort every once in a while.  Check our the answer I posted to tjm above.  Time to maximize your tool.  No grazing.  Separate solids from liquid consumption.

I catch myself having a sip of fluid with my meal, then another and another, and find that I can eat waaaaay more than I need to.

I agree to keep sharing wls with those than can support you.  Log your foods, review the log and check for unhealthy trends.  Visit with your surgeon to review your options.  Make the best healthy choices that you can.  Let's visit during monday chat time.

Welcome to the group Preston.  Congrats on losing 159#, that is amazing.  You do not say how tall you are, I see your goal is 205.  Think about this, when have you been able to lose almost 160# in a year?  The weight probably did not appear this quickly.  I thing you are doing amazing.

What questions do you have on eating and plateaus?  I have been the queen of plateaus.  Had several over the last 2 plus years.  There is a chat session each monday here at bariatric buddy page.  Please come attend when you can, we can discuss ideas.  Chat session starts at 6 pm central time.  I will post a reminder in the morning.

I had RNY 09/2009.  Do you go to the support group meetings  when you can?  The support means a lot for myself.  Hang in there and let's see what we can accomplish as a group!!

Hi,
     I'm sorry you gained your weight back. You are the only one who can make the choice of what to do now. I'm only 1 year out so I can't address the long term weight issue. The only thing I can tell you, you all ready know. As already stated this WLS is just a tool as is healthy eating and exercise. My surgeon told me that that malabsorption last about 1 year to 18 months. It gives us time to put our old habits aside and get new healthy habits. Good luck with your decision. I want you to be successful. Keep posting and let us know what you decided to do and how it is working for you. We are here for you in your efforts to reinstate a healthier you.l    Mag
