Weight loss post surgery

Hi there!

I had the op in 2018 and my weight dropped monthly for 2 full years and then after this my weight started increasing. 

I like you all did not feel hungry and could not eat much or as often as you were told to eat.

The amount that you could eat was very small - for example for breakfast i could only eat a couple spoonfuls of cereal or couple of bites of toast. There is no information out there what constitutes what small actually means.

Its been four years now and sometimes for breakfast I can only manage half a toast. 

To add calories and put weight on use full fat milk or even butter etc. 

I would worry each month  that I was still losing weight but it will take time for everyone to get used to the "new plumbing" we have been blessed with.

The doctors were not concerned at my appointments either - now I know why.

Take care everyone  - its early days just yet for you all. Everything will take time and patience but we will get there in the end.

Hi Rf2k18,

Thanks for the reply. I’ve come to realise I’m “in it” for the long haul!

It’s reassuring to know we’re not alone and there are many people out there at different stages of their own personal “journey”.

I hope to reflect on this time in a few years and realise how far I’ve come!
