New one year postop

[Guest guest]

Greetings all, my name is Debbi, I live in Dayton Ohio.

Today is my one year anniversary of my surgery. I have lost about 80 lbs.

I had open rny. It is nice to formally join the group. I have been a

lurker for months and I appreciate all the wisdom that has come across the

net. I also appreciate the struggles, I have had many. This is a new

lifestyle for one thing, so that takes some getting used to. But when one

has problems, it becomes a snare too.

In a nutshell, I rapidly dump everything I eat, had a gastro emptying test

that showed that syndrome. I am not losing fast, did at first, but 5 months

into my first year, I plateaued at 196 for 5 months, then lost 10 lbs, and

have been now been stuck at 186 for 3 months. I must be the plateau queen.

I have been upping my exercise, making sure I drink at least 64+ oz water

and at least consume 48g of protein. I started this in the last week, and

found I have gained 5 lbs (now 191),, arghhhh, so where is the sanity in all

this?

So, here I am, one year postop today, and gaining just by increasing

exercise water and protein,,,,am I doing something wrong?

I do so appreciate finally being able to post and be an active member of

this group. Have a great day all.
