I reached my 4th year and still holding at a size 2. My weight does roller-coaster, as it did at 3 yrs post-op, only now it's a bit more of a spread. The hightest I've reached was 131 lbs. I had fallen into a black licorice snacking habit. It wass, in my mind, very low sugar and no fat... My body didn't see it that way.

So I returned to early-post-op behavior. Protein shake in the AM, Protein shake for lunch, Lite dinner eating protein first. My weight dropped back down to 124-127 lbs.

For those of you starting out on this path know that in time your appetite will return as will your ability to eat larger portions of foods. If you dump or feel only slightly queazy and nausea with sugars, That too will pass if you're stubborn and keep shoving sugars into your mouth.... Don't go there!

Take full advantage of your honeymoon period and TEACH YOURSELF to love your protein supplements. It will be your only saving grace when the pounds try and creep back!

At four years post-op I am a thin person! I am still hearing, "oh peckkale.... Your SoOOooooo skinny! You really need to gain a few pounds." I, and my family members laugh it off!

Thank you Lord for the gift of GBP.

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye, and say, "I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me."

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Hiya Girl!

I check on the forum about once every 6 months. There doesn't seem to be much I can add so I just read.
