Hi all 4+ years out
I still use a protein powder in my coffee every morning. I eat Greek yogurt, and stick mostly to protein. I do though eat more now. Its a little harder and I weigh myself often about 3 times a month. I have stayed close to the same weight for 2 years now. So nice to know when I get my next seasons clothes out they will fit. I drink more tea now than water.I forget to eat and have hypoglycemia. Apparently that is common in people that have weight loss surgery. I have found that the protein bars that I have used in weight loss, will stop the shakes and bring my sugar up quickly. If you have any questions for me let me know.

At 4 yrs out, do you still feel restriction? When you say you can eat more, what does maintanance look like for you as for calories, protein and carbs?
I'm 5 months out and am trying to prepare for my future. I get great ideas from the "vets" around here.
It depends on what I eat. something like peanut butter on a slice of bread (thin slice) most of the time I can't fini**** Dense protein like chicken maybe 3 oz or if I'm starving 4 but nothingmuch with it. Then theres popcorn its surprising how much of that you can eat. I don't count my protein and calories and carbs. Basically I spent the first 2 years eating lots of protein and little carbs, and I really don't care for potatoes, or bread or rice anymore. And I haven't pushed myself to eat it. Yes I still feel restriction and if I eat too quickly like when my sugar drops and I want it up quickly I get the hickups.
