Back to basics I guess. I am struggling right now and have put my self back onto the basic program. Under 30 grms carbs over 90 grms protein under 1000 calories and over 10 cups of water a day.
Good Luck!

I am 11 years out and have been successful keeping my weight off. I can pretty much eat anything but still have problems if...I eat too much, eat too fast, don't chew well enough or eat too much sugar. You would think I would learn after 11 years!! I still do a lot of 'grazing' so calories add up quickly and I don't ever feel really full. If I stick to my regular meals then I can still only eat a limited amount. I would love to lose 15-20 more lbs. The biggest factor for me is my exercise. I am now a runner. I found my body got used to the long mileage so I have recently hired a personal trainer. I can already tell a difference. I am trading the money we spend on all the meals we eat out so we can afford it but it will be worth every penny. Accountability with my exercise is a must (I have a running buddy that I train with). I tell people I had surgery on my stomach, not my brain. I still love to eat, but I told myself I'd never go back. I haven't been on this site in so many years but nothing beats the support of others!
I too get like this. WLS 5.2009..Some days I can eat EVERYTHING..others only a bird size amount before I am feeling completely full. Do you have pain associated with it? I know when I mentioned these symptoms to my surgeon her thought was that I may have a small bowel obstruction or a Petersens hernia. I think I am going to go ahead and follow up just in case. May I ask what type of hernia you had? I have a Hiatel hernia and wondering if I should push for suregery.
hi my name is dominica, I had the RNY 09/2014. I have been having dizzy spells, lightheaded and loss of vision. I was diagnosed with bradycardia( not sure how to spell) I get a month long heart monitor on the 13th of January. The cardiologist in the ER mentioned a pacemaker. I have been trying so hard not to think about that. I am 33 and it scars me, but the no energy, and add to that low sugar and low blood pressue that I know have also. I am scared.

I am TeashaLorna on My Fitness Pal if you want to be friends. I have a few people WLS people I am in touch with and we keep an eye on each other daily. We monitor our Food Plans mostly but check up on exercise as well.
We are a few that will kick each other in the butt when we see our food plans going sideways.
Myself I am 3.5 years out and am holding onto a 3 to 5 lb gain right now, that I need to take off. I have been struggling for months with it. The good news is it is not getting worse, the bad news is I need to drop it off.
Christmas has been hard on me this year, to much stinky thinking and eating carbs. One leads to the other as does it in reverse as well. Eating carbs = stinking thinking for me. I will likely be doing the 5 day pouch test to decarb myself and then get going from there.
anyway it would be nice to have another person on My Fitness Pal to share with.

It depends on what I'm eating. I can eat vegetables all day long - copious amounts. I can also pack away a lot of protein... But fried food or fast food gives me a gross "Ugh" feeling really quickly. I could eat a dinner plate sized salad heaped with all the protein and trimmings - for example... But I can only make it through 1/2 of a McDonalds cheeseburger before I'm possibly going to die. That's probably a good thing.
I hope you see this. I realize your post is about 3 years old.
I'm 11 years out. I have both Whole 30 books & tried it for 3 weeks. Stopped because of NO energy. I'm sure I wasn't doing it right & not eating enough. I'd appreciate knowing your experience with it. I'm having health problems that have stumped the doctors. I'm seeing a gastroenterologist. In fact, I'm getting scoped tomorrow.
