March 5, 2013 - 4 years post-op

Mar 05, 2013

 

4 years ago this past Saturday (March 2, 2009), I had RNY gastric bypass surgery.   I don't regret for one single minute doing it.   I am struggling with a bit of weight regain, however.  The bariatric center says I am now 260 pounds.  That is up 8 pounds from last year, which was, in turn, up 7 pounds from 2011.   I am being proactive about it, because I want to stop the weight gain, and initiate more weight loss. I am going to exercise more, avoid my trigger foods (snacks and sweets), keep a closer eye on my portions, start keeping a food journal using the SparkPeople app for Android, and I even have an appointment for next month with a different nutritionist at my bariatric center (my original one no longer sees patients, since she was promoted to  the coordinator of the Bariatric Center).

Maybe keeping updates on here will also help get me back on track.

For my first day of using SparkPeople Diet and Food Tracker, it says I took in 1341 calories today.  My bariatric center recommends we stay between 1000 and 1500 calories a day.  So 1341 isn't too bad.
