Romana ask:

I have a question to post pls. I did my bariatric in Aug 2020. Lost weight for a year and then no further weight loss. Now suddenly my weight fell in the last 3-4 weeks around 2kgs. No lifestyle or diet changes. No changes in stress levels. Could it be possible because of the bariatric surgery. Does the surgery allow you to again start losing weight after a few years? Is this normal? Scared of something nasty so asking if surgery could be the reason and I am worrying unnecessarily. Thanks

Happy 2024!

I would love some support from you all. I got pancreatitis in June and they had to do three surgeries on me and it caused my pouch to stretch and I am struggling and getting it to go back to normal. Do y’all have any suggestions?

Polly Schuyler ask:

Hi, first time posting. I'm looking for help/guidance, please 🙏. I'm 2 1/2 years post RNY. I have just noticed that I'm falling 😞. I'm eating more than I should be, plus I am shopping out of control 😞. Any advice or guidance, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you 🙏.

Happy Sunday! Just checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Hope you all had a good weekend!
