My surgical history is posted below. I had my DS very close to normal BMI( to fix a very broken RNY), and at 12 weeks out, am now at a BMI of 23. I am a size 4 and happy with where my weight is. I've been at the weight for over a month now, and seem to be maintaining with no issue. I'm eating about 1500-1800 calories a day, with about 15% of my intake from carbs, mostly in the form of dairy. I am getting at least 100 grams of protein daily and frequently closer to 130. Fats are about the same as protein.
I've pretty much reached 100% of my EWL. I guess I could lose a few pounds and be okay, but at 51, I really don't want to. At some point, skinny shows more on your face than anywhere else, and I don't want to look like a prune. I'm just worried that I'm going to gain, because I see that so many DSers are saying they take in 3000 calories a day. While I can't imagine being able to do that at this point, this isn't my first time at the rodeo, and I'm more than sure that my "foodscape" will change dramatically in the next year.
Another worry I have is...please pardon the grossness...I"m not seeing a lot of fat in the toilet. My poops are generally once a day, formed and very civilized. I sometimes wonder if I "really" had a DS. LOL. Am I worrying about nothing? Could I possibly be done losing and just stay at my current weight forever? Or am I gonna just wind up gaining this all back yet AGAIN?
