I had gastric surgery the old fashion was 37 years ago. I lost from 300 to 200 (100) lbs total and all stopped. It was before the docs knew to tell you of correct eating, vitamins etc. so at times I struggled alone. Several years ago, I was prescribed Ozempic with a 20 lb loss over next 2 years. Six months ago, I was switched to Wegovy 10 mg. I am no longer hungry and losing weight about 5 lbs a month. Wegovy took away my thoughts of food. I must now regulate my protein intake as I am just not hungry at all. Another year and I must have some skin removal, as I am uncomfortable with the excess skin and hanging large breasts. It will get better guys. Stick with it, with a physician who hears you and is concerned.

Congratulations on your loss! It’s impressive you maintained then lost more over that time period.

I haven’t had bariatric surgery, but work hard to focus on nutrition with my large weight loss. Met with another nutritionist last week. She liked my meal plans, but suggested I add a little more protein, so I’m working on incorporating that. Do you have any particular meal plan or diet you follow?

Have you reached goal weight? Will you seek surgery now?
