Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I am a post-gastric bypass patient and paranoid of gaining the weight back. Currently 6 years out, went from 365 pounds to @185-190 pounds. I was 176 at my lightest, after one of my surguries but, then had to have a blood transfusion for severe low hematocrit levels and have gained 8-10 pounds since then (2006)
