I underwent Duodenal Switch bariatric surgery in April at 356 lbs, having started at 510 lbs and reaching the surgery weight on my own. In 6 months, I've gotten down to 250 lbs. I've worked out (mainly cardio, as recommended by the bariatric clinic) 2-3 times a week for the past year. For the past 3 weeks, I've been listening to your podcast and others, and I joined Planet Fitness, attending 4-5 days a week with an emphasis on cardio and strength training in the first 2 weeks. Now I'm backing off cardio and focusing more on strength training, with 3 sessions of 20 minutes of cardio per week. I’ve been trying to get 7-8 hours of sleep, following a single-ingredient whole food diet with a protein focus of 170-185 g a day, <45-80g carbs & moderate fat, and around 1500 calories/day given I just can’t eat like I used to. I can tell I’m getting stronger and losing inches on my waist. I see changes in the mirror, but I’m kind of lost on if my calorie intake is appropriate for the bariatric procedure I had and the regimen I have in the gym and my nutrition. Do you have any suggestions to improve my approach?
I did a gastric sleeve operation 2 years ago when I weighed 142 kg. After 1 year, I had lost 56 kg and weighed 86 kg. However, I started to get lazy and felt tired, which affected my strength. Now, after 2 years, I am back at 110 kg. I don't know what to do because I am always hungry. I eat, and then after 2 hours, I feel hungry again. What could be the problem?
