Honestly, i had RNY in 2016. The first 18 months did what the pamphlet said, then I spent a few years hovering in the same 12-pound window.
Zepbound came later, after I'd already made peace with slow math. The surprise wasn't appetite—it was how much quieter the mental snack chatter got.
I still weigh my cereal because I know my eyeball lies, and I still stop at five or six bites of steak on a bad-tight day. There was a thread here a couple years back about maintenance being a different job, and that's where I live now.
I can get through a 90-minute meeting on water and coffee, which used to be a snack parade. I'm not chasing a number. I'm mostly curious how other post-op folks handle this chapter when the medication is doing part of the volume knob.
What's been the hardest habit to keep once the hunger noise faded?
