Surgery Oct. 2012, lost 60lbs and now I've gained 20 lbs back in the last six months. Anyone getting back on track?

James you are right, I was used to eating a little bit of whatever I wanted and didn't gain anything. I did eventfully increase my calorie intake had no issues until now. I called my nutritionist and made a visit last week. We created new goals that were realistic to my current work situation and eating habits. I will attend the support meeting that the hospital has for current and former patients twice a month. I just don't want to slide back into my old eating ways completely. I am realizing that even though it was easy in the beginning to see the pounds fall off, that I must now focus on the stage I'm in now. Thanks for responding.

I would suggest you stay on the shakes until your Doc says your ready. I know it's a struggle but it's worth it. Hang in there and Congrats!

Okay, we need a little fun here so here's my bad weak moment. Last night I woke up after a nap feeling like I needed something different than my wonderful puréed items, and I looked in the fridge and saw some COOKIE DOUGH! I felt like I had turned into a crazy lady and took two pinches, then swished it around in my mouth then quickly spit out. YES, I know us here are not suppose to do this, but I had a "CRAZY LADY MOMENT"

Yes you will be able to handle more, 8 oz is what my doc said too SD: 10/10/12, Converted from Lapband to RNY, HW (before band) 263, HW (RNY) 230, Preop 219, after surgery 223, CURRENT... 185 Yeah!!!!

Check with your doctor because your Iron might be low. I experienced the same symptoms and had some blood work done, and that's what my doc said was wrong. It helped big time!

I have always says that I am not dumping because I've only thrown up once. Now I am realizing they I might be dumping in the sense of a slight tummy ache, feeling weak, dizzy, feeling nauseated, and even sweating. This happens after I eat sometimes, but I don't feel as if I'm over eating because I'm not eating over 6oz. That is the amount my nutritionist said I should be able to eat. Help if you have some input or have experienced this. Thanks SD: 10/10/12, Converted from Lapband to RNY, HW (before band) 263, HW (RNY) 230, Preop 219, after surgery 223, CURRENT... 187 YEAH!!!!
