I'll be buddies with anyone!

Try going back to basics. There's a 5 day pouch reset diet you can try to get you back on track! Protein - low carb. No Pasta, bread, rice, candy, Cookies, chips, etc. Stay strong!

Look realistically at your diet. What are you doing wrong? I don't know enough about the RNY but assume you still have restriction. Plan, log and reflect on everything you are eating each day. You obviously want this so go right back to basics. I know people on this site often say seek a therapist, they're not big here in UK but you have to grasp whatever is available. If you are working such a long day how are you getting your Protein in? Protein seems to be the key to everything so concentrate on this.
I wish you well.

My RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery My name is Carla! I live in NJ I'm a 35 year old married mother of two. My weight loss journey started in March 2008. My son was one year old and I decided I no longer wanted to live my 300lb unhealthy lifestyle! I wanted to live to be able to see my Son grow and I wanted to be able to play with him and not watch from the side lines. I had my gastric bypass surgery Sept 15 2008. After the usual
Two days in the hospital I was feeling good and diacharged. Only to return to the hospital at 4am in severe pain. I had a leak. Had to do another surgery and recovery was very painful I stayed in the hospital for three weeks. With that being said I would do it all over again. I reached my goal weight of 160lbs within the year. I maintained this weight for 5 years I was a stay at home Mom back then and I worked out full time. 6 or 7 days a week 1 1/2 -2 hours a day! I was determined to make all of my pain purpose full. But as life happened I creeped up to 180lbs and plateau there for months until I got pregnant with my daughter. My weight went up to 230lbs on my date of delivery. With some light exercise, ppd, and anxiety my weight toggled between. 215and 230 until one morning I woke up and the scale said 240! I almost died. I did not come So far to just become morbidly obese again. So on June 1 2016 I began hitting the gym hard again! It's not easy working full time. Caring for my 8year old and 2 year old. And still finding the energy to work out like I used to. But I am motivated to get my old self back. So I have been drinking 2 meals and eating one meal daily for the past week. I have my restriction back! And I'm ready to reach my goals!

I had severe acid reflux (GERD). As a result, this is a recommended surgery because the sleeve will only make the condition worse.
Also, RNY gastric bypass is almost a gold standard. It has been around a lot longer and they have for the most part got the bugs worked out. It has one of the lowest revision rates and I decided if I underwent the knife once, I sure would not want to repeat the experience.

I haven't been on in awhile, it's not a real active forum. I enjoy reading the post when I do log in so I should make it a point to get on every day! I had gastric bypass 12-14 my beginning weight was 240lbs and as of today I'm 107lbs. Really I've finally stopped losing around 2 months ago. I got scared bc my intention was to get to around 125 and when I kept dropping I started freaking out all I thought about was if I didn't figure out how to stop it I would end up dying. I'm 42 yrs old 5'3 and I was starting to look like a meth user. I was a size 20/22 I am now in a size 0. I'm able to eat better and I do a lot of praying and talking to God.

Remember your tastes will change after surgery. That being said I find I like INSPIRE Protein by Bariatric Eating and I mix with unsweetened almond milk. The powder dissolves easily with NO chunks and the unflavored is great for use in Water with crystal light or any other flavoring a you want to use it with. They have several different flavored to choose from.
