shleybeevsg reacted to Kindle in Gaining Weight
Go back to basics. Whatever you did that first year after surgery, do it again. I regained 10 pounds in my 4th year from obvious poor food choices. Sure, my restriction is far less than it was the first two years, but it was the type of food I was eating, not the amount, that caused the regain. I had gotten happy and lazy and ignored all the Bariatric "rules" that had helped me lose 100 pounds and maintain for 3 years. Once I realized where I was headed, I went straight back to my proven weight loss high protein/low carb meal plan, added Protein Shakes back in and greatly increased my Water intake. Dropped those 10 pounds in a couple months.
good luck! You can do this.

I don't think shakes would resize your pouch. It just helps you feel your restriction again. Same thing as the pouch reset diet.

I also had a gain in my 3rd year. Here are some things to try. (just suggestions)
Where to start?
Start now or on Jan 1st 2018 for new years! You can get the weight back down to maintain. Weight loss is slower as you get further out from surgery.
Weight loss takes work. We have two choices. Go through the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
Get back to the rules (bariatric basics)
log food hit calorie ,protein goals and low carb (whatever your surgeons plan is) drink lots of Water exercise If basics are not working this is something to try:
Goto the TDEE calculator below
https://tdeecalculator.net/
It will calculate your calories, Protein and carbs based on your sex, height, weight, and activity level. (don't enter body fat)
click [CALCULATE]
This will give you your maintenance calories on the top right. Scroll down to macro nutrients
You will see three tabs [maintaining] [cutting] bulking]
Click [CUTTING]
It will show your cutting/weight loss calories
Below you will see three macorutien boxes with three carbohydrate ratios
Start with the low carb macros. Set these new macros into your food log app (myfitnesspal)
it will take dialing in your macros to see what point your body starts to lose weight. (I had to set my exercise level on step below my real activity level to get macros for my body to lose weight loss)
Merry christmas!
