The diet commanders that I know have gained massive weight back. This procedure is not to scare you away from food. Its to help you make better choices. I have a close family member who has maintained for years who has a snack every day but stays strict on everything else. I don’t think one Reese’s will harm you if you’re doing everything correctly. Some bad foods your body just won’t ever agree with again. I can’t tolerate hamburger meat. It’s the only thing that makes me vomit. I use to listen to people on here about carbs and limiting them when my nutritionist told me to not worry about carbs. Guess what? I stalled! I started consuming carbs and the weight began to drop so fast. So now I try to have a few crackers with my tuna or a low carb wrap. Just make better choices! Try searching for a healthier version of Reese’s.
It's personal choice. How strict or sack you want your diet to look. We all have different body physiology. Carbs and sugars may work for one person and not for others. No judgment for either routes if it get us to the same goal.
Does not matter what type of surgery or what food plan you have, Any of us can have weight gain. Surgery is not magic. This will be a lifetime of healthy choices.

Congrats on the finish, that sounds like one hell of a grueling run to me.
Thanks @BigViffer
The loop course is on paved roads with 1,181 feet of elevation gain over three hills. Still feeling it.

Fear of any surgical procedure is normal. You are ready for this and deserve to live a healthy life. We are here to support you.
Family can say some stupid things out of fear or ignorance. Hope they can be supportive with time.

Relationship changes are possible. But may not happen.
For me,
People that are supportive have stayed supportive in my life. Some friends are battling their own weight loss issues. They had a hard time seeing my success and the relationship changed. Others were never supportive and negative to begin with. I was happy to cut them from my life.
It's a strange phenomenon. We are still the same person with the same core values. The only changed is our size. It's interesting to sit back and notice how some people react to your body changing.

pouch reset is basically going back to liquids and starting over. If you feel it would help to get you back on track...Why not.

For the bariatric patients and potential bariatric patients reading the posters article. Please do your own research and fact check with your medical team about your specific diet plan.
@Creekimp13 eats the same amount of Protein as any other bariatric patient. She can agree, a bariatric diet is not high protein. It's also not 100% animal protein.
- You will not be eating 100% protein (exception first out Protein Shakes while you heal from surgery)
- You will progres to a variety of other foods.
- Not all of your protein comes from animal sources
- You will be adding Beans and fruits and vegetables as you progress out from surgery
- No one is on a NO carb diet. They will come from sources approved on your plan.
I will not respond to anymore of this thread. Its intent is clickbait, attention seeking and to cause drama.

The article say's "potential " adverse events that require monitoring and potential treatment. Risks with all medical procedures and disease. good information.
Complications with type two diabetes left untreated
“Diabetes is a condition expected to gradually progress over time. If type 2 diabetes goes untreated, the high blood sugar can affect various cells and organs in the body. Complications include kidney damage, often leading to dialysis, eye damage, which could result in blindness, or an increased risk for heart disease or stroke. Unfortunately, the effects of high blood sugars are not limited to this,” Dr. Aluri says.
Chronic conditions, like neuropathy (nerve damage), gastroparesis (issues with stomach emptying) can also develop. Diabetes mellitus, Dr. Aluri says, could kill someone if not diagnosed and managed properly. Extremely high blood glucose can even lead to coma (hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non-ketotic state).

26 minutes ago, FishOn said:Recently I got a new puppy and stopped going to the gym so I could do resistance band training at home with pup. I found myself not working out hardly at all and noticed muscles getting smaller and smaller. Even though I am at goal I still have more fat to lose and need to rebuild my muscles that have shrunk. I read somewhere that if you don't work the muscles the body will consume muscles before consuming the last fat. I believe I need to start lifting heavy to tear and rebuild muscle. Anyone experience this or have advice to offer?
@BigViffer and @BlueCrush can help you out with much of this. They lift and have great results.
I am a contradiction to weightlifters. I distance run and lift. I have burnt muscle in the past. It's not a healthy look for me. I have also built muscle and strength. For me it's keeping consistent with lifting. I also have to tweak my diet

30 minutes ago, Creekimp13 said:Research would say I am not inflating the issue.
Research also backs up my claim that getting most of your Protein from animal sources by severely restricting Protein rich carbs...might not be wise. Not to mention the Fiber you lose when you do this....that is important for healthy gut bugs.
I'm not correcting anyone. I'm putting some information out there. Take what you like, leave the rest:)
Leaving the rest.
Just wanted to represent to new patients that 60 to 100 is not high. I don't want to see unnecessary fear mongering.

You are inflating the issue. 60 to 100 is the norm. Same as you. The topic is creating an slanted view on how bariatric patients eat. But we can agree to disagree.
Again thanks for the info.

Happy Halloween!
Another year of candy temptation. Wow, pre surgery I could not wait for the leftover halloween treats. Things have changed and it's a great feeling. I've managed not to hand out andy each year. I'm taking the grand kids trick or treating at the zoo.
What are your ways of dealing with the temptation? Anyone rocking costumes after weight loss? photos please!!!!

Posted · Edited by skinnylife
It's your choice to follow Doctor's instructions to take care of an ER situation or ignore it. The only one who has to be happy with the outcome of that decision is you.
Can you get treatment for IBS from another DR?
All post/opinions are appreciated. Even when we don't agree on issues. Some of us are tough love others may be a softer tone. We are still here for the original poster out of concern.
