I've been horrible on my diet since June.. Sweets, carbs .. You name it.. My ouch had hated me and yet I don't learn. I gained 3 pounds and have tried to find a support group in Pittsburgh area. My question is, should I be talking to my doctor about pouch stretching or testing to are if it's happened? I can eat more now that I'm 10 months out.. I had 3 pieces of small pizza (home made) and a half hour later had a sugar- free cupcake.. So I'm failing somewhere.. I'm worried my pouch is damaged or possible gone. Should I contact my surgeon?

You can try the 5 day pouch test. If you Google it, it will pop up.

Meanwhile, you can try going back to basics and also logging your daily food intake. A call to your Nut. would help, as well.

You need to find out why you are doing this.. All of the above are great suggestions but until you get a hold of why your mind is doing this you will continue to Sabotage yourself!! Good luck

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
