Hi,

I had my RNY 2 years ago July. I just gave birth to twins in Feb. I gained almost 40lbs and have successfully lost almost most of it. However, I am now at a MAJOR stall and having a HORRIBLY difficult time getting back into the swing of things as a WLS patient. I tried to do the 5DPT but having newborns and being sleep deprived, I was in the worst mood and didn't feel I could take care of my girls well enough, so I stopped. I believe I need to do it again, I did it once before and it worked wonders, I am just afraid of failing again and not being the best mommy I can be.

I was apart of a different support group on FB, but that turned out to be so much drama, although, I did learn alot from them and it was helpful, I just couldn't stand the consitant battle between people and the disrespect, so I left. Now I feel alone. I feel like I have no one on my side and no one that can help me get back on track. My family doesn't understand because they can eat whatever the way and not gain freaking weight. UGH!

Any ways, I am reaching out for help. Can someone please help me get back on track. Can someone please be my go to person, be my advocate, my mentor. PLEASE!!!

Thank you,

Kristin

Hi Kristin!

I'm not sure how I can help, but I am here if you need someone. I am 16 months post-op and currently in maintenance mode.

My cousin who has also had WLS also had twins after and is I. The process of trying to get her baby weight off. She had mentioned to me doing the post op diet as she had right after surgery starting with the liquid then puréed... So on and so forth... I'm sure it will be a bit of a challenge, but it seems like something good to consider... Just a suggestion. Keep us posted on what you find that works good for you. I'm sure many will find those tips useful.

Yeah I was thinking about doing the 5DPT test again to get my restriction back and to detox my self from the carbs and all that YUMMY stuff. I have GOT to do something. If I am going to start that, it will be on Monday. That way I can be grumpy and irritated at work and not at home with my girls and husband.

you have come to the right place! i ha e learned so much from this site. Most of the time people show love and respect. I don't do the drama thing myself. I totally understand wanting to get away from that. You did well during your pregnancy…only 40 pounds with twins is not bad. I agree with going back to the basics. You'll be right back where you need to be before you know it. We're all cheering you on.

Happy Losing,

Well...I am started the 5 day pouch test. It has been a real challenge. But I think it's going to be all worth it. I made an initial menu and then I had to do some more research to see what others did while do their 5dpt. I am writing in my blog about it. I am not sure if we are allowed to put our blogs on here, but if you are interested in ready my blog, please let me know and I will give you the link.

I would love to read you blog <3
