I had gastric bypass on march 2013 I gained weight back how can I lose it again?

Google the 5 day pouch test. It helps to get you back on track. One oft girlfriends had bypass 10 years ago and gained 20+ I told her about this and it has helped her. Good luck you can get back on track.

Also a great tool that is helpful is an ebook I recently read. It's a great before/after read for anyone going through WLS.

It's called : 'Pratical Advice for Lifetime Maintenance After Baritric Surgery' by Pamela Harrelson. Her journey on how she gained it all back, lost again, etc and how to acheive a balance is amazing! It's a quick read and so easy to follow!

Good Luck

Thanks hun ima look now

It might be time to start thinking about seeking professional help from someone who specializes in addiction and/or eating disorders to help with the underlying issues that may be part of the problem. *HUGS*

(I'm like a broken record)

Check this link out and watch animation video. They came out with this 2 yrs ago.

Folly - You Rock!

I have gained 30 lbs back from the 70 I lost and am seeking counseling. Sure hope it helps. It is my last resort.

It may take some time to unravel what's going on. Please don't get trapped into "all or nothing" thinking. As long as you're breathing there's hope darling.

If I can offer you any support please reach out to me :-)

Thank You, Folly

Thanks so much

I really like looking at before pictures that people post... is it just me or aren't most of the people on this site beautiful BEFORE and after surgery/weight loss?

They sure look happier after .... And sometimes younger⭐️

Folly I agree with you. I think it's a slippery slope to give so much praise to people's after pictures. Of course they have worked so hard and we want to applaud them!! But it seems like it has this underlying message that before you didn't you look great. And when someone does gain some or all the weight back- then what? Is the message they do not look great?

We are all beautiful in every shape and size. It's how we feel inside that really matters. But I know - that is easier said than done.

Lost 117 lbs. after my surgery in 2013. Have maintained loss until just recently. Have now gained back 10 lbs. and I need to nip this in the bud. Seems as though I am always hungry (or maybe bored) lately and I can't seem to get a handle on my cravings. I do drink grapefruit juice, watch my sugar intake, take my multis, Probiotics, fish oil, etc. daily, but still graze constantly during the day. I am 74 and not terribly active but I do try to move around frequently however have a bit of a problem with being somewhat unsteady on my feet. At this rate I'll never reach my goal weight of 170-175 lbs. Can anyone give me some advice before I go back to where I started. My email address is sbowen3195@aol.com and I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. Had a problem registering on this site so an email contact would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

So glad to see I am not the only one who has gained weight. I am post-op sleeve of 2 years and in the last 2 months I have slowly creeped up from 173 to 193 this morning. It is so frustrating because I am not gorging on food and even still I have those certain foods I can't eat due to the sleeve.

I feel like a complete failure. I recently had a formal event to attend and went from trying on the size 16 dresses that I should be in to having to by a 2 XL dress .. I was in tears while trying on those dresses. I had a beautiful formal at home that I had hoped to wear but it would not fit at all!

I am trying the natural supplements to help with glucose metabolism and carbs etc. Just started them this week.
I am still on the same dose of Thyroid medication I was on prior to surgery.

Worried to death that I have stretched out my pouch, just consumed by this lack of weight loss and now weight gain when I see other sleevers and bypasses losing 100lbs in the first year or less. .

I wanted to do the pouch test but the nutritionist at my surgeons office said that it would not be

good for me to do this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
