Excessive weight regain

[tinbriorchard@yahoo.com 1]

After my two year anniversary which was oct 2014 i starting gaining weight. Ive gain 70lbs since then. What can be wrong?

[James Marusek 5,244]

When I asked my nutritionist, why some people who undergo surgery, lose a lot of weight then regain some or all the weight back. Her response was grazing. Grazing means to eat small portions of food, as appetizers or the like, in place of a full-sized meal or to snack during the course of the day in place of regular meals. A regain of 70 pounds is a lot. It will be hard to lose that much weight again.

Some causes of weight gain are associated with medication. Some of the prescription medicine that can cause uncontrollable weight gain are:

Anti-Depressants

Birth control pills

Hormones for hormone therapy

Steroids

Beta-blockers

Anti-seizure medication

Tamoxifen

Some treatments for rheumatoid arthritis

Treatments for migraines

Heartburn medications

Some medical conditions that can also cause weight gain are:

Hypothyroidism

Cushing's Syndrome

Not enough sleep

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Preganancy

What can be wrong? Who knows. Without more information about what you are doing it's impossible to say. My guess is that you aren't following your program and are eating too much. That is generally why we gain weight.

At the end of the day isn't still all about calories in, calories out?

for most people, grazing, drinking too soon after eating, and/or not sticking to the plan are the biggest contributors

Im eating small meals/snacks a day. I dont even get dumping syndrome anymore. I can only eat a half cup at a time for a meal. I am on alot of meds which can cause gain but this much?

I'm in a similar situation. Completely my fault. Is there a pouch reset by going back on fluids? Does anyone know?

Why not make an appointment with your NUT?

Are you tracking your food?

Are you reaching your Protein and Fluid target every day?

Are you taking your Vitamins?

Without specific information no one can help you answer your question.

You should probably talk to your NUT and make a plan to get back on track. Sounds like you went off the rails somehow. Maybe it's food choices, or slacked off with exercise, or started taking a medication that is effecting your weight, but it's better to see the NUT now and not wait until everything has piled back on and your only choice is a revision of some sort.

Small meals and Snacks definately add up. Especially if they are empty calories.

Have you tried going back to the basics? If it were me, I would start with the 5 day pouch test which basically puts you on the liquid diet as if you had surgery yesterday. Then I would focus on:

Making sure you are getting your Protein - 1 gram for every inch you are tall

Get your Water - 48 to 64 oz. every day

Take your Vitamins and get your macronutrients checked via your doc

Follow the rules - no drinking 30 min before and 30 min after

I would literally start over.

Oh and don't forget to track your food and excercise. That is absolutely key when you are struggling.

I honestly thought about doing that. I think i may try it. Thx

I have hit a major stall with a slight gain. Going back to basics. liquid, soft & mushy. I'm doing it all your cer again.

Good luck.
