Regaining weight... please help



Recommended Posts

I had bypass surgery in June 2010... until March 2015 everything was well and I kept what I had lost. Since then I have been gaining weight and so far I have gained a little over half of what I first lost. Pleaseeeeee help me get down again, anyone has a good diet or something that can help me. Has anyone had the same problem??

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and this is my approach in the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Go back to the basics as if you had surgery yesterday. Are you following a high Protein, lower carb diet? Drinking a minimum of 48 to 64 oz of Water per day? Getting at least 1 gram of Protein for every inch you are tall?

Not drinking your calories or drinking with meals? Eating 3 small meals per day? No grazing......

Walking as much as you can.

What habits have you allowed back in?

I am only two years out and continue to struggle with maintenance. I gain a couple of pounds back and then lose it again over and over but for the most part I follow the rules and that is what helps me get control.

I would simply reset myself and see if that gets things moving again.

Why do we not eat and drink at the same time?

Is mushy food not the same thing?

Drinking diluted your stomach acid, which is ph of 1, or the most acidic on the ph scale.

Your stomach acid is responsible for quickly breaking down food, and drinking while ingesting food will impede its function.

Also, drinking liquids allows your stomach to stretch and hold more food in one sitting. It is the exact opposite effect that you want.

The dietician I work with said by not drinking when you eat it helps the Protein stay in your pouch longer and makes you feel full longer. I am not yet to the sweet spot in my restriction. I will need two to four more lapband fills before I know if this works on me.

Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
