I had gastric bypass last May 25th. I did really well until I hit around 7 months I've noticed my stomach is stretching and I'm eating and drinking things I know I'm not allowed. Now I've gained 8-10 back and I'm so disappointed in myself. Is this normal? How do I get my pouch to shrink so I can continue losing weight to get to my goal. I've lost around 60 lbs but I still need to lost around 45 more lbs. I need some help on this.

Go back to basic liquid diet . Cut all the crap out go walking or biking gym ? The only one can stop this is urself be strong ?

Thank you. I'm starting that tomorrow. And yes you're right. Only I can change this.

Personally I would just go back to eating right rather than liquids. Protein first, low carbs, no drinking after meals, tracking yourself and exercise. You won't have stretched your stomach, you are at the point where you can eat more anyway so it may feel like that but it won't be the case. You know what to do, so start now. Good luck!!

Don't do that beachwalker4rny # I am eating a lot of cabbage right now and well... it's worse than sprouts!

LOL!!

I had surgery 2004. And kept the weight off for 11 years but now have gained 50 back. Doctor says liquid protein for 14days. To reset the pouch. Than start eating right again. Be careful. You are eating through your bi pass. That's what I was told

At about 8 or 9 months the honeymoon period is over and u have to start watching what u eat. Go back to basics and exercise. Good luck! I gained 6 pounds at Xmas eating lotsa junk. I've lost it and am continuing to lose. Had to go back to basics and cut out grazing!

As a long time bi pass person 2004. I have now gained 50pounds. I will tell what the doctor told me last week. You have to reset your pouch. It that simple and that hard. Go back to 2weeks of liquid protein diet. Than 2weeks of breakfast and lunch shakes and dinner protein and fresh. Nothing else I hope this helps you. Keep me updated. It will come of. If you go by the plan but none of us think it is easy

I am trying to do this now. After eating like a pig. Liquid protein is very hard I am still on week 1 so. Wish me luck

I think that is a very good idea! I'm gonna start that on Monday.
