Hi,

I have never done a support group before so this is kinda scary to me. I had my bypass over 12 years ago. For the most part I have done well. My lowest weight was 140. Since then I have had 3 pregnancy's one which included a set of twins. I never gained much weight 15 lbs max for single preg and I only gained 30 with twins. I am older now 43 and have gained some weight back. 35 lbs if we are being honest. I have drank pop and have eaten things I probably shouldnt of. Is there a way after all this time to jump start my weight loss again? I have been trying to eat healthy and working out 3-5 x weekly at the gym. Just started keeping food diary again. I feel like I do when I was at my highest weight 274. Depression is setting in again and I don't know what else to do. Where I had my surgery never gave me good follow up. I always felt like I was in a factory that just pumped out the bypass but did nothing else. I am not one to usually share much of anyting with anyone. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Google pouch reset diet. It is basically starting at the liquid phase and progressing. I can't remember where I saw it but it was on a bariatric surgery page.

You just have to dive in and do it.

Remember why you had the surgery. I'm just 3 1/2 months out but my daughter keeps me on track. I'm 41 with a 4 year old. She needs a mother that can actively participate in her life. That alone keeps me on track. Just think of your children.

Go on Obesity Coverage and search the sight for the reset diet. I also just googled pouch reset diet and it was the first thing that came up. Good luck!!

Keep in contact with this support group, it can help you refocus.

go back to the basics and don't get down on yourself if you slip.

keep going.

Hi, so this is literally my first post in any type of support group. I had the roux-en-y in 2011 and am in the phase where I'm regaining weight and am now in like emergency panic mode. I just wanted to let you know that your post really made me feel not so alone. It's unfortunately nice to know that I'm not alone. I wish you the best of luck! Maybe we can be little support buddies lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
