Stuck with no metabolism



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 7 years ago and it was very successful. I went from over 300 to 200. At some point I was having terrible heartburn and they had to take all my Fluid out. I gained 50 pounds in 50 pounds in 4 months. Once I started getting fills I was able to get back down to 200. Last spring, I once again had to have the fluid removed for almost 6 months and again gained 50-60 pounds. I have my fluid again but this time I am not losing any weight. I am maintaining. I am as full as I can go as I am eating the appropriate amount and am not hungry and even now get periodic heartburn and certainly don't want to go back to no fluid and gain more weight and end up back where I was 7 years ago. How do I jumpstart my metabolism?

I have seen others suggest 3 days of Protein Drinks 3x a day to reset your band...
Please tell me if this works if you do decide to try it.
Best of luck.
You've done it twice. You can do it again and get back to where you are comfortable.

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

      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! 😞
