Weight Gain

[sweetpea51 3]

I am a year post op and am gaining weight. Are there others who this has happened to and what can I do to get back on track? I only lost 52 pounds in a years time and feel as if I lost control over my eating. Exactly how much should I be eating per meal - how much Protein? 3 ozs meat? 1 cup of veggies? Can someone help me out? I was told to "reset" my pouch by starting the 5 day diet - liquids on the first day, etc. Thanks!

What's your current eating look like? I would contact your nutritionist asap. They would be best suited to help you.

Do you track your food intake on something like MyFitPal?

If you don't (track your food on an app like MFP) -- start doing it. Set a calorie target, set macro targets, and see what works. My pre-op diet was 1,200 kcals, 3 meals plus one snack, and I loved it. It would be useful to know what your starting weight and height were.

A big factor that people miss is that as we get older and as we get thinner our Basal Metabolic Rate decreases, and we *NEED* To make sure we take that into account. As stated, if you are having issues, TRACK TRACK TRACK! If you are burning more than you are consuming then you WILL lose weight. As far as intake, everyone is going to be very different, but you still should focus on hitting your Protein goal first before ANY other foods, and you still need to be consuming upwards of 128oz of Water a day... can't lose fat if you don't have the water required for your body to process the fat.

Now, you posted in the Bypass section, but your description says you are a lap band patient. Do you have the band or have you revised to the Bypass?
