2 Years Post Op Have Gained 8 Pds Back And Scared



Recommended Posts

I reached my target weight within in less than a year of the surgery. I was told in fact by the doctor and others to add a little more food portions to my diet. I did but may be to much. Now I can drink soda. It takes me all day to drink one can. I feel hungry all day now when before I never even felt hungry. I seem to like to eat carbohydrates a lot and not the healthy kind. I in fact have eaten everything bad for me so I could gain a few pounds back because at my goal weight I looked very unhealthy. Ive always been muscular. So when at a tiny size people thought I was sick. So I got tired of hearing it and worked hard to gain 8 pounds back but I feel terrible and notice my appetite has increased. Now I'm scared that I've ruined my sleeve. Im over 2 years post op so I guess I'm in for some changes

You've not ruined your sleeve. You just gained what you needed to. Perhaps do the 5 day pouch test or 5 days of Protein Shakes, meats, nuts, etc, to break the carb cravings. Then introduce healthy whole grains back in one at a time to maintain your new weight. Congrats on your success thus far!

Maybe you should see a dietician to help you get back on track without getting too small (skinny). You are already winning the battle since you are recognizing what your doing wrong. Don't worry just try and focus a bit you'll get right back on track!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
