Congratulations on your surgery. I had mine may 30, 2012. I can't eat much. I was told over time your stomach grows or something like that. Have you change the way you eat compare to the first time after surgery when you began to eat normal food? Are you cheating fast food restaurant? Drinking diet or regular soda? Not exercising? I'm not an expert but I was told we get comfortable in our body & start doing the no no stuff & end up gaining weight.

Almost everyone I know that has had the surgery loses a lot (if not too much) and ends up gaining like 20lbs back

I agree. I don't think 20 pounds is a whole lot. Just keep an eye on things so you don't keep gaining.

What's the outcome? Did you see the dietician to figure the weigh gain?

Thanks everyone for all of your responses I no longer have a dietician I have moved away since I had my surgey. That is why I have been looking for some hel[p with answers. I do think I need to excercise more but I dont have energy because I'm severly anemic. And on top of that I am always hungry. I take the 20lb weight gain serious I have a long life ahead of me and I need to be healty for my family

Hi Kida

I had RNY in July 08 and after about a year and a half I stopped losing... Which was fine because everyone kept telling me I was getting too skinny. But I too have gained back some weight which is around 30lbs. I know it's because I eat a whole lot more and I stopped working out. I know I need to get back on track so thats why I'm so glad I found this forum. Im also am severely anemic. I have to get Iron intravenously every two weeks. Iron pills and supplements don't give me what I need. But I think the key to getting back is to start some kinda of work out regime and get back into planning meals.

Is this level of anemia normal?

I am 8 years post op and have been anemic for 7 of them. I have met many that are not, so I guess it is individual.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
