Hello everyone, I'm new to this page but had my RNY 5 years ago. Unfortunately I've gained most of the weight back. I'm on a mission though to get healthy again. Any advice on getting back on track?. I will be starting over with liquids this week and I've done that before with success but just don't have that fear or willpower like I did post op.

Welcome to the group. Do you have a dietician? Do you still see your surgeon yearly for check up? What do they tell you? I'm 6 months post up. Never gain 1lb back I'm down 84lbs. I try to eat as healthy as possible. I'm lacking on exercise which I should kick my own ass for. Have you done the pouch test? I heard it works.

I would like to blame it on birth control pills but I had it to do with it too! My journey post op never included exercise... First no no! I started snacking on crackers, chips and popcorn. although I drank diet soda, soda is a no no! It will stretch your pouch... Them eating junk becomes regular so in the last year or two I've gained 50-70 pounds.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
