Unfortunately, you didn't include a lot of information in your post. What kind of WLS did you have? What is your Protein and Fluid intake? Are you over eating or eating the wrong things? What about exercise? I would call your surgeon/Dr. and discuss your best options. Hopefully, they can give you better ideas as they know you better than I do. Good luck to you and keep us informed.

When I feel like my weight loss is slowing down, I go back to my post-op diet. 1 week full liquids (no more than 4 ounces of any liquid in one sitting, no chunks), 3 weeks of purees (1/4 cup per meal, no more than every 3 hours), soft solids for 3 weeks (again, no more than 1/4 cup), and then onto regular solids in a reduced portion size. No oils, mayo, butter, full fat cheeses, sugar, starchy vegetables, bread, rice, Pasta or wheat.

If you feel your problem is that you can't stop yourself from eating certain foods or large portions, it might be good to find a therapist who deals with overeating and binge eating. I know I couldn't be as successful as I am without my therapist!

The question that I have is why she is a year out and the surgeon didn't do something before now.
