Switched to rapid weight gain HELP

[serenamarie 0]

I have never posted before. I had RNY on July 3rd 2014. Weighed 237 when discharged got down to 140 by January. Have maintained that weight I think I go by clothes size I fit into a size 5/7 from 18/20. The 7s do not fit anymore. I all of a sudden have went back to a 11 large muffin top has developed I look pregnant pregnant belly sticking out. 2 weeks ago I had a flat stomach. Going to try 5 day pouch test. I am severely sad. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I would absolutely yo back to the basics. Start with the pouch test. Track everything you eat and drink, ensure the rules are in place:

Nothing to eat or drink 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after

Measure your food

64 oz. of Water

1 gram of Protein for every inch you are tall

Exercise - 30 minutes a day minimum

I would venture to guess if you go back and look you have let some of the basics fall off and that is why you are gaining,

This is what I would

Are you bound up? Have you had any health changes? If no, my guess is you've been ignoring the signs of weight creeping back--I've been there! I'm 5 years out and 140# down. I weigh twice a day and allow 2 pounds up or down. More than that for more than 3 days and it's diet time.

Journal--honestly. Where do you keep your food? Have you fallen back into old habits? Best wishes for you to find the power to beat the beast.

Would get some labs done, esp thyroid function, glucose. Are u near menopause?
