2 years out from RNY and need advice!

[tkuch 28]

Hello everyone, I am two years out from having my RNY surgery. At first I felt like everything was going great and it really isn't to bad. But in the last couple of weeks I have put on 4 pounds and I am freaking out about it. I feel like I have failed this surgery. I just need some help and encouragement to get me back on track and lose this 4 pounds I put on and 15 more that I wanted to lose after surgery. Any one else put on weight 2 plus years out? And if so where you able to take it back off and how did you do it? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I am only a week post op. But my surgeon told me to weight daily. If I gain 3 lbs that is a fluctuation and if I gain 4 lbs its an actual weight gain. Gaining the weight back is the biggest fear for me since I had the lap band and lost 100 lbs then gained back 87bs when my band slipped and they removed all the saline.

I see everyone post - go back to the basics. That is what I would advise. Do you use a food journal or diary like MyFitnessPal? If so, continue tracking everything. If not, then start. Focus on Protein. Cut our all refined carbs - sugar, flour, bread, etc. Hold off on the rice and Pasta for awhile. Make sure you are getting in enough Water each day. Google five day pouch test. Read up on that and try that. Check your exercise/activity level. If you have stopped exercising, start back again. That is what I would do if I were in your shoes.
