Weight Gain After Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I am 2 yrs going on 3 in February post op. I lost a total of 60 lbs in the first year but re gained 45lbs that's a lot. In that time I went through a separation, relocated to a new state and fell back to my old eating habits  this is hard to admit but I need help again. I'm working on eating better however I need help, tips how do I start my weight loss again. BTW does anyone else feel hungry all the time?

Have you tried going back on the pre-op liquid diet for a month to see what that does.

Perhaps you'll be able to feel some restriction again afterwards.

I watched a vlog of a young lady who attended support groups of others who had WLS, perhaps you can find that in your area and get some face to face support as well.

I know how hard that can be. I'm experiencing the same thing. I have started making 5 small meals a day. However, staying on track has been difficult. I find that I need support to help me lose. I've joined a lot of WLS groups on Facebook and really try to stay connected. I am doing better and will continue to see support where ever I can find it.

If you want, we can exchange recipes, and be friends on a food tracking app. I'm using the Lose It app right now to track my foods.

You can do it! I know you can.

I would suggest you make an appointment with your NUT, find a good therapist, and go back to basics.

Your NUT can help you with a good eating plan and a therapist can help you learn new, healthy skills for coping with life changes and stress. See if the therapist who cleared you for surgery can see you or recommend someone who has experience working with bariatric patients.

A good book I read recently, called Eat It Up! might be helpful for you. It was written by a therapist who works with weight loss surgery patients.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Make sure you are reaching your Protein and Fluid goal daily.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended.

Exercise.

And, be patient with yourself and Embrace the Stall!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
