I'm 10 years post op. My pouch is still small bit I'm 268 pounds again. I need some help.

It's never too late to go back to basics. Why not make an appointment with your NUT (or a new NUT if your previous NUT is not available) to talk about your goals. Also, research on nutrition has brought quite a few changes in the last few years.

In the meantime:

track your food

focus on getting in at least 64 oz fluids

make sure you are getting in enough Protein (my Protein target is 100 grams, do you have a protein target?)

avoid added sugars (especially high fructose corn Syrup, starches, and fried foods

and, exercise

1gram of Protein for every inch you are tall should be the daily minimum. I am with @innersurfergirl

I would go back to the basics and start as if surgery was yesterday. Go back to liquids for a few days so that you flush toxins out.

Get rid of all the garbage in your house and if you are eating fast food, stay away from that.

That is what I would do.

I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. This is my impression of the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

This person is not at maintenance yet. It looks like they need to go back to basics to get themselves to goal as a start.

      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.
