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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
