Gained weight back, dont know what to do

[bphan88 0]

Hi all, I'm new to this place. But I had my surgery on my 20th birthday, when I was 385 lbs. In the eight years since my lowest was 240lbs, but I am back up to 292lbs! I'm freaking out! I know I leveled off pretty quick with my weight loss but I held steady for a long time. It wasnt until I started my birth control that I started to notice some weight gain. Of course it doesnt help that my job requires me to sit in front of a computer all day. I'm terrified because I'm getting back to the point where its hard to exercise and I dont know what diets to try or anything like that. I missed an appointment with my bariatric doctor only a few months after my surgery. I waited a few weeks to go back but they had moved apparently and then he retired, so I cant ask him. I have a new GP so hopefully she can help direct me down the right road. But has anyone else had this problem, with gaining back significant weight?

It seems like you are saying that you had gastric bypass surgery 8 years ago and gained some of the lost weight 52 pounds back. I am only 3 years post-op, so you are much further along than I.

I looked at the question "Does birth control cause weight gain?" This is a link to an article on the subject. https://bedsider.org/features/328-gaining-weight-is-it-the-birth-control
