Gained 15 lbs. Help!



Recommended Posts

I'm 1 year a 7 months out and I've put on 15 lbs from my lowest and it's all in my tire. I have a wedding to attend this coming Saturday. So that gives me 5 good days for liquid diet and exercise. How much weight do you guys think I can lose in that period of time?? Has anyone ever been through this?

I'm only 3 months post op but-- at almost 2 years out you should have a better handle on this situation. I doubt there is much you will be able to do in 5 days. I suggest gaining control of your eating-- by following the guidelines provided to you post op. Start from there. You did not provide much in the way of info in terms of what behaviors led you to a 15 lb gain? What are you currently doing? Not sure if you are exercising-- meeting your Protein, or Fluid requirements? Are you taking in too many carbs, calories, over what period of time did this gain occur? You should still be closely monitoring your weight to make adjustments as necessary. In the meanwhile I would dust myself off and get a good Shapewear undergarment, wear an outfit that is flattering to your body type and start fresh. If necessary make an appt with your surgical team meet with your dietician review your current intake and relax you can do this.

You've come this far-- use the tool to your advantage the rest is up to you. I'm rooting for you!!!!!!

      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.
