Regaining weight... please help

[eajk0709 0]

I had bypass surgery in June 2010... until March 2015 everything was well and I kept what I had lost. Since then I have been gaining weight and so far I have gained a little over half of what I first lost. Pleaseeeeee help me get down again, anyone has a good diet or something that can help me. Has anyone had the same problem??

I m no expert and didn't have surgery as of yet. But have you tried keeping a food diary ? Exercising ? Any change of circumstances ?

I had RNY gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and this is my approach in the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Go back to the basics as if you had surgery yesterday. Are you following a high Protein, lower carb diet? Drinking a minimum of 48 to 64 oz of Water per day? Getting at least 1 gram of Protein for every inch you are tall?

Not drinking your calories or drinking with meals? Eating 3 small meals per day? No grazing......

Walking as much as you can.

What habits have you allowed back in?

I am only two years out and continue to struggle with maintenance. I gain a couple of pounds back and then lose it again over and over but for the most part I follow the rules and that is what helps me get control.

I would simply reset myself and see if that gets things moving again.

Why do we not eat and drink at the same time?

Is mushy food not the same thing?

Drinking diluted your stomach acid, which is ph of 1, or the most acidic on the ph scale.

Your stomach acid is responsible for quickly breaking down food, and drinking while ingesting food will impede its function.

Also, drinking liquids allows your stomach to stretch and hold more food in one sitting. It is the exact opposite effect that you want.

I have gained back 35 pounds and I don't know what to do either.

The dietician I work with said by not drinking when you eat it helps the Protein stay in your pouch longer and makes you feel full longer. I am not yet to the sweet spot in my restriction. I will need two to four more lapband fills before I know if this works on me.

Had lapband surgery 10/12/16
