3.5 years Post Op Weight Gain



Recommended Posts

I am 3 1/2 years post op, and did not really follow strict diet regulations, just ate smaller amounts of just about anything. In total, I had lost 106 lbs, but recently I have gained 35 lbs back. I am getting into bad habits of eating after suppertime again - always wanting to eat at night. Is it possible my pouch has stretched back out? Can I do something to make it smaller again?

your pouch probably has not stretched. try doing the pouch reset Plan. the first day drink a Protein shake for Breakfast snack lunch snack dinner and snack on the second day have a shake for breakfast one for snack one for lunch and then do not eat until about 6pm cook a 8 oz chicken breast and eat it slowly. when you start to feel full measure what is left. that will tell you what your pouch is holding. should be about 6 oz. good luck the plan is on the Bariatric Eating.com site along with two different plans to get rid of the regain.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
