I need help to get back in track



Recommended Posts

I had gastric bypass last May 25th. I did really well until I hit around 7 months I've noticed my stomach is stretching and I'm eating and drinking things I know I'm not allowed. Now I've gained 8-10 back and I'm so disappointed in myself. Is this normal? How do I get my pouch to shrink so I can continue losing weight to get to my goal. I've lost around 60 lbs but I still need to lost around 45 more lbs. I need some help on this.

Go back to basic liquid diet . Cut all the crap out go walking or biking gym 💪 The only one can stop this is urself be strong 💪

Personally I would just go back to eating right rather than liquids. Protein first, low carbs, no drinking after meals, tracking yourself and exercise. You won't have stretched your stomach, you are at the point where you can eat more anyway so it may feel like that but it won't be the case. You know what to do, so start now. Good luck!!

I had surgery 2004. And kept the weight off for 11 years but now have gained 50 back. Doctor says Liquid Protein for 14days. To reset the pouch. Than start eating right again. Be careful. You are eating through your bi pass. That's what I was told

At about 8 or 9 months the honeymoon period is over and u have to start watching what u eat. Go back to basics and exercise. Good luck! I gained 6 pounds at Xmas eating lotsa junk. I've lost it and am continuing to lose. Had to go back to basics and cut out grazing!

As a long time bi pass person 2004. I have now gained 50pounds. I will tell what the doctor told me last week. You have to reset your pouch. It that simple and that hard. Go back to 2weeks of liquid Protein diet. Than 2weeks of Breakfast and lunch shakes and dinner protein and fresh. Nothing else I hope this helps you. Keep me updated. It will come of. If you go by the plan but none of us think it is easy

      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.
