I don't know what do to



Recommended Posts

It has been going on three years since my sleeve was done. I was doing great for little over two years. Then I started putting weight back on I went from. 210 to now weighing 285. I am so depressed over this weight gain. My doctors office said it happens, but I have to jump back to losing again. I excerize. Go for walks. Watch what I eat. Try to keep my Protein up. Anyone have any ideas what i else I can try.

Have you met with a nutritionist recently to review your food and exercise? Do you weigh and track your food and beverages? Do you consume "slider foods"? I am pre-op, but these are all important things that have been discussed with me numerous times with my nutritionist, surgeon, and in my local support group.

I hope you can get the guidance that you need soon.

How many calories do you take in per day? Protein? Carbs? How much Water do you drink each day? Do you track your food and drink? I ask these questions because it is hard to give advice without more information.

Thank you. Sorry I didn't get much info on that before. I drink about 60 to 100oz of Fluid a day. I did talk to a nutritionist and keep logs of what I eat. We found that my salt intake was high, so we changed that real fast. I try to eat fresh food that I have to prepare for myself. But rare occasions I go out to eat. I walking a lot or doing excerizing at home or the gym.

My Protein in take is 50 to 105g. Depends on if my stomach is handling food that day. I can't handle starchy food at all. So try not to rematch them.

Recently I had oral surgery done and can't chew foods at all. So been doing soft foods. Or Protein Shakes. Trying to watch my values been close to 1700

      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.
