I am in my fifth year since the weight loss surgery. As of today; 25lbs gained and very depressed about it. I don't eat a lot because most foods make me feel like I need to vomit, so I drink a glass of red Wine or a ginger ale. I purchased the 5 day Pouch book and plan to start officially tomorrow. However need the accountability for to be successful. HELP with ideas to stay on track to loss this weight. I know it's doable, but having support makes it easier. Has anyone experienced gaining weight from drinking red wine or ginger ale?

nope.

in fact, i don't think alcohol and sugary soft drinks have been a problem for anyone but you...

I doubt red wine and ginger ale (regular or diet?) are the sole factors in your weight gain (though neither is a great idea, as you no doubt know). I'd suggest going back to MyFitnessPal or a similar app to log everything you eat and drink and see how the calories stack up.

5-Day pouch reset is a fad diet/scam. It was invented as a marketing tool for a bariatric center to sell products.

Drinking red wine and soda will not help you get back on track if you're trying to lose weight. Instead, you need to focus on healthy, not processed food, and track your calories in an app like MyFitnessPal.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
