Gaining weight back

I don't.

Exactly my point. I like that all kinds of support are given because we are all different and need different styles. I needed that style so I'm glad that it is here for others who do. There's plenty of all styles.

  • Go back to food tracking,
  • Make sure you are getting your 64 oz of Water,
  • get back to doing your 10K steps or whatever exercise level you are at,
  • cut your carbs,
  • increase your Protein.
That's what I do when I want to really drop the lbs.


This is the general advice usually given. But the OP, should she ever return, says she doesn't eat any carbs and does all those things. So we are trying to get more detail from her to help her specifically.

If she is doing all those things and still gaining, she should visit her doctor. Probably not a bad idea anyhow.

This is kind of random now and maybe also off topic but this irks me since a whole while: general advice is given.

What happened to "diagnosis before treatment"?

When it comes to problems with gaining/stalls/etc. that have likely to do with food intake (or maybe supplement intake as well) I think the first advice should be that evaluation is necessary, i. e. "food tracking" and if there is a problem identified: "why is that problem there?".

Everything else comes later.

I think she comes across as straight talking, no nonsense helpful.

We all respond to different things. Those kinds of responses were exactly what HELPED me in my early days. So I am glad there are all kinds of responses on here.

It's a bulletin board. Short of people being overtly nasty, which she is not, we all need to learn to take what's useful to us and leave the rest! Just my humble opinion.

Thank you. I won't bother to respond. If people think I'm rude they know were the block button is. But I have no intention to take 'advice' on how I come across over the internet lol. [emoji4] I know I mean nothing but positive vibes to everyone. And I have no reason to be rude to strangers I don't even remember after I've spoken to them.

      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.
