Recommended Posts

I’m in the same boat I’m 2 years out in March and I’ve regained exactly how much I’m to scared to look lately but it was 5kgs a few months back drinking alcohol has been the biggest issue as I get drunk fast but I use to never drink prior to surgery now I do every night except the last week I’ve stopped
I can also eat bread and chocolate and lollies I was sleeved and wish I had chosen RNY so I’d atleast get dumping and not continue to eat bad things
I snack all the time and don’t exercise I’m miserable I
Was self pay and cannot believe I’m having these issues now I was so good in the beginning so strict
Please let me k ow how your going with your weight loss

I will most definitely let you know how things are going with the weight loss. Snacking and drinking are my 2 biggest challenges as well, but I keep reminding myself of everything I sacrificed to lose the weight and I just can't let it fall by the wayside.

I find my self these last few days wishing I had chosen the RNY instead of sleeve as someone explained how there doctor explained how their doctor explained the two surgery’s and that was I’d you like sweet things and have no will power rny is for you if you can work out and a strict sleeve is for you no I find myself full of regret that I chose the wrong surgery

You beautiful women who did regain and are getting back on track: what would your advice be for those still in the losing months? For example, I am almost 6 months out, losing slowly but steadily. I don’t eat any carbs except natural ones like vegetables and potatoes. I focus on Protein. I don’t eat any sugar except a homemade granola made with seeds and oats that is made with a bit of maple, and I only eat 2.5 Oz of that a day. I do eat 85-90% dark chocolate, maybe 2-4 squares a day. Total calories around 1000 a day, total protein I try for 60 g a day, most days I make it. And I lose 1-2 lbs a week usually. I exercise but not as much as I want to.

I have given up almost all fruit (might have one bite a day), all dessert and breads and processed carbs. Do you guys think this is enough? If I could stay with this, would it prevent me gaining the weight I lose back? My only drink is Water, period. (I made a hot chocolate over the holidays with 85% dark chocolate bits mixed into hot milk, only drank 2 oz). No Desserts other than that dark chocolate.

if I stay away from the carbs will I be able to not regain? If you had avoided empty carbs, would you have not needed to re-lose? Thanks for the advice.

All if you sound awesome and look so good. I know you will get back on track. Much success to you!

      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.
