Starting to gain the weight back help



Recommended Posts

Hi Tammy, Sorry to hear about your stroke! Glad that you are healthy again and ready to start back on track-that motivation is generally the hardest part about weight loss. I, unfortunately, have only recently been sleeved so I am unfamiliar with what advice might be the most helpful. This forum has been extremely helpful to me thus far so I am sure there will be lots of assistance. Keep your chin up!

after my stroke in June I started gaining my weight back and now I need help to restart my diet. What can I do to start to loss this weight

Hi Tammy and welcome! So sorry about your struggles!! ((hugs)) How scary!

Give us some info about yourself! How far post op, what stage you're in, what you're eating, how much, what your doctor recommends. If it was me, I'd make sure to involve not only my cardiologist but also my surgeon and RD with formulating this plan and also a plan for PT and then daily movement and exercises! You need all of those things and it's way more complicated than I can probably tell you.

I know you will get it figured out!! We're here to help you!!

Why do they think you had a stroke after losing your weight?

Just wondering are you assuming that weight loss caused the stroke? Hopefully Tammy just doesn't think they know what caused the stroke but hopefully the medical care team where able to give Tammy a good indication what caused it.

      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.
