Has anyone gained the weight back?



Recommended Posts

Congrats on your baby!

So the first thing I would do is go see your original surgeon and talk to them. Find out your options and see if she will order tests to try to dx if you have a tool problem. I don't see any of your profile information. So it's really hard to offer constructive thoughts?

Welcome back.

good idea the above poster had on checking with your surgeon. Your tool will still work - you'll probably need to go back to basics to get things moving again (not all the way back to a liquid diet - that's not really sustainable - but eat Protein first, then non-starchy veggies, then, if you have room, a small fruit or small "healthy" carb serving (e.g., whole grain things, oatmeal). From what I understand, the weight loss will be much slower than it was the first time around, but you can lose it as long as you stick to your program.

I dont think its actually working as my absorption seems to be back to normal. I watch what I eat and I'm still gaining weight

I'd love to have a baby but I'm afraid I won't be able to "eat for two". Can you PM me? I need to talk to someone who has been there, to guide me through there...

Eating for 2 is a myth. Concentrate on losing your weight first then have a baby. All you have to do is "eat correctly to nourish you." The baby will get its nutrition with or without your help. It will take from your body. And most of us have enough nutrient stores in our bodies to nourish a child.

      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.
