Diet, A Couple Of Years Out

Hey everyone,

I'm a couple of years out from my DS, and I've put on about 10lbs and not liking it. Not so much from a size perspective but my pants are tight and I feel bloated.

So I want to lose the 10 pounds again, and am not sure how to go about it.

What do you guys eat this far out? 

Thanks! 
 

 My best advice to you would be to go high protein, low carb. However, remember that it's normal to put on 10-20 lbs "bounceback" at 2-4 years out, as your body "settles." It sucks, though! And just because it's normal, doesn't mean we have to like it! I haven't been able to ever get back down to my lowest, but I am able to drop 5 now and again by going high protein, very low carb.

Good luck!

 Thanks for the advice. I'm going to try that for sure! 
 

Some of us "maintainers" and some folks who are trying to loose regain/rebound post on the bites and vites thread what we eat.

I've been seriously trying to loose a 10 lb regain for 5-6 weeks by keeping my carbs under 50 with limited success.  I may have lost 3-4 lbs of that 10. 

I'm sticking with the very low carb plan until the end of July and then am going to reassess.

 It's a challenge eh? I've been baking up a storm. I'm going to have to settle down with that! 
 

Hey dude!
You are looking great man. I would do the low-carb + high-protein like most have suggested. If you are able to cut your carbs to under 20g, you should be able to lose it in under a month. Let us know how it goes and thanks for the update on your status. It's great to see you again.

 Thanks Derek! You're looking good too! Congrats on your loss! i'll keep you posted for sure! 
 

Well hello Angus...been a while now. You are looking wonderful hun. I have also experienced some regain and have been totally freaking out about it. I don't have advice for you on how to lose it as I am in the same boat of trying to figure it out. Two years post-op feels great if only the regain didn't occur. I am going to also try to alter the diet to the low carb-high protein as suggested.
(baking has to stop at this house too...lol)
Good luck to you hun, you can do it

How did you gain the 10?  I often wonder if it is the diet or the body readjusting to things that makes us gain.

Now that I am almost 2 years out, I want to stay right around where I am at.  Don't want to lose any more, but don't want to gain it either. 

Slippery slope, I guess...

 I did the same thing Angus .. I am 2.5yrs out and gained 10lbs! I don't like it either! It freaks me out and scares me because I do NOT want to be that person again!
