Topic: RE: Help weight gain
A couple of things, eating the right stuff, but is it the right amount? Do you still measure everything? Do you keep track of every calorie you eat? Are you drinking calories? Are you eating sugar?
Yes it is possible for the surgery to fail, very rare though. There can be other problems too. Thyroid is one. Hace you been having your labs done?
One of the things with the weightloss is that the empty fat cells are still there and want to be filled. So unless you had plastics, they are going to try to hord fat. So even a little sway from the path with cause weight gain.
The number one reason for failure of this surgery is eating sugar. From day one, we absorb every bit of it. Second is drinking your way out, protein drinks are a great example. They were a help at first, but they are high in calories. We can drink alot more because it goes right thru. Booze is another thing to watch out for. As you get intoxicated, your choices turn bad. You end up drinking more in calories than you realize.
But the biggest thing is keeping up with your doc. It sounds like you might not be doing this. If you are imbarrassed about the weight gain, as some have been, stop sabatoging yourself. The only one who can really help is your doc. So give them a call. Make sure you have a detailed list of everything you eat in a day, amounts are important.
Hope you find the answer.

Hi Ronna,
So good to see your smile....thanks for your note. I did not think of food poisoning. A friend of mine wont eat at that restaurant as she says she got something there once. I've thrown away everything. Today I am still a little quesy but better, just finished a protein shake. The memory of last night still lingers and that makes me a bit spooked.
Appreciate your insight and love, as always.
Hugs,

Geeze Tif,
Sounds like you may have caught a bug or had a bit of food poisoning. The vomiting and diarrea is the clue.
You can get lots of gas from veges but not to the extent you discribed. If it doesn't clear up today please call the doctor.
Feel better.
Sending hugs {{{{{{{{{{{{{{Tiffany}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Ronna Topic: Night from Hell.....
Last night was so painful I almost went to the hospital but knew what was happening. My abdomen felt like it was going to explode. When I had the hernia/skin removal, my surgeon put mesh around my entire abdominal cavity so there's no where for gas to go. The belly button felt like it was going to shoot across the room.
Here's what happened.....
A deli I like had that South Beach cauliflower dish, the one that is cooked and then pureed. I thought - YUM and ate a cupful in the late afternoon. For dinner I ate eggplant with tofu from the chinese place. Soft foods, nothing excessive in quantity. I waited an hour to drink anything, too.
Turned in about 10pm and a half hour later I woke up doubled over in pain. Finally I got dressed and went walking around the neighborhood, 2x, which helped a bit. Once I got home again, it intensified so I did the only other thing I could think of, fingers on the back of my throat. I puked and was instantly better. :puke:
Then it started again around 3am, this time with dirreah. Throughout all this I was eating Tums like crazy which helped. I fell asleep propped in a sitting like position. This morning, more dirreah. I ate a few bites of cottage cheese and that's working fine. The swelling has just about disappeared. I am getting ready to take another walk.....
I guess I ate too many veggies at a time, especially the cauliflower - this was the first time I'd eaten it since surgery. I do regularly eat beans and have no problem with them. My throat hurts from puking which I know is not good to do - and something I only resorted in in an emergency. It was an experience a bit worse than the time I ate some white rice followed by water......
I dont really ever have complications but this came out of nowhere and was mighty. Today I am sticking to protein drinks and soup.
Hope your weekends are enjoyable!!
