weight gain after 5 years

Hi, I used to come here all of the time and get a lot of help from many wonderful people. I had my RNY 5 years ago. Ater many surgeries for complications I finally got straightened out. Now I'm having a problem: I have gained some weight (15 lbs.) I have been trying to lose the weight but am having difficulties. I'm trying the low calorie Healthy Choice way but it's not working. I am so out of the loop that I can't figure it out on my own. Can someone please help me???? I would really appreciate any information anyone can offer. Thanks! It's good to be back

I am newly pouched but have you tried going back to basics?

- Protein first
- No drinking with or 30 mins after meals
- No carbonated drinks
- At least 60g (100g from my surgeon) of protein
- At least 64oz of water/calorie-free beverage
- Only good carbs - no sugar / processed junk.
- Vitamins

HTH!

Thank you so much. You know, my first thought was protein. That was key in the beginning but so easy to stray from. I have noticed that low calorie doesn't cut it, so it must be the protein that I need to keep with. I don't have to worry about too much sugar because I dump from it. I didn't at first but have since developed problems with it.  I do my vitamins and lots of water. Thank you again for responding and reaffirming what I believed (proteins!)

don't forget the exercise and watch those carbs!!!  This will help also.   You can do this!!

Don't forget the Memorial Hospital support group on the first Monday of each month.  Don't know if you have gone...It meets in the back of McHenry Village.  Open to all.
