No. I've NEVER had this issue. I've had the opposite. Fighting 20 lbs weight regain.

thankyou for that it would be easier to be on a food than optifast.
Generally a man needs 12 calories per day to maintain one pound and a woman needs 10 calories per day to maintain one pound.
For a woman to maintain 150 pounds, they will need to eat 1500 calories.
For a man to maintain 150 pounds, then will need to eat 1800 calories.
It does not make a lot of difference where those calories come from, although there is about a 10% advantage if you stay very low carb. Under 20 carbs per day.
That means a woman could stay at 150 on 1650 per day if eating 20 or less carbs per day.
You can do this with Optifast or with steak. It is the lower calories that will give you the quick start on weight loss.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
thats what really want to avoid actually i had my surgery in 2002 so i have put 10 kgs on my bmi is 32 now which is obese according to caculators i feel ok at my weigh. . t of 85kgs it still a size 16 and i was a size 12 before. i dont really stand out as being the fat one now though lol.
I found that trying to go lower than my body's comfort zone was a constant fight. Many do it, but they live their life in diet mode.

What about as a revision..my surgeon wants to do the bpd as a revision from an open gastric bypass..says it is a shorter and safer surgery as compared to full DS revision..with same results? anyone have any thoughts on this?
You are committing yourself to a lifetime of blood tests, at least annually and more often for some people. You will have probably have deficiencies that can be corrected by changing your doses in most cases. You are responsible for studying what vitamins and minerals you will need, because most nutritionists aren't very good when it comes to this surgery. The blood tests will pick up what you need to change. Most people have to tweak their doses over time. Those that stop doing blood tests and taking daily vitamins get into trouble.
try eating more often and adding carbs at each mean.....eat 6 meals a day, to raise your insulin level, which in turn will decrease your fat metabolism. As you get further out from the DS, you will be able to incorporate more carbs, add a probiotic. This is temporary, as long as you have no deficiencies, you are ok, and if you do ...make sure you address them.
If you have a specific question for me, PM me or I will not see it, as I don't check responses on the forums and don't have anything forwarded to my email.
thank you, I have tried this already it was quite painful for me. I will keep trying things as suggested.
so now i went to the dr and she said it would be ok to do quick optifast if i felt ok but then i was going to do keto diet but she said that is not really good the dr that did my surgery retired along time ago and im sort of forgetting what we should be eating after ds to maintain our weight Anybody got some good ideas?
