Thanks for replying, did your niece have a Bpd/ds? Was she a long term maintainer? I think that 16 years of staying at the same weight after the op means she wasn't over eating.
Her food intake didn't change. So hard to understand why her body did.
cheers

I'm an old timer, DS 2/18/10, with a complication. I haven't been on board for a loooong time, still maneuvering the site and looking for anyone I was once aquatinted with.
Lovely meeting you!

No, but I also take DIM and Vitex. I have been taking them for years. The last blood work was earlier this year and they were fine, but I tend to not get everything because of the insurance plus when I do they usually very normal.
I take my probiotics and sometimes take some for detoxing

Had my surgery in 2010, overall no regrets. It just requirements me to take a lot of vitamins and supplements, plus stuff for my PCOS to maintain a healthy life.

My niece gained close to 100 pounds with her first pregnancy. She ate big meals and lots of desserts and did not exercise. She really enjoyed her pregnancy.
She joined crossfit after the baby was three months old, controlled her eating and exercise and lost all the added weight in about six months.
Two years later, she was pregnant with her second, developed gestational diabetes and was gaining rapidly.
Her doctor wanted to put her on insulin. My sister who is her mother and also a dietitian sat her down and told her that she needed to change her ways. Being pregnant was not about eating all the delicious food she wanted and taking life easy.
My niece stopped eating sugar, started eating healthy meals and walking every day. She controlled the diabetes without insulin, strictly with diet and exercise. She gained twenty pounds and had it back off six weeks after giving birth.
There used to be a Weigh****chers belief that it will take one month to lose weight for every year that you have carried it. Your daughter needs to follow a diet and exercise program.
She needs 10 calories a day for every pound that she maintains. That is with a reasonable amount of exercise. To lose, she has to reduce the calories and increase the exercise. She may not seem to be overeating, but she is eating too much for her body.
Smoking weed makes most people enjoy the taste of food more and eat more of it, so it is good if she is no longer doing that.
Weight loss surgery gets the weight off, but only diet and exercise will keep it off long term.

Hi,
I have been having inflammation in my eye. The doctor states its from internal. Have anyone suffered, if so what did you do to heal the inflammation and what was causing the inflammation? I am wondering if its related to something I am taking too much of....
Thank you,
Sunshine
one way to find out if you are taking g too much of something is to have your labs done. How long since your last labs?
it can also have a genetic predisposition. Some medications can cause this. Have you started any news medications?
this answer came from google.

Hi I am trying to help my daughter work out why she has had a massive weight gain with her pregnancies and unable to lose it after.
She had the Bpd/ds in 2000; lost over 60kg down to her goal weight without trying. She maintained that weight loss for 16years with no gains at all then got pregnant with her first baby. Didn't gain at all during the pregnancy or after in the later stage she developed intraheptic cholestaasis of pregnancy.
Then 2 years after she was pregnant again, and had problems with the pregnancy, gestational diabetes and influenza A. This is when her gains started and just kept going, then she had baby 3 now she has gained it all back and we can?t see how she gained in the first place.
Her food and drink intake is the same as pre first pregnancy. No over eating, alcohol etc. As an aside she smoked weed until first pregnancy was found out then quit straight away.
Where do we go from here ?
Dr says just eat less and exercise more?
Any ideas?
