Weight REGAIN

Has anyone here went through regain after their WLS and got it back off ? If so what did you do to take care of this problem ?
RNY 10-22-08 lost to 155 from 335 with in the firt year and a half. After that I started gaining due to some depression meds and migraine meds. I'm now at 238 and really wanna get back to 165 to 175 cause I felt sick and ill all the time at 155.
Thanks for any info. you may have.

You still have your tool.  do you have a Nut at your group you can talk too?  That may be a good start.  Otherwise, you have several options.  One would be to do the 5 day pouch test and see if that gets you jumpstarted.  folks say it realigns their thoughts and pouch toward a WLS friendly way of eating again.  Another approach would be to go back to your last diet phase.  maybe before you added in white carbs.  Or just up your protein to around 100g, down your carbs to net 30 and see what happens. 
You can do this.  You did  it the first time and you can do it again.  Your tool will help you.

Yes, I am experiencing the same now....RNY 10-15-08.....lost from 293 to 160 before abdomnioplasty in 3-3-11, then dropped  to 140.


after I took depression and anxiety meds I am now at 180....my energy and exercise levels are in the tubes...

so my plan even though I despise them is to start back at the beginning when I had surgery and also could not exercise much and go back to a semi-liquid meals plan.

Protein of my choice is UNJURY.  I use unflavored and the chicken soup.  I will track my protein to 90-100mg per day and eat a salad mainly with shrimps (my new fave) and high in protein for my evening meals and see what happens over the ext six months.

I am also going back to my bariatric surgeon to have an EGD done to see if my poouch or stoma stretched and discuss the weight regain and meds I have to take right now for sanity.
