weight gain
ok,everyone is so excited about losing weight,yah great! So was I for 14 years,I had a RYX. In 2000, I have been down to 97# and now I can't quite gaining,I don't eat much because I fill up way to fast then I throw up,So probably not over 500 cal.a day. I need to get advice to jump start my weight loss again, My surgeon has passed and my family Dr.hasn't a clue. PLEASE help me. I am 65.5'2" and 165# and gaining,don't say excersise because that is a on going thing,run in a.m..
Sorry, not buying that you are gaining on 500 calories a day. Just isn't possible unless you have something wrong.
Unless and until you are able to be honest about what you are eating and how much you will probably keep gaining. Personally I could care less what you eat but it would help if you tracked every bite that went into your mouth for a few days so you can see right in front of you what you are eating.
It is very easy to get into denial about what we are eating. A bite here, a taste there, but those don't count. A serving that measures more like 2 servings. Yes, you can't eat a lot I am sure but that doesn't mean you can't eat often and many high carb foods are easy to keep eating because they chew to nothing.
I really hope there is nothing wrong and you get a handle on things.

I'm with Ladytazz on this. It is simply not possible to gain weight on 500 calories a day.

Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.

I felt I couldn't possibly be eating that many calories too because like you if I eat too much I get really sick and throw it back up. BUT with that said - if I track everything I eat I am shocked by how many calories I am actually eating. My weight loss has stalled completely for about six months now and I am bouncing back and forth and more up the last few days. I am scared to start back into my old habits - that is why I came back here today. Your post has touched my heart because I am right here with you. Starting today use a site that tracks your calories as well as your exercise - be honest nobody sees it but you! I too need to start tracking again - which I will do starting today also. I also need to get back on my bike and maybe add a walk at night. Maybe together we can turn this around starting right now! Thanks for your post. I still have weight to lose - 6 pounds and I will no longer be considered obese. So my first mini goal on my new turnaround plan 10 pounds so that I can smile and say I am not obese!

If your family doctor is clueless, you need to find a doctor who DOES know what they're talking about-- probably another bariatric surgeon. Call around, explain that your original surgeon has passed away, and get some legit medical advice.
Just because you're having trouble with your weight right now is no reason to frown on others who are currently successful.

Maybe.......
1. thyroid needs to be check
2. Eating to little
3. Eating to much
4. not enough protein
5. Weight gain because of aging
6. maybe a very clean diet of protein veggies no gluten
7. Doctor change one that will help you figure it out.
8. nutritionist appointment to help with a menu.
These are thinks I would do.
Best of luck to you...................It is so frustration this weight thing, isn't it.
