Question:
Gained 15 lbs. since RNY 2008....
I had RNY in 2008 and lost 1/2 of me (117 lbs.) until this past year I've gained 15 lbs. I've had breast augmentation but only about 2-5 lbs. at the most is from that... it seems like I can eat and eat and eat and not fill full. Have I streatched my pouch? how do I get back on track? I need something that I can see wuick results in order to boost my confidence again...I don't want to end up being the heavy girl again. — * S. (posted on March 10, 2011)

Hi!I am just-ducky You got to be tough with your self I am three years out
and I want to eat and eat also, but i look back over the last three year
and I don't want do go back there because i see the good it has done me so
I forgive myself and ask for the Lord's grace to get back on track, it is a
day by day choose,am I going to disapline myself to do what is best for me
or am i going to be lazy about it and give in to the over eating. you have
to make up your mind no one else can do it for you. I will be more than
happy to be there for you to support you in your success. The surgeons did
their part know it is up to you if you succseed or fail. will be praying
for you to do the right thing. just-ducky

I gained 6 pounds since December 2008 and my doctor suggested EGD with
sclaratherapy. I had it done last Friday. I'm om clear liquid again for
two weeks then I'm on liquids for 3 weeks then soft food... Like we did at
surgery. They said my pouch was the same but the scpentor muscle at the
end of the pouch was stretched a little. They put an irritant init to
promote scar tissue and thus tighten it up. Ask your doctor if they
recommend it for you

Wow I could have written this post. I also had surgery in 2008 and have
also gained after my plastics. I am on my way back down. I had to get back
to basics, protien shakes for 2 meals and 1 high protien low carb meal. I
also went back to measuring and logging my intake on Fitday.com and of
course exercising. I haven't had my pouch checked but once I started
controlling my eating it seems to have shrunk back. Good luck to you

The best thing to do is get back to basics. Protein first, take your
vitamins, exercise, journal what you eat, chew 25 time per bite, wait 5
minutes between bites and do not drink 30 minutes before and wait 45 - 60
minutes after each meal. Also do not snack during the day, only eat the
three or so meals. Best of luck in getting back on track.

I am SO glad you wrote about this. I am 10-1/2 years post-op RNY and I can
eat eat eat also and I thought I was the only one. I joined Wt. Watchers
and have started losing again. I have never tried the pouch diet because I
fear it wouldn't work with me (hahaha...ugh). I'm finding out, like
everyone else, that just because we have this fantastic surgery, we can
still gain our weight back if we don't watch ourselves. RATS! Good luck to
everyone!
