The key if you read other posters' experiences is to move every day no matter what. I used to get up every morning and made excericising first thing my number one priority.
Besides this I personally would emphasize a low fat diet. Perhaps try weigh****chers just to get an idea of free foods and food choices portions and parameters.
You CAN do this. ((())))
I replied on your other post.
1000 calories is not a lot, but it is not very little. Some people post op RNY in maintenance eat that many. But the critical part is to make sure you get enough proteins.
50-80 gr of proteins every day plus good fat and take vitamins and minerals. The last 2 are critical.

I'm almost 11 years out. I had my first gain 2 yrs ago, 30lbs due to thyroid. Today I sit here and thank God I gained that weight.
Im very sick. I have a rare headache disorder that is out of control and for the past 5 years I've been bedridden. I haven't had eating issues prior to this but last year these 3 sick in the head men set off a ptsd trigger that started stomach issues... vomiting, stomach pains, nausea and not eating much (although I eat a lot less now). So that went away in sept/oct. But eating issues never came back. I don't get hungry and even when I'm not nauseous I still can't eat much. I can get some in maybe 4-5 ounces but not enough to sustain life when you are only eating like that a couple times a day.
My doc had me back on protein shakes which helped with strength. My finances changed and I can't afford them now. I've lost 35lbs since April laying in bed. I'm scared! I can barely get 1000 calories a day in me. I do have medical marijuana for my pain. I found one that works for pain and appetite but I'm broke and can only get a little. Anything else that can make you eat? I wanted to know if I can starve to death? I have RNY. Sorry so long. Any advice or ideas would be great. Thanks

I needed the comfort of my pop but the acid from Diet Coke didn't work. I do a Diet Mt. Dew at least 6x/day. I have continued to lose weight. I really recommend anyone who can quit to stay away. I'm sure water is the best answer. For me, I had way too many changes in my life and this is a crutch. No excuses but please save me the lecture? I wanted to give you an honest question to a real question. I tried it, got away with it and so I continue to do it. I am at goal but still continue to lose. I exercise for 1 1/2 hour every day, 6 days a week.
I just logged back in to this site after being gone a few years and came across your post from May. I am battling regain as well and also need encouragement/support/ideas. If you see this, please respond. Maybe we can help each other.

I had RNY surgery August 2010. I lost 140lbs but in the last few years I have gained 51lbs. Yes, it is my fault because I drink with my meals, make some bad food choices, am addicted to carbs. I want to restart and get back down to my lowest weight of 145. I now weigh 196. I have gone from 290 to 145 the back up to 196. Any advise is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! I take two gummy bears per day and vitamin D and Calcium. I'll be try the red yeast rice capsules for carb cravings though. that is my issue for sure.
The only thing I can tell you is what I do myself - and it's a lot less than most here recommend.
I also eat a very nutritious diet ( I grow vegetables and fruits myself organically so I get a lot more vites from food than most Americans)
that said : this is what I take - flintstones sours chewable gummy bears usually four like every other day
calcium ( posture D because it has D magnesium etc) when I crave it ( every third day usually)
red yeast rice capsule ( Chinese medicine for diabetes and works great against sugar/ carb cravings )
evening primrose oil or Tonalin ( stops fat cravings by giving essential fats to the body )
vitamin c
