4 yrs and keep gaining

Im sick to my stomach but Ive gained 30 lbs. I can eat pretty much anything I want. I go to bed every night saying I'm going to cut my calories and do just protein tomorrow but tomorrow never comes. Plz help. Has anyone else had this problem. I dont get full.

Hi Martha, I am also 4 years out (Nov 2003) and I too have gained 30 pounds. I can eat anything at all. I get full but just for a moment. I snack all day and almost all night. I really don't know what to do. I was thinking about ordering me an appetite supressant but I'm not sure what it will do to me. At this point I'm pretty desperate. I don't want to gain anymore weight! I guess I'll let you know how the appetite suppressant works.

Hi Sonya, Sorry I just read your responce. You know I started to cut out carbs again and now I'm on a medical weight loss plan with a Dr that is just 4 protein shakes a day with one snack. and Im down 11 lbs total. I dont know How long I can keep doing the protein shake plan but I can tell you it feels as if my stomach is shrinking. I hope this works. try cutting out carbs and protein first. hope to hear from you soon. Martha

Martha,  How are things going?  Did the protein shakes work for your jump-start? Judy

I am 4 yrs post-op(10/8/2003), and my weight has been stagnent at 162lbs for almost 2 yrs now..If I eat too much it comes up!! Everytime I go to the doctor I make them do an x-ray of my stomach to make sure I haven't stretched my pouch. I have kinda bad snacking habits. I was told that if you started eating regular foods too early that could stretch your pouch which would allow you to consume more foods which in time wil cause you to gain weight.Good luck and keep me posted..

Hi Martha: I had a baby a year after I had WLS. I gained weight and was unable to loose it after I had the baby... then my sugar levels started to act up which scared me more than gaining me weight back so I began my struggle. I eat protein first and then vegetables, our tool works as long as we play the game right... I am losing once again and hopefully I will be at my goal.. we can do it you just got to remember where you were and where you are now. HUGSS.. Marie
