Gaining weight in a healthy way can be tricky, but it's great that you're focused on muscle mass. I'd recommend working with a nutritionist or a dietitian who specializes in post-DS surgery nutrition. They can create a plan tailored to your needs.
read this FREE EBOOK about carb cycling and it helped me lose weight.

I still have my book.. just give me a day or two to get where I can get it out and I will send you the info. Email me at [email protected] and I will get the vitamin list and recommended labs info together and email it to you. :)

Do you by any chance have the list of vitamins we are to take. Through the years I've misplaced it and I feel like I'm winging it right now. I got off track for a while, but have really been trying to get back on course,
Also, what about labs? That's another issue I have with my primary. She wants to order minimal labs and I feel as though I should be having more done.
None of the doctors I go to really understand the DS.
If you don't have them or this is too much trouble, I understand.
Thanks,

I had about 6 mos after my gb was removed where I lost weight as my plumbing was kind of rerouting itself. After that, things went back to normal.

I'm just over 20 years from my DS and I'm facing the same issues. I retired a couple of years ago and now that I've got a different routine I'm just simply not eating enough/can't eat enough. I'm also traveling more, which takes me out of my normal routines (grazing mostly). I actually talked to my surgeon yesterday about options. I've always eaten alot of protein so for me I need to eat more carbs, which of course cause bloating, etc.
I'm going to try digestive enzymes for a while to see if that helps. I'm also going to try to get back into the gym like you said to start rebuilding muscle mass.
