HELP IM GAINING WEIGHT FAST NEED HELP!!

I need some help. I have started to gain weight.  This is KILLING me, does anyone have any advice on how to start losing again!! 

Hi Jackie, My suggestion would be go back to the basics. Make sure to use your pouch rules, get your protein in, drink lots of water, and stay away from the bad carbs. Make sure your getting in your exercise. Sometimes it helps just to take a step back, and remember what we had to do when we first had our surgery, then begin taking our baby steps forward again. Lots of luck, I know you can do it!!! Hugs Theresa

Just want to say hello, I see we had the same surgeon! The first thing I would suggest is to up your fluids. I find this works when I see the weight creep up. what is your height and current weight, how much have you gained?

Jackie, I agree with the idea of getting back to basics. I'd also like to invite you to your support group if you have not been attending. I may have forgotten, but I don't recall a Jackie in attendance over the past few months. The main one is the 2nd Saturday of each month at St. Francis Hospital in Topeka. There is another one on Tuesday..I think it is the 3rd or 4th Tuesday. PM me if you want the email to the staff there or you can just call them for the times. The finger solution might work temporarily, but you will eventually end up with major health issues. The best way is to Google "pouch rules for dummies" and read through it again if you have not already done so. Keep in touch. John

Thank you very much, I would love to start attending actually. I had forgotten all about them.  I will be there Jackie

Do the pouch reset program.

What is the pouch reset program?

Hi, I have surgery scheduled  for April 21st with Dr Hashem.  What is he strict with?  I have my pre-op testing scheduled for Mar 21st then 1 month of diet shakes.  That will be a hard month.  Anything you can share would be appreciated. Thanks Vicki in Hutch
