Can't gain weight

How much did you gain? Which one were you on?

Did you switch it out?

I was being sarcastic.

I did gain weight after going on antidepressants, but it wasn't the meds' fault, it was because of my own eating patterns.

Not necessary.

I also take antidepressants, not helpful in gaining weight.

I think most of us do know how to gain weight, other wise we wouldn't have needed the WLS. Just more difficult after WLS. for me. Before my surgery I worried about regaining, certainly not trying to gain.

Lololololol

A few ideas based on posting over the past year or so:

1. Drink at least 4 oz of liquids while you eat to help slide more food through your pouch, making room for additional calories.
2. Drink at least 4 oz. before AND after you eat to also help flush foods through your pouch.
3. Eat a well balanced diet but add in fruits and whole grain carbohydrates for additional calories.
4. Add in some higher calorie drinks, not high sugar, but some fruit and or yogurt smoothies.

1 and 2 are absolutely AWFUL advice. It's possible to add more calories and gain weight without starting up bad habits.

Nope, nope and nope. NONE of this is good advice, but 1 and 2 are especially bad. NEVER drink with meals. EVER. That's like the number one no-no.
