I personally really like the results of vitamin c serum both applied topically ( dramatically erases crows feet and discolored blotchy skin from sun damage ) ... but I do eat it also in the form of gummy vitamins.
For most of my adult life I seriously don't eat much at all during the day but when it comes to night time, thats when I go overboard and eat my bigger meals when most people are getting ready for bed. I don't have the desire to eat breakfast or lunch most days but I do snack here and there at times in the afternoon. I know it isn't good for me to eat so much so late but not sure what the answer is for me? Anyone else have this same problem?
I so very much understand. I ducked out of pictures more often than not and to this day, I still don't like to be in pictures.
Hello - I don't know where else to turn. I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on my problem.
I am 45 (in 2 weeks) and had the gastric bypass revision on July 17th of this year. Since then, roughly 6 weeks ago, I have lost 15lbs. ... well 20 actually, but I gained 5 back.
I drink my protein daily, do my best with the water, eat very little - typically once a day. I'm not losing weight. I don't get it. The only other thing I can think of is that it's maybe my anti-depressant medication, which is hardly absorbing as it is. I hit the gym 4 days a week - Can anyone help as to why I'm not losing weight?
:(
Thanks.
Let's look at it different -- 15 pounds in 6 weeks is about 2-3 pounds per week. That's great considering you had major surgery. Not sure what you were expecting to lose. I assume you didn't gain your weight overnight, so why do you expect to lose it that quickly.
Please step back and take it literally one day at a time. Also check with your doc about your anti-depression meds.
You went from a strictly restrictive surgery to a malabsorptive surgery. Are you eating correctly for the bypass?? Each surgery has it's own set of food limitations/requirements. I can't advise because I had a virgin DS and my diet is completely different from yours. Hopefully other bypassers will give you some good advise.
Please slow down and reset your expectations.

I think there is a yoga for everything! I've heard of rage yoga and laugh yoga! I would like to try a laugh yoga class, just the idea sounds delightful to me!

Hi,
I have been post RNY for 11 years. I also had a revision in 2020. It may be the biggest challenge is your not eating enough calories. Starting your day with only a protein shake and it's taking you all day to consume it... may be the block your body is coming up against. Starting with a small balanced meal then following up with a protein shake could kick start your metabolism into gear. Then in the afternoon, another low carb high protein meal will continue the metabolic flow your body needs to let go of those extra pounds.
Remember these meals don't have to be huge.. just balanced according to your dietary needs.
I hope this tidbit helps... best of luck
