Hi all, I will get my sleeve on the 24th of February....wanted to introduce myself...glad to be here.
I was thinking I should get braids so my hair will be one less think to worry about but not if it's coming out in patches I have read that taking a skin hair and nail supplement with Biotin will help
I'm planning on having my surgery in the next six months and I have been reading a lot about compression garments they use them for other surgeries like tummy tucks butt lifts etc I'm thinking about using then to let me know what you decide
Hi there!
It should not be embarrassing because think about where you started from. One thing I have found recently is that my body has been releasing too much cortisol which causes cravings of starches, sugars, as well as prevents sleeping well at night. The bad habit I have developed is eating those bad things at night when everyone else is sleeping. I have had insomnia for about 4 yrs now at least since my daughters birth. Lately I have been working with my dr to resolve this issue with my adrenals and cortisol release. I am also taking phentermine which is not helping much. I have only lost 9 lbs since Dec. That said, I am planning to see if a nutritionist can assist me here with this eating issue.
And I would not advise fasting because it might make your body go into starving mode which could result in even more weight gain. I recently purhcased the bariatric shakes and plan to drink those once or twice a day as a meal replacement. It is designed for pre and post op bariatric patients and has everything a full meal has in it.
If you need support during your challenge with weight gain lets motivate one another. You can reach me directly if you like. I am Sonya as you can see and my email is [email protected]
We will work through this. Support through this was the purpose of my return here because there are LIKE people that can relate and help me. Dont be embarrassed. :) It happens, you are not alone.
The same thing has happened to me. I am so embarrased. I have regained about 35 lbs in the past several years. Yesterday I started fasting to see if that helps.
Trying to figure out how to reverse this weight gain.

Hi Thank you and you are right if I dont look out for me who else will. glad your doing so well so many years down the road !!! keep up the awesome work !!!
Hi sorry you are being harassed, but look at it this way ask yourself whose health is important. My family didn't agree but if I don't take care of me nobody else will. Since I have had my revision, I am doing so well. I am glad I did it if not I would of probably had a heart attack. From 311llbs in 2009RNY til now 148lbs. Good luck in your decision.
It has been a long time since I have been here on this site. I have gained about 40 lbs over the past year and a half and find that I am having a challenge with my old ways. I am seeking guidance from my fellow gastric bypass friends. If anyone has a story of regaining weight after the procedure and have since lost weight independently, please provide any guidance that you have.
Always,
Sonya
