1991 Gastric Bypass - New to Site and Struggling

Hi! Im new to this site i had my surgery 22 years ago and originally lost over 15lbs. I am currently dealing with about a 50lb weight gain from bad food choices and that cursed diet coke that has been my Achilles heel from time to time. I am motivated to deal with this weight gain. My plan is to start on liquids tomorrow and follow the 5 day pouch test diet. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing after that other than high protein and low/no carbs. But for now, I really need to make it through the next five days. Any feedback or experiences would be welcome!!! Thanks for reading!!!

Whenever I start to go wonky on my eating plan, I go back to the basics.
Protein forward eating. I get in at least 100 grams of protein a day.
No drinking for at least 30 minutes after eating.
Drink at least 80 oz of water a day.
Never ingest more carbs than protein. I usually get 50 grams of carbs, or less, per day.
Take all vitamins/supplements daily.
Exercise and lift weights. I use a Fitbit One to track how many steps I take and calories burned per day.
I still drink protein shakes to start my day. I use Muscle Milk Light Cafe Latte flavor (yes, it does have caffeine in it) and I also like all 3 flavors of Isopure Smoothies. NOT Isopure Zero Carb (the ones that look like koolade--blech). When I don't start my day with a protein shake, it's like letting the Carb Monster out of its cage and I struggle for the rest of the day.
Good luck!! You're in the right place. Obesity Help is the place I go when struggling and also if I need some new ideas.

Good luck!!!  You can do this!!!

HI!  did you mean you lost over 150 lbs!  I really need someone who's in it to talk to.  Let me know...  Good luck on your 5 day test.  Let me know how its going?

Wow! You really are a veteran!

Thanks for sharing. How did your pouch test go, and how are you doing with your eating experiences?

(I'm nine months out; I lost no weight since month four and recently gained ten pounds. The gain was all my fault, but the no weight loss part wasn't.) 

What type of surgery did you have?
