6.5 years post op, have gained 30 pounds. I need HELP
I had the same struggles. I had great success with my rny, losing over 150 lbs. At 6 years out from rny I had regained close to 55 lbs. I had excellent training and counseling pre op but aside from some support group meetings at my hospital, there were very few resources for dealing with the mental stuff post op. I agree that we can't eat like we did in the beginning and when i tried to "follow the rules" for eating at several years post-op I was hungry all the time!
I found a wonderful program that is wls friendly, designed by a medical doctor, nutrient balanced (takes the guesswork out of making sure you are meeting all your nutritional needs), very doable. Best of all, no hunger and tons of energy. NOT a fad diet, magic pill, or drink, just sound nutrition. I have been on the program since Jan. 2 and have lost 31 lbs! My head issues are finally being resolved. I am so excited about this program that I want to share with every wls grad who has regain. It really works. For more in depth information, google Highway2Health.tsfl.com and pm me if you have any questions. Truly is amazing to finally have a handle on this!
Ill be three years post op from VSG next month. I had gone up just a little maybe 8-10 lbs but I felt it. It is back to basics and making an extra effort to be mindful and not snack and over eat. It is a tool, have to remind yourself at least I do and that Its all up to me and I didn't come this far to go back. Good Luck we all need it from time to time!
