Not so hopeless... Maybe
I had RNY (Lap) 4 years ago. I lost down to 165 lbs. from 280. Which was 10 lbs from my goal weight. I had no absorbtion problems. I was a model patient. Except... I traded one addiction for another. One of the ways I kept so small the last year or so, was I was taking heavy doses of narcotics and sleeping and not eating anything but popcicles and chicken. Last summer I got sober and while I was in treatment began eating my bariatric diet again (ie FOOD). In about 6 months I gained up to 215 lbs. I know that my appetite has increased, but I can't really tell how much. I am going to make an appointment with my surgeon to ave my pouch checked for a fistula, enlargement and all of the other things that I have read may be "wrong" with it. I am also ready to accept that I may need a swift kick in the rumpus. I am going to do a liquid diet for three days. What is the best thing to drink lately? I drank the Whey Shots right out of surgery for a long time. Are the protein drinks from GNC acceptable? I have only started getting motivated in the past few days to really start losing again. I have been focusing on my family and staying strong in my reovery (almost a year!). But now, it's time to get in shape for my skinny jeans! Going to starts Boot camp in two weeks too. Any suggestions are welcome! PLEASE.
