Can someone help me with a protien meal diet.

Hello family I have a question. I had gastric bypass in 200 i have regained quite a bit of my weight back. If there is anyone who has had a set back what did you do too get back on the right pass beside a revision? I'm thinking about protien drinks as meals twice a day and a meal in the evening does anyone think this will help or has done it themselves I NEED HELP BAD

I am only a little over three years out and have NOT regained any of my weight.  I do have family members that have both had revisions.  I would recommend starting with the 5 day puuch test to get back on track and then getting back to the basics.  Remember, whether you are post o*********er + vitamins + protein + exercise = weight loss.  You are in control of your own destiny.  Life is what you make of it.  I think if you go directly to two shakes a day as meal replacements that you will be hungry and this will hurt you in the long run...just my opinion.  I wish you luck and am here if you need me!

Have you thought about going back to your doctors office to speak to Jill or the Nutritionist?
I know that they have a great program there and can help you . That would be the first place I start.
Trying to figure out what is going on , or how to restart the weightloss can be done, however it is really best you see the doctor.

You may need to evaluate your eating habits , your protein intake - your exercise and your overall health .
If you have added medications into your life since the surgery, some of those could cause the weight gain . If you have not changed your eating habits or modified your behavior , this will need to be looked at as well .
You must not try and rely on protein shakes to get the weight off . You truly need a balanced diet along with the proper amounts of protein , carbs and vegitables.
If you merely start the protein , and the weight comes off and you do not fix any other issues , such as eating behaviors or food addictions , the weight will more than likely come back on . This is why I would highly suggest you see the doctors office and get their plan for getting you back on track .
If you decide not to do that route. I would do as I tell so many that are trying to loose.
Up your protein , Up your water , Change your exercise or start to exercise . Get a count on how many calories you need based on your activity and go from there .
But honestly there needs to be many changes to occur before one can begin to lose the weight and keep it off. I wi**** were as simple as 2 shakes a day and one meal . Unfortunatly we are among the group were the " shake " diet did not work . if it had , I certainly would not have had this surgery . I would not even consider a revision unless my doctor said it was medically necessary . I would do my best to try and work it out with good nutrition and exercise and start using the tool given to you . It will work , trust me .
Think about making that call to Jill or the doctor there at VCU. I am sure they can get you started .
Take care,

Hi there!  I think that a revision is a very drastic step and before you should consider that you should look and be sure it is not bad eating habits that have caused your weight gain - because if that is what the problem is, any revision may also fail too. So any good doctor will not offer you a revision before a lot of investigation....

You really need to go back to basics in order to get your eating habits under control.  If you do not know where to start you really should go back to your doctor and nutritionist for advice.
