Question:
Weight gain! HELP!

Since having RNY surgery in Dec. of '05 I lost 120 pounds. But within the past year I gained 20 back!!! I am exercising much more(long,fast walks) but I will drop 6 lbs and gain 2-3 back in the same week! I am getting so frustrated! My surgeon has to operate on a massive hernia I have, but she will not do it until I can lose 50 lbs because of the fat around it. (She wants to put a mesh so I don't keep getting them) I don't know what I am doing wrong! I feel like giving up! HELP!    — rhanson1975 (posted on April 26, 2010)

Maybe it's time for a visit to the dietitian? They'll probably ask you to journal everything. I know, I know, I hate it too, but it's very educational to write down every single morsel that crosses your lips. A simple change in balance of nutrients may be all you need. Exercise is good, don't stop. But you will probably have to make some sort of change in your eating, tiresome as that may seem.

I don't have an answer but totally understand. well i too gained some weight after surgery well i had a baby about a year and half later and kept on 45 pounds since surgery. I need help. I am so depressed about it. I feel like i'm going back and I want to look into another surgery or something drastic because diets are not working for me.
