Post Gastric Bypass?

Yes, I am 6 years out, and have not lost all the weight that I would like. Also, I have put on about 20lbs, I feel somewhat discouraged because I had the bypass to help lose weight. Now I feel because I could lose before surgery, I will not lose now and continue to gain.

I take a full regime of vitamins, but that doesn't assist with weight loss or maintenance. As for getting back on track...for me it's completely a head issue. I rarely experience hunger so clearly my weight gain is a result of bad choices. I don't necessarily eat horrible foods like I did before the surgery - my palate has completely changed and I eat mostly good foods. But the reality is I'm consuming too many calories. So, I have to work on my head...and exercise!

I'm 14 months post op and would like to lose another 20 (247 then 178 now) not that I'm complaining. I DO get hungry even though I get in between 80-100 gms of protein most days. I've recently started Zumba and what a great workout but it's only offered once a week. I do the treadmill on the off days. Any tips for more weight lose? My calorie intake is approx 1240 calories daily.

I have had my surgery a roux n y, or however that goes lol, on jan 25th of 2011. So far I have lost 94lbs/95lbs. I am platueaing, but i need to loose another 50lbs. Any suggestions on how to actually get in my calorie intake for the day so i can loose weight. I have started working out almost everyday, when my 5 yr old lets me, and except the weekends cause then i have stuff to do with my mom or my husband. Any suppliments i should be taking besides protein, multi vit, and a b vit?

I am 18 years post op. Had mine in September 1994. I went from 330 down to 112 lbs. Surgeon wanted me to weigh 160 and as you know you loose more than you are supposed to at first. He said I would. Then, my weight finally came back to 160 and I stayed there all this time till last year. January 28th a year ago I shattered my right wrist and was put on medication for nerve damage. I ate like there was no tomorrow. Couldn't get filled up. I gained 35 lbs and got to 195. Finally, in January this year I decided enough was enough. I began dieting on January 5th and worked at cutting carbohydrates, actually was in ketosis for over a week and then had to go take care of my daughter who had her GB on Feb 20th. From Jan 5th to Feb 20th, I lost 3 lbs. Not great at all. I decided to give it a break since it is so hard to actually diet at someone elses house. When I got home March 12th I found this web site. I started counting calories and have lost another three calories since then. This weight is so stubborn, I can't figure out why I'm not loosing any faster than this. I prefer the carbohydrate diet so I went back to it today. I think between counting carbs, which I really like and this site, I should be able to do it. I also increased my exercises. I'm 63 years old. Help!

I understand completely. I always said they fix your stomach not your head. I'm trying to get my head fixed again too. Luckily I was able to keep the weight off all that time till last year. But this 30 lbs has got to go. I love this site.

me too! I feel that it is head hunger, definitely not stomach hunger. I am just starting this today. I went to the nutritionist yesterday because I needed to get back on track and combine gastric bypass, diverticulitis, and hypoglycemia. She gave me guidelines, but now I am a little confused. Guess I just have to jump in and give it a try.
