Mounjaro after gastric bypass regain
I had gastric bypass pack in 2004. I weighed close to 340 lbs before surgery, lost down to 200, then got pregnant before I was supposed to (9 month mark). Sad to say, but 3 children later, I weigh back in at 320. I have been prescribed Mounjaro, and was wondering if anyone else has taken this after having gastric bypass…
5 Day Pouch Test Challenge
I had bypass surgery in 2008 and I am glad that I did. I lost a bunch of weight and was feeling good. I gained it all back over the course of a few years. I remember feeling so good and loving my progress. Even though I gained it back I don't look like I used to. Back to the point of this post. My eating is terrible. I'm…
Yo-yoing the same regain and loss
My weight keeps fluctuating between 207 and 183. That’s a 24 pound swing. I retain water easily, and sometimes I break my rules. My goal weight is 183. My highest weight was 350. I am three years out. I have been fighting with this same regain for about a year and a half. Anyway, when my weight starts creeping up I get…
Complications with VSG revision to RNY
Hi, I had VSG in 2014 & did great for the first few years and then I fell back into my old eating behavior and regained a lot of the lost weight. I made a very impulsive decision to have a revision to RNY last year in Mexico and had extreme complications. The day after laparoscopic surgery I had a huge blood clot in my…
Life Happens
Life happens on the way to getting healthy. We just have to learn new ways of dealing that don't involve comfort eating. They tell us this during the pre-op phase and if you're like me, you're busting your *kitten* to comply on everything and may tuck snippits away to deal with later. This was one of those tucked away…
Regain happens
I'm 64 and had GB RNY back in 2003. Lost 140 pounds and then gained 65 pounds back. I'm now struggling to get all that back off. The surgery wasn't a magic bullet like we feel it is at first but old habits came creeping back and I opened the door and let them in. I remember my surgeon saying GB was really "surgically…
Do you have a problem meeting the required minimum calories on MFP?
Hi all. I had my Roux-N-Y in July 2006. I began at 244 and got down to 115. Life struggles, 12 years, and 3 close family deaths later (my mom, dad, and little sister), I got back up to 196 pounds. I started getting serious with MFP (which I had stopped doing for a couple years) again in April 2018 and am now down to 183…
Need to do this
I am getting married in less than 2 months! I am up 30lbs from my lowest. I don’t feel like I need to be back there again but I want to lose about 15 lbs. I’m tracking. I’m working out. I’m stalled!! Any tips or tricks on kick starting this thing again? Btw I’m 9.5 years out!
Check-in
I've noticed my success is directly linked to my involvement on MFP. I think it's time to remind myself what I've been through, and maybe it will help others. I had RnY in 2006, and went from over 300lbs to 178lbs - that was my lowest. It was REALLY hard to stay there, and I settled around 185/190. That weight felt good. I…
Hi, Newbie from NW Houston here. Are Y'all Still Active?
Hi ladies and gents, are y'all still an active group? I'd love to join you despite being a newbie RNY-keteer. I had surgery in February and am losing just fine. But I'm a life long dieter who also said when I started this journey 105lbs ago, "I will never be this weight again, so help me Gawd!" (Gawd=God in Southernese) I…
