Topic: RE: Had a baby now can't lose weight

Hello,

I am in the same situation. I was 298 when I had my gastric bypass in 2003. I was 128 in 2007 when I got pregnant. It is now 2013 an I weigh 167, no matter how hard I want to get back to a happy, healthy life, I just can't do it. 

If anyone can, please help me. I'm lost!

I am also out 5 + years along with 2 of my very good friends.  We are all struggling with weight gain and decided to meet weekly to try to help each other to get back on track.  We are looking to find some information to help us get motivated and to use our "smaller pouch" to our benefit.  Can anyone out there help with suggestions, helpful articles, Dr advice, etc?  Stress has also been a big factor for each of us.  We noticed that once we lost the weight, and the compliments excitment of the changes became less and less, the real world came back, along with the stress.  If anyone out there has some ideas on getting back to the basics, please let us know.  What are others doing that have gained it back but lost it again.

Hi Dawn, I am having the exact same problem. I was 8 pounds short of my preop weight. I lost over 100 post op. Now I have only lost 32 pounds. That was 3 months ago. It seems as though it will never come off. I am doing everything like we should. If you know of any suggestions please pass them on. jnipooh

Topic: RE: GAINING BACK THE WEIGHT ?
I too find that I crave sugar. Especially chocolate. I always loved deserts with cream and especially ice cream but was never really a candy eater. In have gained back about 30 lbs over the last 2 years. I was lactose intolerant for 2 years but now find that I can have milk and ice cream in moderation (except for Friendly's for some reason, that still makes me very sick) I no longer get sick when I overeat and sometimes wish that I did. It was a great deterent not to over eat. I actually lost more weight than I wanted to originally and got really nervous because I kept losing. Now I need to eat less. I would like to lose about 10 or 15 lbs but am still only a size 10 so that's not bad since I was a 28/30. Best of luck to you and be patient.
