Weight Loss After Pregnancy Forum
Gaining weight after having a gastric bypass surgery?
I had a gastric bypass surgery done at the age of 18, three years ago. I got pregnant a year ago, and gave birth two months ago. I weighed 457 lbs. before the surgery, and got down to 190 lbs. I gained up to 235 before pregnancy, and am now 262. This is totally unacceptable, and I’m in the process of putting a stop to it. Aside from diet and exercise, I was also thinking about taking Phentermine, a presciption weight loss drug. Has anyone else had issues gaining weight after a gastric bypass? If so, how did you lose this weight? Are there any support groups/info forums on losing GAINED weight after your gastric bypass?
Thanks!
First off, congratulations on losing the weight in the first place. It must have been a hard decision, and an even harder task to complete.
I belong to a Yahoo group called Weight Loss Surgery Friendship & Support. We are very friendly and could try to help. We have had people who need to lose weight because they have Started to regain their weight. One of the biggest suggestions is to start back at the beginning. Act like you just had the surgery. Eat your recommended amount of protein, water, vitamins and minerals, and exercise. Eat 3 meals a day with one or two snacks. Eat between 1000-1200 calories a day. Remember why you had this surgery, especailly now that you have a child you are responsible for.
We give a lot of support, so join if you would like.
There is one other thing I have seen. I don’t know if you would be interested. But, now a surgeon can reduce the size of your pouch, if you have already had GBS, by going in through your mouth. If all else fails, that may help shrink your stomach. Remember, it’s all up to you. Get the support you need. Start getting healthy again.
