Re: failure to lose weight

[Guest guest]

wow! It sounds like you are right. Remember a bariatric pt can eat more

food if they are drinking at the same time. It also sounds like she

uses fat (mayo) to help foods go down or she just enjoys high-fat

foods. Does she have a " beginning " and and " end " to her meals? a bite

here & a bite there, especially of high fat foods will add up quickly.

Many bypass pts end up grazing all day - unless they are told to eat

only 3 times per day.

Unless, there is some staple line disruption - she is definitely eating

NOT to lose weight. Why won't she keep a food journal and send it to

you? Does she exercise? Is she diabetic? Has she had a psych consult so

that you can discuss her case with the psychologist?
