New to group: 5 years post-op

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone:

I had my RNY almost 5 years ago and went from 286 to 176 lbs. I

maintained this weight for about 2 years but during the last 2 years

my weight has increased to 196 lbs. I have also developed Diabetes

and have started dumping after meals.

I keep reading the posts that say to increase protein. I'm not sure

exactly how I should do this. Are protein supplements necessary and

if so what type and how much, or should protein be increased in the

form of food like meat and cheese? In looking back on my daily diet

it doesn't appear that I am eating enough protein. I think I stay

away because most protein is hard for me to digest.

I need help with a plan for daily food consumption and to begin to

reverse my weight gain. I'm starting to panic.

I also read somewhere that protein drinks should not be mixed with

milk. Is that correct? I have many, many more questions but will wait

to ask them.

Thanks,

Murielle
