You may find the gaining is just muscle building along with some fluid

retention. Be careful with salt/sodium. Also -- give it time -- muscle

does burn fat but muscle also weighs more than fat. So you may be on a

upward hike with your weight now, but once you muscle gets to action you

may find the complete opposite.

New one year postop

Greetings all, my name is Debbi, I live in Dayton Ohio.

Today is my one year anniversary of my surgery. I have lost about 80

lbs.

I had open rny. It is nice to formally join the group. I have been a

lurker for months and I appreciate all the wisdom that has come across

the

net. I also appreciate the struggles, I have had many. This is a new

lifestyle for one thing, so that takes some getting used to. But when

one

has problems, it becomes a snare too.

In a nutshell, I rapidly dump everything I eat, had a gastro emptying

test

that showed that syndrome. I am not losing fast, did at first, but 5

months

into my first year, I plateaued at 196 for 5 months, then lost 10 lbs,

and

have been now been stuck at 186 for 3 months. I must be the plateau

queen.

I have been upping my exercise, making sure I drink at least 64+ oz

water

and at least consume 48g of protein. I started this in the last week,

and

found I have gained 5 lbs (now 191),, arghhhh, so where is the sanity in

all

this?

So, here I am, one year postop today, and gaining just by increasing

exercise water and protein,,,,am I doing something wrong?

I do so appreciate finally being able to post and be an active member of

this group. Have a great day all.

Hi Debbi and welcome to the group! In addition to what said,

you may want to consider upping your protein intake by supplementing

with a shake or two a day. You may find that the additional protein

along with the increased exercise, will eventually get the scales

moving again.

When you say you dump everything, what does that mean? Throw up?

And if so, what can they do for you? I would think that if you do

so, the problem may be lack of nutrition, calories, and the body

thinking starvation mode and hoarding the fat?
