Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I know all too well the feelings of being a " bypass failure " ! I gained 40lbs which is half of what I lost. I had a lot of medical problems and surgeries. I was put on steroids which caused maybe half the weight gain. The other half however, was from eating out of control while dopped up on pain meds. My husband tried to tell me but at the time I didn't want to hear it. I figured eventually, I would get full because of the WLS. Didn't happen. Now, it feels like before surgery. I am always hungry and can eat more than I should. I have an appt with my surgeon to check the pouch and other things next week. Until then, I am TRYING to eat the Atkins bars because they are high in protein and I have limited my carbs to almost nothing. Maybe this will jump start my metabolism. I hope everything works out somehow for you. Hugs, Sansone post-op surgery May 8. 2001 starting weight 269lb. May 2002 184lb Sept 2003 224lbs.!
