I wonder if it also has something to do with the loss of the

gallbladder? I have heard that some people get diarrhea after they

have it taken out.

I lost my GB in 1992, And it gave me terrible diarrhea shortly after I ate,

Funny thing is, since my Ds revision, I Haven't gotten the after eating

diarrhea. I think mine was more the RNY the last few years, and I was just

blaming

it on the GB...Maybe the GB stuff was getting better, and was replaced with

the RNY problems?

I am gaining weight too!! Yes, size 8 but creeping damned close to 80kgs now

which makes my BMI officially overweight again!

Ugh!

I've lost the

weight and now it's going to find me again. Only this time I won't

stop until I weigh over 400 pounds. Oh God, I don't want to be

obese again!!

Tracey,

Stop and think, You have a malabsorptive component to your WLS. Most

people would have to make some really bad food choices to actively start gaining

weight. When i was in Gatlinburg, I ate candied Apples, ice cream, mexican

food, Shoney's buffet with lots of potatoes(With gravy...LOL), Fudge....And

basically nibbled junk.....And I maintained instead of gained....Pre op, I'd

have

gained 3 lbs. So sit back look at your eating patterns and Make good choices.

With the malaborption, you can splurge occasionally, but if the splurges get to

be habit, then you have problems.

One thing I have learned is this....And this is personal experience. My

biggest problem is frustration....I want it and i want it now! I want the

weight gone, I want the PS over, I want it all and I want it now...LOL. When I

stall, I get frustrated, then the emotional starts to kick in. Well, If I'm not

going to lose fast, I might as well eat what I want....And this emotional eating

pattern is what made me obese to begin with.

Your a very smart woman....Look at your choices...Instead of a candy bar

grab cheese. Peanuts instead of peanut M & M's...LOL. And (my personal problem)

leave the chips at the grocery store....LOL.

Some people are lucky post op, they lose easy and keep it off easy.

Others have a little harder time, not that it's hard to keep off, it's just that

it's not as easy...we have to make better nutritional decisions than others. I

know for me, the best idea is to never go down that chip aisle...LOL. Instead,

I eat popcorn, which isn't as bad for me as the chips but still gives my salt

cravings what they want. I Don't buy bread, except the Ezekiel bread, That way

I'm not tempted to eat white bread...LOL...It helps too that it's on the same

aisle as the chips...That works to unless I need Toilet Paper which is on the

same aisle.... UGH.....

Tracey, Anytime you feel down, E-mail me...I'll give you a pep talk. I'll

look at food journals and try and help you figure out what's wrong....If you

want that kind of help....I can help be your cheerleader...All I ask is the

same support in return when I'M in my blue moods....Help me get back on track

when I've been a BAD girl...LOL...

This may be more than you wanted.....I just hope it helps you to feel

l;ess alone and know your not the only one who struggles.

I know what

you mean about fast food but at least we have some low carb options

where I work downtown. (Not that I can afford to go out for lunch.)

I have a problem with salty stuff also. It's still such a struggle.

Hugs!

Tracey

Have you seen where Sonic has low carb buns? Low carbs are everywhere!
