Liquid diet after surgery for weight gain

Liquid diet after surgery for weight gain

Hi All,

Just wanted to share something with anyone who had weight gain after bariatric surgery. I had weight gain years after surgery and went on a physician supervised liquid diet. I honeslty felt so disappointed in myself for the weight gain, I thought surgery was the my cure. After the weight gain I was depressed. Finally I decided to do something about it. I went on the liquid diet. Within a week after seeing the scale move, my hope and motivation returned. I returned to the same weight loss clinic I had pre surgery. They made me feel welcome and gave me hope. The group has been my anchor. This week after losing more inches and pounds than I would ever believe in a short period of time I was presented my badge of courage. The group leader had the Program Director Jen attend & call me to the head of the class, shook my hand and presented me with a dog tag that read "Honor, Courage and Committment from North Star Medical" The group applauded. I felt so special. They run the group in bootcamp style. It was awesome. I put the tag on my keychain and it gives me a reminder of my current success. Thank you NS Medical for making my day! I now realize no matter how you lose the weight lifestyle changes need to be made. Good luck to all, and may you reach all your goals.

Good Morning All, I have breaking news I am at my goal weight. After having bariatric surgery and not making the necessary lifestyle change ( gained weight) I went back on NSD medically managed program and lost the weight again. I made it past the Holidays, Valentines Day with great success. I am not bragging just hoping to inspire others. I thought my weight gain made me a failure, I was so depressed. After attending group sessions (Nurse Linda you are wonderful and thanks Jen for your exercise inspiration) I re built not only my body but my mind. I am stronger for it, mentally and physically. If you are struggling from post op weight gain I Highly recommend a medical mgmt.
I will keep you all posted on maintaining my weight..got to go execise. Be Happy!
