How to prevent your stomach from stretching after weight loss surgery 

+Weezer VanTrout sounds like you're doing great, exercise is your best weapon against weight regain

+Jeni Lamberto great work!

Jeni Lamberto are you still addicted to salads?

@@silverlining2794 Funny you should ask, I just reaquainted myself with the. They really do make me feel the best. Are you?

Jeni Lamberto I have moments where I can eat salsa all day everyday but not recently. I am scheduled for my surgery in July but I’d like to start making healthier choices now.

​@@silverlining2794 That's so exciting!!!! My advice to you is do that like it's your job. Start now because it will give you the best start and habits. Follow the preop like it is your only concern at the time. Eliminater any need for caffeine and carbs before the surgery. Then, when you have the surgery stay on total food lockdown for 2 to 3 years to establish your habits. A lot of people are in a hurry to eat more. My feeling is just keep your food and animal protein at 3 ounces and under forever. I still weigh everything in my home and even though I can technically have 3 ounces I still listen to my hinger signals. Sometimes that means I only eat 2.4 ounces of proein at a time. Does that make sensnse? I am 3.5 years postop and still mainaining around 2121 pounds. My IG accounts are erniesmom863 and vsg.keto.timetoshapeup. Please feel free to dm me anytime. I am so excited fgor you!!!! And stay away from processed foods. That's the number on rule!!!!!

How did your surgery go? How are you feeling now?

hi did you have loose skin

Brenda Slack Dr.Alamanza did mine too!! Such a miracle. 51lbs in less than 4 months so far and now hit a plateau sadly

c a l l m e k a t i e Hang in there. I hit a plateau at five months, lost three pounds only the next month. I went by my loose clothes and kept going. This month, I dropped ten pounds in two weeks! Keep eating well and exercising. It will come. Good luck 💟🌞☺

Brenda Slack you only lost 80lbs?

@@Shadeed33 That's extremely disappointing!! 3.5 years?

Jennifer Bleecher You're welcome.

Well done im 4m post op and I've lost the same.

@No Malice I had sleeve and I could have returned to work the next week.

@@sparklesandsmog I am about to have surgery within the next couple of months. I am curious as to if you have heard from people and what you think. Is bypass or sleeve the best way to go and for best results as well in the long run? I am supposed to be having the gastric bypass but I have been given the choice as to which I would prefer so now I'm waiting out the option and willing to hear from other people who have had the sleeve as well??

I'm 10 days and I love seeing how happy this is making people. Reassures me about this life changing decision. Congratulations!!

@Queen Opp I'm not in America but I have 1 month off of work.

Congratulations on your success, Follow me on instagram @drmatthewweiner see you there!

+ningaz thanks!

+Kathie Condon thanks, the diet is in my book, a pound of cure

Sure, great topic.

VinceP1974 Great, thanks.

VinceP1974 hows it going bro ?

Dont

How do you feel about losing weight again after 8 years post OP? Is it easier than pre-op? Do you still have any restriction or can you eat the way you used to before surgery? Thanks in advance.

You're welcome

Thank you for your videos. They are a great support and guidance.

cmf1267 You have a great attitude. Maintaining your weight loss after sleeve is not easy, but it is possible!!!

Glad to hear it - the sleeve is primarily a set point lowering surgery, the amount of restriction does not equate to weight loss. Don't worry about your portion sizes and focus on making healthy choices.

How much food can your stomach hold now?

@Dr. Matthew Weiner I will definitely start following your page. I have to get this weight back off. I am still much less than when I started but I am now having knee problems and when you are in pain it can become depressing.

good luck!

Congratulations👍

Glad to hear it, congrats on your amazing weight loss

Thank you :-) It sure feels good, I can tell ya that! :-)

+Stephanie F. Great, good luck!

Sounds like you've gotten yourself back on track. Good luck!

Shineeyes, I'm also able to eat more than 2 or 3 bites (in the puree stage)and feeling I'm doing something wrong or they didn't take enough of stomach. Still losing but was wondering why I can eat more than suggested?

+YaniBrooks it sounds like you are having some regret about your surgery. This is common, particularly in the first few weeks. Success happens over years, not days so you will have to have patience.

MrsLaYaniJimenez you are so dumb! Thank you, is amusing!

I'm in the process of releasing a new website, www.poundofcureweightloss.com that has tons of new content, meal plans and recipes. If you're not getting the information you need from your bariatric program, maybe this site can help.

Dr. Matthew Weiner thank you so much!

+Meghan Allen glad to hear they help. The reason I created these videos was I felt rushed in my post op appts too and wanted to make sure my patients had all the info they needed.

Darla Lawson People lose at very different rates after surgery and there are many reasons why. First, your starting weight has a big impact - if you start at 350 lbs, you'll lose a lot more weight than someone who starts at 250. Also, if you lose a lot of weight before surgery, we often see less weight loss in the first few months after surgery (yes, this is counter-intuitive, but true). This video may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eZcUtdgt3fs.html

Can you please give the name of the group? I'm considering surgery and it would be great to join a community.

SacredGoddess Ink You're welcome

great work!

LizasPaperPassion You're welcome

Glad to hear that your doc is pushing the whole foods lifestyle rather than the high protein, low calorie one that most bariatric programs endorse.

+Deby W good luck

Interested in this as well. Intermittent fasting mostly

You're welcome

Typically yogurt does not cause weight gain, but beware of flavored yogurts as they have either artificial sweeteners or added sugar. I recommend plain yogurt in the blender with fruit. As far as animal protein goes, a little is fine, a lot is not.

+Dr. Matthew Weiner thank you so much for getting back to me. Yes I choose plain yogurt with no sugar and I add a small amount of fresh fruit. So I guess what you're saying is the amount that we're eating is important and that makes sense.

These staples are never an issue

Phillip Hornbostle,MD

+Gabrielle 2 Dream exactly - there is no set portion size after these surgeries. What matters most is what is on the plate, not how big the plate is.

Dr. Matthew Weiner thank you Dr.Weiner, I value your videos and appreciate so much that you share your knowledge with those of us that didn't have the best follow up nutrition. Having a difficult time getting my green veggies in.

Emma Patterson is excellent and a leader in the field. She's in Portland.

Lots of factors like the consistency of the food. If your weight loss is on track, I wouldn't worry about it, but if not, it should be evaluated further.

Sorry, don't know him

Discuss this with your Bariatric surgeon, there are often many reasons that this can happen. I'm available for Skype consultations as well.

+Barham Abu Dayyeh I'm very much aware of these studies and most limit followup to one year. The more recent study, the one presented at obesity week was paid for by the device manufacturer that sells the suturing device used in the study. I learned my lesson with the lap band - ignore any study that shows clear evidence of industry bias. If there are additional, unbiased studies that support this claim, I may re-examine this issue, but I think using this study to change my practice would be a huge mistake. Although I acknowledge that there is some debate in the community that the GJ size does impact weight loss, it does not explain the wide variation we see in success after surgery. Lee Kaplan's work on the genetics of postoperative results is much more convincing to me.

Me too

Malu CVM me too . I lost 40 pounds in a year and gained 20 in the last few months 😕

+Tamer A.L I don't have experience with the mini gastric bypass, but some of my rygb patients can tolerate this much food this soon after surgery, most though cannot.

I have a video on vitamins that covers iron deficiency. Protein deficiency is almost exclusively limited to those

+Amanda Ruden the cause of obesity is the interplay of our genes and environment. Sometimes changing your food environment is enough, other times it requires more drastic steps like surgery.

+ShrinkDavid if you are able to lose weight just by eating a lot of healthy food, then you should just do that, not have surgery. If you are eating healthy foods and still can't lose weight, then surgery is a great option

Yes, I agree with Dr Weiner. I lost 55 pounds on my own and could not lose any more. I tried for almost a year. So, I decided to have the sleeve done. I'm just a month (7/25/18) out and do not regret it in the least. As many have said "it is a tool to help you lose the weight" not a magic bullet. We still need to be mindful of changing the bad habit and making new ones along with making good choices. And exercising. My go to is water aerobics. I also want to start yoga as I feel my balance is off. I'm 64, highest weight was 308 and at last weigh in 234. My goal is to be as healthy. So, I can be t around to enjoy my children, grandchildren and maybe even some great grandchildren.
