This is a major problem with taking the shortcut to weight loss. Not saying that this method is wrong for everybody, but when you have surgery for weight loss you miss out on what someone dieting and exercising struggled daily with to get to where they are when they finally lost their weight. Like me, it took me about a year not only to lose a lot of weight, but to learn how to properly eat, as well as exercise and take care of my body. Someone who has had the surgery don't have the discipline of someone who had to actually work hard themselves, through hours of boring cardio and limited diets, so it will be harder for you to adjust to a new diet cold turkey. But the good news is that it can be done. All you have to do is simply think like someone who is ready to start living healthy and from here on out start exercising and watching your diet closely. There are so many people that claim that for whatever reason, that they simply don't have enough time to cook or exercise, and that excuse is used by a lot of people, and that's why most Americans are overweight. But let me ask you a question, if you suffered a major medical problem, and the doctor said that you had to follow a certain diet to a tee or you will die, will you then have enough time to diet and exercise? Will you then find the time to squeeze in a short workout and also pay a bit more attention to what you eat? Diet pills are not the answer. Your favorite celebrity that endorses a diet pill is not your friend, they don't know you, and they are only interested in making money for their time advertising this product. Quick math solution to help you on the nutritional side: whatever your weight is, multiply it by 10 and that is the amount of calories that you should consume everday to maintain your current weight. If you consume more than that, then you will gain weight, and if you consume less, you will lose weight. Now it is said that to lose weight safely, you should subtract 10% from your daily caloric intake, which is your weight times 10. So if you weigh 150 lbs. that means your daily caloric intake is 1500 calories, so you should only consume 1350 calories a day to lose weight. So apply that formula to whatever you weigh, and unless you have something wrong with you, you WILL lose weight. Another silent weight gainer is in what you drink. Even so-called healthy drinks can be calorie heavy, so the best thing to do is to switch to water or diet green tea. But whatever you do, be sure to always include the calories from what you drink in your daily diet plan. And remember, a 20-oz. soda which one person would normally drink is actually very high in calories. It may say 200 calories, but notice the servings per container, for a 20-oz. bottle of soda, it actually is 2.5 servings per container, which turns what you think is only 200 calories into 500 calories. So even if you only drink three of these in a day, you already met you daily caloric limit just from sodas. I know this may seem to be a lot to digest, but please know that if you pay more attention to detail and follow a routine diet and exercise program, you WILL lose weight.

Answer 3

Give your poor body a break.

I give you this single challenge. Eat what you want, when you want, but when it comes to drinking, drink only water.

Many people consume so many calories from soda and other beverages, that their bodies can do nothing but store all of the extra calories.

Don't think that diet drinks are any better. There are so many neurotoxins in diet pop, that a lab rat will die in short order.

So there it is. Drink only water. Do it for the next 30 days, and watch what happens.

After what you've been through, making your body deal with diet pills is that last thing you want to be doing.

Answer 4

You have to start exercising regularly if you are not already. Even minimal exercise and a well-balanced diet will help slow down and even reverse the weight-gain. You must not slip back into old eating habits. Try starting with a fifteen minute walk in the morning and a 30 minute walk in the evenings to get your muscles moving and your heart pumping. Eventually, you should graduate to a light jog...

Answer 5

Don't go in for diet pills. Diet pills are widely advertised as a quick and easy way to lose weight , but most of them are not effective. Even the most natural weight loss pills can have side effects and harm your health.Some weight loss pills may help you lose weight for a short time, but after a month or so, the body becomes immune to them. If you care for your long term health, avoid weight loss pills, design your own weight loss plan and stick to it. There are no short cuts to permanent weight loss.

Answer 6

Your doctor should have explained to you the problems of taking pills with a drastically reduced stomach. S/he also should have explained that many people do put weight on after the "honeymoon" period ends. You need to go back to your surgeon with these issues for evaluation.
