Gaining Weight After Gastric Bypass? Bad Snacks May be the Cause
Author: Kaye Bailey
As I become acquainted with many of our LivingAfterWLS.com community members Im finding that old snacking habits have crept back in to our lives. In my third year post-op I returned to the miserable habit of snacking and snacking on all the wrong foods. Crackers, popcorn, toast, cereal, pretzels, sugar-free candy, granola bars. The unpleasant result of this is I regained some weight, several dumping episodes, vomiting and bouts of fatigue.
According to my bariatric center "Snacking, nibbling or grazing on foods, usually high-calorie and high-fat foods, can add hundreds of calories a day to your intake, defeating the restrictive effect of your operation. Snacking will slow down your weight loss and can lead to regain of weight."
Almost universally the snacks WLS patients admit to eating are high carbohydrate, nutritionally void processed foods. In order to maintain weight loss after gastric bypass successful patients avoid these poor snack choices:
What you will notice about the poor snack choices is that most are nutritionally void foods they do nothing to feed your body the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs to function well. In addition when grazed upon many of these foods can be consumed in large quantities by gastric bypass patients. Its called the "soft foods phenomena". When WLS patients eat soft foods (think crackers) which mix with stomach fluids a slurry results. This mixture passes through the pouch into the bypassed intestine allowing for steady intake without satiation. In addition, these foods may cause dumping or vomiting.
You may be surprised to see trail mix and granola on the foods to avoid list as they are well known "health foods." It's true trail mix and granola are nutritionally dense but most bariatric patients report a low tolerance for nuts, seeds and raisins. In addition many of these foods contain hidden sugars.

Most Americans do not get enough calcium in their diets; the average daily intake is 500 milligrams shy of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams. Gastric bypass patients are even more unlikely to intake adequate dietary calcium and without supplementation they may become calcium deficient which ultimately results in osteoporosis. Weight loss surgery patients are limited by the volume of calcium rich foods they may consume. In addition, the malabsorption issue resulting from gastric bypass presents another problem. Since the bowel does not readily absorb calcium and the stomach is drastically shortened there is limited opportunity for the calcium to be absorbed in the body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body we have two or three pounds of it, most of which is located in the bones and teeth. In addition to building bones and teeth, calcium is an electrolyte required for transmitting nerve signals, water balance, acid/alkaline balance and...

ELIZABETHTOWN - Margaret Lewis-Moore was remembered Monday as a no-nonsense educator and public servant in her native Bladen County. She also cast a strong voice for the unsung and underprivileged.
(HealthDay News) -- Gastric bypass surgery, sometimes recommended for obese people, involves re-routing the path that food takes, including shrinking the size of the stomach. But the procedure has a number of risks, including the possibility of post-surgical infection, blood clots or developing gallstones.
Bladen County officials say 55-year-old commissioner Margaret Lewis-Moore died Saturday after undergoing weight loss surgery. They say she fell ill last week.
The struggle to lose weight affects millions of Americans on a daily basis. With so many gimmicks, "get-slim-quick" diet fads and celebrity exercise DVDs, it is hard to know what to believe and what really works. Often, people with a lot of weight to lose who have not had much success with diet and exercise alone, consider bariatric surgery as an option.
Although weight has been a problem at times for Oak Grove resident David Offenberger, it hasn't always been such an issue. Offenberger, 53, and a shade under 400 pounds, said there was a time when he could lose 50 pounds or more with little effort. "The difference today is that I have health problems that prevents me from doing the things I need to do to burn off those calories," he said.
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery can effectively treat obesity in adolescents and seems to offer a better alternative than gastric bypass surgery, but further study is needed to determine whether it's better than nonsurgical options, a UT Southwestern Medical Center surgeon writes.
