Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fruits, vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work to there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

START WATCHING WHAT YOU EAT, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO STRETCH YOUR STOMACH BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL SIZE OR LARGER. START WALKING OR SOMETHING AND EAT LESS OR AT LEAST HEALTHIER, IF YOU DON'T START NOW YOU WILL GAIN BACK ALL OR MORE OF THE WEIGHT.

If you had a roux-n-y bypass, your stomach won't "stretch back" to its original size, but you do still need to maintain the diet you were given by your surgeon. Also, although many roux-n-y patients experience "dumping syndrome" after eating sweets, if you don't, and are eating sweets, don't! And, are you exercising?

This is usually the problems with people that get any type of cosmetic surgeries, it cannot be a miracle worker if your not helping it. Same thing would go for a diet pill, if you sit there and eat chocolate bars and then say oh its my Stacker 2! The diet pill isn't going to do anything for you after that. Eat basic, but dont starve yourself. Check with a doctor that DID NOT do your cosmetic surgery. A cosmetic surgeron is more likely to lie and go back in and do more surgery just to make some cash. So check with a doctor and just eat the way your supposed to with a gastric bypass.
