I had RNY surgery August 2010. I lost 140lbs but in the last few years I have gained 51lbs. Yes, it is my fault because I drink with my meals, make some bad food choices, am addicted to carbs. I want to restart and get back down to my lowest weight of 145. I now weigh 196. I have gone from 290 to 145 the back up to 196. Any advise is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Thank you! I take two gummy bears per day and vitamin D and Calcium. I'll be try the red yeast rice capsules for carb cravings though. that is my issue for sure.
The only thing I can tell you is what I do myself - and it's a lot less than most here recommend.
I also eat a very nutritious diet ( I grow vegetables and fruits myself organically so I get a lot more vites from food than most Americans)
that said : this is what I take - flintstones sours chewable gummy bears usually four like every other day
calcium ( posture D because it has D magnesium etc) when I crave it ( every third day usually)
red yeast rice capsule ( Chinese medicine for diabetes and works great against sugar/ carb cravings )
evening primrose oil or Tonalin ( stops fat cravings by giving essential fats to the body )
vitamin c

Hi Kathy,
One of my "food troubles" is that my mouth and stomach are not on the same page.
I measure my food, and am on track most of the time. I can tell that I am not "hungry". My stomach is not feeling like... anything, really (which I guess is what satisfied is supposed to feel like). But my mouth is just getting started. It still wants things to chew and crunch. Meal time is over LONG before my mouth is happy.
Every once in a while I'll slip up and overeat. (Then I'm too full LoL, but at least my mouth agrees). Other than those rare occasions, I feel like I am almost always unsatisfied. It's like every meal time is a tease.
I'm sort of hoping when I go see my surgeon on Thursday that he will tell me my portions are too small for 10 yrs out. (But I kind of don't think so LoL).
It's not just the WEIGHT you LOSE, it's the LIFE you GAIN.
