Feeling deparate again
Hi January family, I had WLS 1/18/2005. I have lost 100lbs but now gained back 7-10lbs depending on the day. I feel deparate again and even want to look into a diet pill or an appetite supressant. Are any of you feeling that? I refuse to have gone through this and have a large scar to prove it to gain weight.
Is anyone taking supplements?
Hi Donna. I'm sorry you're going thru a rough time. I haven't done any supplements or diet pills, but I would definitely check with your surgeon before doing so~not sure how they would effect us now???
I went thru a very stressfull time awhile back and gained 10lbs~I was scared to death! I too felt desperate and afraid and I refused to go back to 328lbs! So, I recommited myself, went back to basics and found that if I follow the "pouch rules", the pounds come right back off. It took a few weeks, but I shed it by just pushing protein, counting calories, staying lower carb, drinking 100oz of water and exercising some extra. It actually felt good to know that if I needed to lose a few pounds that I had the ability to do it once I set my mind to it.
You're in a good place b/c you've realized the problem at 7-10lbs versus 50lbs. You can do this! Good Luck!
