Its not just me............

I felt as though I was the only one who has been playing yo yo with this new weight loss. I get frustrated because I can eat almost anything, except ice cream with hot fudge, spoke to me immediately, and I am about 10 lbs up and down my final weight out of two years. I am still in a size ten eleven and large or med shirts. I am perplexed at what i should do now, please help! I have considered weight loss pills and maybe even diet programs. I dont want that, if I wanted that, I wouldnt have gone under this procedure. Puffy, not puffy, puffy, not puffy

Stacy, I understand your pain. I have lost 3 lbs in a week going to weigh****chers. Just keep at it. This is a lifetime quest. Good luck. Linda

Stacy, I could have written your post. I had surgery the same day as you. And I too, play with the same few pounds. Mine can be 5 to 8 pounds on any given week. Then I will go back to my 162 and stay there for a few days and then it starts ALL over again. I believe before its over I will probably end up gaining the few pounds I play with, but I hope not. I do everything I can to get them off. I get so frustrated. Its always in the back of my mind that I will wake up at 312 lbs again, and it scares the He!! out of me. Rhonda

Hi Stacy, we all feel your pain. My yo/yo has been a bit bigger. I go up and down 20 pounds unfortuantely. I can gain five pounds in a day. I think a lot is water and I am very tall. I am six feet tall. I started at 312 and currently weigh about 165. I have to remind my self when I want to beat myself up is that I still have come a long way from 312. At least you are yo/yo'ing. When you worry is when you keep going up and don't come down again. Most important thing is that you are here. Just take it one day at a time and go back to basics. Excercise is key. Take care hugz

I feel as though you're reading my mind...I am up 10 pounds and freaking out. I have considered weight loss pills, a short stay at a fat farm! I'm desperate to get this weight off again. I hate that some of my clothes are tight. But, it's so hard because the food tastes good again. I refuse to let myself spiral out of control (any moreso than I already am) and have decided to try counting calories starting tomorrow. My goal is to get 20 pounds off by Christmas. UGH, it's so hard.
