Thank you for the response! Can you tell me more about the 5 day Pouch test? I've never heard of that.

Hello fellow RNYers. I had my surgery 3 years ago, back in March, and I have to say that I'm happier than I've ever been, however the weight is starting to creep back on. I'm freaking OUT! I'm not sure how much I've gained because I'm afraid to weight myself. I do know the last time I got on the scale, I had gained 10 lbs., but I'm sure that I'm up 15 lbs now - or maybe more (Man I hope NOT). My surgon's office never gave me any advise on how I should feed myself after recovering from the surgery - so I feel that I have not been doing this right. I never got down to my goal weight, and now that I'm at least 10 lbs. heavier, I really need to figure out what to do to get me on track. Any advise anyone can give me on what to eat, when, and what can be done to get my weight loss back on track, would REALLY be appreciated. I've read a lot on this board of others having this same struggle, but they all seem to have some type of "instructions" from their surgeons or support groups - just wondering what these are. Also, and tips or suggestions on how to keep your self-control under control when you have that inner voice telling you "you want it - so just have it" - would be appreciated as well. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I just checked in to see if anyone had written anything...man...we must all be alike! AHAHAH! I wear a bracelet all the time that says "Failure is not an option!" I don't want to be a failure at this...I'm going to bed at 8 pm to get at 4 and go walk at the gym for 30 minutes.... I've done it two days this week...now to make it three! We can do this, girls!! I don't eat much except when I'm tired, then I pick at things, especially sweets... Last weekend we were at my in-laws where my father in law is dying and people kept bringing food and I kept tasting! AHAHAHA! email me and let's do an online group! [email protected]

It's hard to believe but it was 3 years ago today that I started my new healthy life! I went for my check up yesterday with my surgeon and he said I am doing wonderfully. I have had no complications and I still log my calories and exercise faithfully. Of course I would love to lose another 10 pounds but don't we all? Some day when I win the lottery, those 10 pounds and more would be gone with some plastic surgery. I hope everyone else is as happy as I am with the decision. Good luck to all. Kim
