I had a mini-switch surgery in April of 2008.  I initially lost 120lbs.  However, now I am starting to gain it back.  I am freaking out for fear of going back to my 320 lbs.  I am at 215 at this point.  Any suggestions or words of encouragement?

I worry about the same thing, but I have decided I am going to FIGHT to keep this off!  I'm not going to let myself go back to what I did before.  I just keep telling myself I'm the only one in control of this!  You can do it, we'll make it, I know we will.

Thank you for your encouraging words.  Did you also have a mini-switch?

I have learned through the last 4 years that you have to hold yourself accountable!!! You know exactally what you are doing to sabatosh yourself, and I know it is a hard pill to swallow, but until you face the facts you will not be able to get the weight back of and keep it off.
Last year, I have put on 15lbs pretty quick and had on blinder. Until I stopped and looked at my food intake and my lack of exercise, I was on a down hill spiral. I realized the Michelob Ultra every night while preparing dinner wasn't helping either lol.
I have since taken the 15 lbs off and have gotten my butt back into the gym.
I recomend putting a photo of the old you before surgery up on your bathroom mirror along with a photo of yourself at your smallest, and take a picture of yourself now!! We often don't see our real image until we see a photo of ourselfs.
I wish you luck and be strong to get back to the basics!!

You're very welcome, I'm trying to keep myself on track too!  I had a RNY in 4/08, coming up on 3 years ago!  Still haven't gotten all the weight off, either but I lost 150#'s and I'm still working on the last 25 or so.  All my best to you!
