I am 4 1/2 years post-op & I lost from 264 down to 130, now I am 158 & I need some help. I think depression has got me because of this weight gain. Can someone please tell me at 4 years out what they are eating daily & how much, maybe this will get me back on track. I know I'm not a failure. Thank You

I don't know how much help I can be because I am pregnant right now for the second time since surgery.  With my first post op baby I gained a total of 8 pounds and this one so far, 8 as well but I have 3 more months.  However, I don't feel like my eating has changed at all during this time.  Here is what I eat.
Breakfast
1 egg
1 piece of toast
2 pieces of bacon, sometimes I can't eat all of it.

Lunch
1 small bowl of chili
1/2 peanutbutter sandwich, again sometimes I can't eat it all.

Dinner
1/2 small chicken breast
1/4 cup of green beans
1/4 cup of mashed potatoes, I NEVER eat it all but that is how much I measure out.

I drink alot!  I drink so much sometimes that I can barely eat.  I don't do it on purpose, it just happens.  I am at 160 right now due to the baby but before the baby I was 152.  I had been bouncing bewteen 148 and 152 for a few years now.  Have you tried the 5 day pouch test?  I have heard that helps alot.  I am going to do that after this baby.  Good luck.

I eat pretty much what I want to, but still can't eat too much of it. I do drink coffee all day long though. Have you been drinking sodas? Most people I know that have gained their weight back started back drinking sodas again. I haven't had a soda in over 4 yrs except for a sip of my husbands.
You are not a failure. Just keep telling yourself you had the surgery for a reason and don't give up on that reason. You did it for you. Don't let the surgery go to waste.

Here is a sample of my meals:
Breakfast
2 slices of bacon
1 egg
1 biscuit
coffee


Lunch

1 Ham sandwich without the crust
1 can of beanie wiennies
water or tea


Dinner
1/2 peice of chicken or steak
1 spoonful of mashed potatoes
1 spoonful of green beans ( or some type of g reen veggies)
1 Roll
water or tea


Snack
Coffee
1 cup of Raymundo's Flan
Coffee

Get back on track one day at a time. Good luck to you.Remember to get up on that track with full speed ahead and don't quit until you come to the right station!  Good luck!
