Good for you Annette! My start date is 1/5/09 - I'm going to exercise 5-6 days a week - Walk Away the Pounds same as you and on Monday nights I have a one hour tap dance class that is really hard work! I think I'm going to do a liquid diet for the first week - Protein drinks, some mixed with Light and Fit yogurt, chicken broth, etc. just to get the sugar and carbs out of my system and help break some VERY BAD habits I have picked up along the way.
I'll be checking in on Monday!

So did you move to lose today?
I Just did my walk away the pounds. I made my husband get on the scale tonight so we are going to work on losing weight together. I am excited because he is very big guy. The only thing bad about this is that a his uncle had to die from a heart attack and other things to sorta scare him to get healthy. I am trying to help him with eating slower and small bites and to enjoy what we are eating. I hope we will keep up the good work with this. We are getting all the pop out of the house. And get all the junk out of the cupboards.
I am going to work on drinking water.
Take all my vitamins.
Work out at least 6 days a week.
And be accountable for what I do.
My Goal weight for now will be 199.9

Topic: RE: I'm in trouble!!!
Hi Nancy,
I can relate to feeling "sick and depressed". We need to get back on track. I saw my pc on Monday, trying to convince her that I have a thyroid condition -- she said "no -- you're just like the rest of us now and you need to eat right and exercise". Hmmm....how many times have I heard that one? I need to go back to see her mid-February, so I promised her I'd work really hard to take off some weight between now and then. I won't, of course, even try to lose this week, but starting Jan 1 -- I'm determined to get this weight off!
I haven't heard about the procedure where they cauterize the stoma to make it smaller. I still get very full and sick when I eat protein...but not when I eat carbs. So, I don't eat much protein because it makes me uncomfortable -- but I do eat a lot of carbs -- which I'm sure is the reason I've gained weight. I've also found that sugar doesn't bother me much unless I eat a huge quantity, so that means I can eat cookies and candy...which has always been a big trigger for me.
WHY CAN'T THIS BE EASY????
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Nancy. Don't think about all this until after that -- let's keep in touch!

Thanks for replying Gail. Yesterday was making Christmas cookie day and this morning I was over 200. I'm sick and depressed. I'm going to do liquids at least today and tomorrow and really try to get back in the 190s so I can at least enjoy Christmas. Let me know what your physician thinks. I really feel like I need a revision or at the very least one of those procedures where they cauterize the stoma to make the hole smaller. I can eat anything and everything and never get full.... 
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and I'll definitely be back on 12/29!!!!

Hi Nancy,
It's me, again! I'm in the same boat. I've gained 30 lbs. over the past year after maintaining my goal weight for 3 years! What the heck? I'm going to see my pc physician tomorrow, so hopefully she'll be able to help me with a 'plan'. Let's touch base after the holidays and see if we can work together to do something for ourselves. This is craziness!
Have a safe and happy holiday, don't stress about the weight gain. We can get it off again!

Topic: I'm in trouble!!!
So I've been off on a food bender. I finally had the guts to weigh myself and I'm 197!!! OMG - that's like I put on 20 lbs. in three months!! I'm trying to get back on track, but with me it's all or nothing - nothing is in moderation. So, I'm trying to be a little careful - I'm going to try to cut out the sugar and eat more protein.
I am planning on doing the 5DPT on January 2. After that, I plan to do the South Beach diet - I did very well on that.
So - anyone want to join me?????
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy and Healthy New Year!!

Topic: RE: Hi to all
Well we all go through this, but you have to just get past it. You said it yourself, why would you put yourself throught this and not follow it. Do the 5DPT and see if that will help you out. I am gonna start it on Sunday. Before I had surgery I was 350 lbs. to date I am 152. I refuse to get that big again. You just have to set your own personal goal and just go for it. I did,and believe me it wasnt easy, but I did it. I would like to lose the 2 lbs and have an even 200 weight loss, but this last 2 is being very stubborn,,,lol well take care and remember this site is always here if you need help or just some support. Yes we all have the same anniversary month in here and the year too. Take care and good luck....stay focused.

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet?
Hi Jess,
I'm in the same place as you and Gail and I'm sure a lot of other RNY people.
It seems like I am either rigidly following a diet or off and eating badly - I have a very difficult time with moderation. I've been thinking of going back to fitday.com where I religiously posted everything I ate after my surgery and following that for a couple of weeks. I don't know how healthy that would be. Anyway, I am definitely toying with the idea of a liquid diet - protein drinks, beef broth, etc and seeing what happens.
Whatever I end up deciding to do I'm starting on Monday, 10/27....anyone who cares to join me is very welcome!!

Topic: RE: Liquid Diet?
Hi Jess,
I'm in a similar place as you. I had my surgery 7/28/04 and went from 252 to 135. Gained 5 lbs., up to 140, within the first 6 months. Then I maintained 140 for 2 years. Just last Fall, I started gaining...a sudden 6 lb. gain...and then it kept rising. I'm currently at 162 and freaking out! I know that I need to exercise more, but I'm also worried I'm going to gain back all the weight! I did the 5 Day Pouch Test a few weeks back, lost 5 lbs., and as soon as I started eating again, the 5 lbs. came back on. So, I don't know if that's the answer. I guess, as we both know, the answer is just to eat less and exercise more...haven't they been telling us that FOREVER???? I'm planning to re-join my Jazzercise class next week. As much as I hate it, I have to do it! I'm starting to feel lazy and sluggish...I miss the high energy I had at 140 lbs.!
Hope to see you around here, Jess. We're all here to support each other!
