I've regained about 13 to 15 pounds. I broke my foot back in Oct. and had to go for iron infusions so my gym never saw me for a few months. Then Christmas then trying to get back on track. You know, the same old excuses. But I, too, don't want to gain anymore back. My 14's don't fit so I'm back into 16's. Not happy about that. As long as it doesn't get anymore out of control. Yes the carbs just slide right down. Wow it's amazing how much BAD food I could eat and not feel full. But Paula, You are right when I eat properly I get full. That's the trick I guess. To not pick on the bad stuff. To keep the protein around to grab when we're hungry. Guys and gals, We can lick this or at least get it under control. We have to remind ourselves that we can have a treat every now and then, just not every day. And we have to move. Get that heart rate up. Good luck to all of us. Koukla

Hi All, Phew, it's been a LONG time. Lots of things happened in my life since last fall and I haven't been around here much at all. I've gained almost 30 lbs back...due to stress and emotional eating of carbs and comfort food. Not keeping a food log and eating junk at night. The Phd that did my psych eval before surgery has started a group for people that have re-gained and I've gone to it once. She's going to help us to target why we're eating, to get back on track with goals, etc. I can eat a LOT of food again and not feel full. But, if I sit down to a well balanced meal, I fill up pretty quickly. The junk carbs like crackers, pretzels, just slide on through the pouch, I guess. And I'm sure I've stretched, too. I'm not kicking myself, just another bump in the constant road that's called "pre-disposition to obesity which I'll have to work on all my life regardless of having WLS or not!" Hope everyone is good. Paula
