I'm starting to gain Help Help Help :'(

I had my surgery in January of 2003, Went from 252 lbs. to 135. well got on scales today and I weighed 148. It has slowly been going up but wasn't to worried about it because I would gain 5 and lose it, you know up and down but have been staying right around 145 to 150. Would really like to be back down to 135 but just can't get with the program. One thing I still do is drink my water and I don't drink any pop, not even diet. I noticed that I can tolerate bread better now, which is bad I know. I know that I have been given a tool and must use it right. I do get hungy now where I didn't before. I must Get back on the protein shakes and cut out the cappicino's (sp). I know keeping a diary will help me also. I have done so good up until now and have been eating some sugar too. It bothers me some but am getting back into snacking on stuff that's bad for me. Well I'm sure I 've talked on your shoulder for long enough but is there anyone out there with some support. I know I should get back to support groups too but I appreciate you listening to me. Thanks for being there. Just typing this has help me too.

Donna, sounds to me like you know what you need to do.... You have typed everything I would have said.... You just need to get back to the program and do what you know you need to do. Best of luck to you. Shawn M.

Hi Donna, Don't know if this will help but today I came across a woman on here who wrote a cookbook. her web site is www.jsfeigal.com. She had RNY and needed some good food, so she made up recipes, and published her book. Check it out, she probably has all kinds of good recipes and the book is only $19.95. God bless, Cissy

I don't know if this will hel*****t but there are several different protein shakes out now that are cappuchino flavored. I tried the Nectar Latte and if you put it in the blender with some ice and some milk it is oh my god, delicious. I added a packet of slenda as well just because I like mine sweeter than most but still it made a good size glass and it tastes just as good as Starbucks to me. I actually need to get my but in gear and get mine ordered soon so that it's here when I get home from the hospital after my surgery, LOL. Good luck and have patience it will happen.
