Just swinging through real quick-like this morning.....but, I just wanted to concur with all that you said. I think we all go through that stage of thinking that it "won't happen to us"~ but, once you start testing those waters....it will come bite you in the arse. So, newbies~ NEVER say that the lbs are gone FOREVER! Because, you start thinking like that, you will start becoming complacent and think "oh, a little of this or a little of that wont hurt me"....uh, YA it can. While I have not had a super huge weight gain, I have gained about 10 lbs from my lowest and that scares me! I did the pouch test and it worked, but the old habits come back REAL easy. Good luck to you Jillie on your pouch test, it can be difficult- but, if you get back into the right mindframe, you will be successful!

FINE!! Nothing like being called out! I have gained 25 pounds, everyday I wake up and say TODAY is the day I turn it around.. and then I dont. WLS is just a tool to get you to where you want to be.. as everyone has been saying lately, you need to strengthen those good habits.. Congrats Jillie for taking this stand for your health!

WLS is not a magic bullet, it is a daily choice of good decisions for life long health! What do you choose to do today?

Wow interesting that I made this post Jillie...I guess we all have the need for our own process for sure. I guess by you admitting you gained 50...made other lurkers come out....maybe nothing I have to say motivates others. Hope you are sticking to your 5 day pouch test and it gets easier.

I'm scared to death. I'm on the scale EVERY morning like clockwork. I'm working out harder than ever. I've been successful with diets in the past... maintaining has ALWAYS been my downfall. If I go up a few ounces, I eat less and workout more the next day. Sugar/simple carbs/fat does not pass these lips.

Thank you!!!
Kim
