Hi Bonnie,

My advice to you would be to pay close attention to everything you do. Measure your food. Stick with high protein, lower carb, lower fat options and increase your exercise. If you are having medication issues that have a tendancy to cause weight gain, you will need to especially mindful of calories in/ calories out. Just a good basic plan that you can stick to is all you need. Remember, it's not what you do at one meal or one day, it's a cumulative effect. You can do it. Linda

HELLO LINDA,THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ADVICE,IT MEANS ALOT TO ME.IT'S REALLY GREAT TO HEAR FROM YOU,GIRLFRIEND YOU LOOK AMAZING.IT IS SO HARD AND WHEN I HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT LIMITS ME TO DO WHAT I NEED TO DO.BUT I AM FIGHTING ALL THE WAY.TAKE CARE SWEETIE,YOUR FRIEND BONNIE

Measure, monitor, quit buying the "crap" foods.  No excuses allowed.  You know deep inside that the better you eat the better you'll feel.  You did it once before and you can do it again.  Remember you are 1/2 the woman you were 2 years ago!!! I can't imagine being able to "binge" without purging!  Man if I go more than 1C (less if it's solid proteins) it's Hork City for me.  If you can eat more than that then I would have the Dr. check your Stoma to see if it's enlarged and allowing food to pass thru too quickly.  But until then, 2-3oz of SOLID proteins (meats) first, then your veggies, then your fruit if you can fit it in.  Make sure you're getting at a minimum of 64oz of water in per day, and you'd BETTER be taking your vitamins EVERY DAY or I'm gonna havta come pinch you HARD!  You should be taking bariactric formulated multi vitamins, extra Iron, sublingual B12 (Sublingual B Complex is Better because I'm hearing more and more about people being 5+ years out having other B vitamin deficiencies other than the B12), extra vitamins A, D, E, K and extra 1000mg of calcium,

Bonnie, I hear you GIRL FRIEND . I have gained back 30 lbs. I started back on track  and lost 10 lbs the first week. What I am doing is writing down everything I eat and looking at calories,fat, carbs, fiber and protein. I aim for no more than 1200 calories a day. 60-100g of protein.  I do 3 meals and 1 snack. We are all different with different needs. New Rule is : IF I BITE IT I WRITE IT  !!!! . I am doing a walk from obesity on September 29th. You can always join me. Always remember you are not alone in this struggle. See you lighter. Joanne
