Reached Goal & Gaining Again!

Wanting to talk to anyone *****ached goal and is gaining again. I've read about the 5 day pouch test and wondered if anyone had success?!? What are you doing for exercise. Looking for tips on where to start etc. And looking for those who have gained again, then lost again... HELP! I had surgery in July of 04, lost 120 lbs and was 141 and a size 6 for the first time in my life.  It felt fantastic...now I'm over 160 and about a 10.  now I know this sounds rediculous and I used to roll my eyes and snort at people who were a size 10 and were depressed at their weight...but I am...depressed with my weight and mad at myself.   Thanks for any advice.

I'm not as far out as you are and haven't started regaining yet, but I understand that it is pretty typical at three years.  I worry as I am guilty of being a bit of a sweet tooth.  It's not getting me now, but I now it will.  I've read a the posts on the wls graduate forum about the 5 day pouch test and many seem to like it.  I am more the kind to just go back to the protein only for a few days to get off the carbs.   You might look at the book The Beck Diet Solution as it isn't really about any particular diet but changing how you think in order to change your behavior.  I find that my "self-talk" is really an important tool for me--or it can really work against me. Good luck, Sally
