3 years out

I'm three years out and have gained twenty pounds and is looking for some ways to get that back off.  Has anyone out there gone through the same thing and what have you done to get the weight off.? I'm jelous of all of you,  As hard as loosing the weight was I wish I could be back to where you all are. 

and i'm jealous of you!!  =) i'm 6 years out and have gained back 75% of my weight.  but it was purely my fault.  i ignored everything!  drank with meals, at fast food, carbs, sweets.  i never dump on anything.  was pregnant 3 times and satisfied every single craving i possibly had.  i'm back now and i started with doing to 5 day pouch test and its been about 3 weeks and i've been following the 'rules' to a T and have lost 22 pounds.  i don't drink with meals anymore, protein all the way, and i've stopped myself the very second i'm feeling content rather than full.  the first week was very hard but has been well worth it!  i was thrilled to realize i really didn't break my pouch.  i now measure everything have been logging every possible thing that enters my mouth on fitday.com.  it can be done again!!!  this board is super supportive.  good luck and realize, your definetly not alone!!  hope this helped some.

Thank you so much for your advice.  I have heard about the five day pouch test and started and then stopped. I have no problem with drinking the protein, in fact if you haven't tried Achieve one yet you should.  The Cappachino is the best one and if you should shop at Dominicks try the Safeway chocolate protein drink.  I wish I could have drank them when I went through the surgery but they didn't taste good and now I love them.  Good luck on your new adventure, I'm happy to know that it can be done.
