I'm in need of help!!!!
It;s been ages that i've even stalked OHk....now i find myself in need of help getting my self back on track. I had my surgery 06/06/. and at my peak lost 135 lbs. I've gained back around d30lbs. so not only do i want to rid myself of the gain but i also want to loose the rest of it. can i reac h out for help.
SURE!!! That's what we are here for 
Here are the things that I find help me stay focused:
1. Support Groups - I try to attend them as much as possible and stay connected here with my WLS friends. It helps keep me in check and helps keep me motivated.
2. Tracking My Food/Prepping my food - I pick one day on the weekend and cook for the whole week. Then I prepackage it for the weeks meals. That way I know I am always prepared with a healthy meal and I am always aware of my caloric intake for the day.
3. EXERCISE!! I know that is a dreaded word for most of us, but I personally THRIVE off it...for many reasons. For me when I am exercising intensely it makes it SO much easier to say no to that cupcake or piece of cake because I don't want to ruin the hour butt whipping I just endured in the gym.
4. Maintaining Protein Levels - I find that (and maybe because I exercise a lot) that my protein needs to be around 100-120 a day for me to feel vibrant and get my body into any mode where it loses weight.
These are just my pointers, not saying they are 100% correct. Just offering up some advice

Knowing its time to get back on track and ask for help is the first step!
Next step needs to be sitting down and thinking about what you learned early on, and how you can incorporate it back into where you are now...
Anything you need just ask - someone here will point you in the right direction or give you the butt kicking you need to get moving :)

Hi, I see you are Dr. Roe's patient.
1. Do you go to the support group meetings on the 1st Wednesday of every month?
2. Find a friend or a group of friends who'd be willing to excercise with you.
3. Keep a food diary. When I stall/gain even a little bit, I go back to recording what I am shoveling into my mouth. It's always an eye opener.
4. Personal trainer: they are expensive but I paid for just a few sessions and it helped immensely. The trainer told me where I was going wrong even when I was working out an hour or more a day. He showed me stuff specifically for my goals and I got right back on track.
5. come here and vent, tell us what you are trying, what's working, what's not. There's a lot of experience on these boards and I'm sure a lot of good ideas will come your way.
Good luck!
