Sighs, something was lost in my post, So sorry. I was trying to post how Others have had this happen, not me. I was trying to remind people with the holiday coming up fast to be mindful of what we eat and do. Sorry for the confusion. Yes, I to have had a few pounds slither back on ( 20ish) but I am still where the doctor wanted me on the charts. Hate when he is right.

Hey my Tinkerbell,
I totally understand how you feel. I have gained 60 lbs back and it sucks. Every time I look in the mirror I am disgusted. I am having alot of family problems and drink beer. The Carbs suck I eat a **** load after I have had a few beers. However, I know my pouch still works because I still get sick from certain foods, so maybe I am in luck for a 2nd chance. I will be coming to Fargo again in a few weeks we can get together and have coffee, we can motivate each other....
Hang tough woman we can do this, I know we can. If you wanna jibber jabber you know where I am.
Love ya and hugs to you....
Marsha

NYE Party *UPDATE* I just wanted to let everyone know, we have a "somewhat" last minute cancelation for the Lowell Inn Dinner and a hotel reservation. We also have 5 spots open for the Withrow dance party still open. If you haven't made plans for New Years Eve...please think about joining us! We are going to have a lot of fun! If you are interested...please let me know ASAP, first come, first served! If I don't hear from anyone by Friday, the reservations for the room and the dinner will have to be canceled.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a blessed Holiday Season!!!

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
You haven't failed--it's just time to head in a different direction! You did it before, and you can do it again.
Take baby steps--get the carbs out of the house. Or start an exercise program--nothing too ambitious, but just start moving. One thing at a time, and you will be able to do it. Your WLS still works, you just need to activate it again.
Believe me, I understand. I am battling stress-eating, carb control and failing to exercise lately myself. Trying to nip the backslide in the bud so it doesn't end up on my butt.
You are NOT a failure! You can turn it around!!
"I have been away for a while. I guess some of it is busy life style while other parts of it is the fact that I have failed. Yes, me! I have failed. I have put on almost all my weight that I took the time to have surgery for and to get on the right track. I am not sure where it all went wrong. I am guessing some place between the potato chips, eggnog,snicker bars and the dreaded bakery goods. The carb monster took total control of my ever last thoughts.
This my friends is something I hope to never have to say or post in reality. How awful of a feeling this could be. Truth told I know this really does happen to people. I am keeping my nose to the grind and trying to stay focused over the holidays. I hope this finds others doing the same. We can still enjoy it all, just in a different manner
Happy Holidays!!

I started my pre op yesterday...aaahh!! I am SO hungry all the time. I am peeing constantly from all the fluids and I am super cranky. But I know this too shall pass...I have lost 4 pounds already though!
This is the thread I keep posting for people to be accountable to themselves and to others on the Board for progress on their goals. You are welcome to post your weight loss progress here, along with challenges, issues or victories you are facing. No need to post your weight if you are uncomfortable with that--just join in the discussion!
I stayed the same this week, which is surprising. I have not exercised as much as usual, but I am trying to focus on good eating habits. I had slid away from tracking protein, and my doctor saw that in my bloodwork, so time to get back to the rules. (I also noticed my hair is falling out again--I don't have much to begin with, I can't afford to lose it!)
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 139.8
This week: 139.8
No change in weight
I expected to lose focus on my workouts during the holidays, and that has definitely happened. Anybody else have that issue? There's so many demands on our time, but I keep telling myself that this weight loss is my gift to myself and I need to keep it up! So I decided I need to plunk my money down for a race on New Year's Day--that will help me stay focused. I think I'll do the Polar Dash 5K--I don't want to do anything longer without knowing what the weather will be like. I'm a bit of a wimp about the cold, particularly cold wind.
