WEIGHT GAIN AFTER SURGERY!

Hello Okie Friends!  Remeber me?  I am five and a half years post op and have gained back 20 lbs.  Help!  I need to get back on track!

You said everything you need to know...get back on track. You can do it!! Follow your rules and stick with it. Right now it's only 20lbs so this is the best time to take back those lbs. It will happen to the best of us one day so you are not alone. Just dont let it continue.

Good luck on getting back on your journey and dont let the snack monster set  you back !!!

I am 2 yrs post op and had a fill last Feb that had to be taken out. I went Dec 16th for another fill and had gained 30 lbs...18 of what I lost with the last fill and 12 more. So I have revamped my diet. I know what I was eating wasnt good for me so I have stopped eating those things. I have plans to get back in the gym but finding the time to do so is my prob. I have lost 15 lbs since my fill in Dec. and am hoping to keep it going.

Just set your mind to what u need to do and just do it. It's all up to us to work the band or any other WLS procedure. It will work if we make it.

 Hey Pammie!!!  Yes I remember you.  I gained some holiday weight also.  I've lost 6 lbs but still need about 15 more off.  We can do this.  We know what to do, now its just a matter of drawing a line in the sand and DOING it!  Go girl!!! You are on this before it got too bad.  Don't feel like a failure over a few lbs.  Just get it together and stop now before it gets worse. You can reverse it.

How is hubby?

We knew going in to this journey that it was a marathon and not a sprint.  You don't to weight loss once and be done-- unfortunately.  We all have the tools we need to lose whatever weight we let creep back  on.  Use your tools and take charge again.  You CAN do it!  Focus on lean proteins first, then add any veggies you have room for.  Don't drink with your meals.  Eat mindfully instead of shoving it in (my biggest issue.)

Hang in there!  We all need a kick in the pants now and again.

I have been bad also and eating things I know I shouldn't be eating (carbs!!) and need to get off another 20 lbs too so I can look into a tummy tuck!!  I'm working on doing what I know I need to do to lose the weight...  

Good luck to you and get moving as soon as you can when the weather is nice (and I need to take my own advice too!)

I can top that with 40lbs................got down to 163, now a little over 4 years out.........there is a 2 on the scale and it is not what I want!  Have not been exercising and eating and drinking a lot with the hubby I want to lose at 30lbs of that and look into a lower body lift next year.  I am so very mad at myself and understand where all of you are too!

I am so glad to see some familiar faces.  I, too, am struggling with the munchie monster.  I've gained about 10 pounds over what I want to weigh.  I know what to do but I seem to sabotage myself.  It helps to know I'm not in this alone.  Back to the basics is where I need to be.
