First please do not be to hard on yourself. I would suggest that you start keeping a journal of what you are eating and see if there is some things that you can cut out and add some more food items that would be good for you and if you can excersise some that would help as well even if it is walking. Hope to see you posting more and if you need any more help please ask away. I am sure that there will be others to help you with this.
Thanks,
I just think since well 6 months after I had my surgery my husbands company merged and let him go so there went my health insurance, So need less to say I have been alone in this (mostly my fault!) I should have came to this site but well I just did it alone and now I thank God I have lost weigth but I still make poor eating choices! I don't know how to get back on track! Well I will definetly begin a journal so what do you mean? I shold write everything I eat everything?

Yes everything that you eat and drink that way you will see what you are doing and be able to correct the good and the bad. A lot of us on here do this so that we can pin point what we are doing. I will amitt that I have not had the surgery but I have a daughter and husband that has. I am trying to lose the weight and with my daughter help I am doing it. Check out some of the gyms in your area and see what they have as far as excersing and other classes. I am going to a gym now and find that it does help me.
We all do make some choices that we should not but we can correct it. I hope to see you on the board more often and you can always pm me and I will answer you in any way that I can. My daughter is on here and goes by the name Kitty Kat. I go to a site called sparkpeople and that helps with tracking what I eat and how much I excersise.

Hi There....I'm almost 3 years out too, and let me tell you ....I do NOT see myself as others see me. I am often asked how can someone as tiny as me ride a big motorcycle. I do not see myself as skinny at all. In fact, quite the opposite.
The mind is terrible, and it loves a good joke. It torments us into thinking the worse about ourselves, and hell...why not. We aren't good enough are we???? Admitting that I AM good enough might be perceived as arrogant, and I don't want people to think that about me.
Part of accepting your size is accepting you, and that's difficult to do. But, you can do it. It might take a while, but you can.
Glad you had fun on vacation!

So I run like a Girl....now keep up!
Glad you had a great vacation! I agree with Pat, try not to be too hard on yourself. The great thing about our surgeries is that we have a tool for life. We just have to use it. Keeping a food journal is a great idea. Also go back to your basics, protein, fruits & veggies when you eat, with some good carb choices, make sure you are getting in plenty of water, no caffeine, sodas, juices, sugary drinks, etc. and exercise. You can walk, ride a bike, run, do some exercise videos. Get that body moving. It won't be as easy as it was in the begining but you can do it!

Definately do not be hard on yourself. I am a little over three years out and still see myself a lot of the time as I was before WLS. Our minds are lagging behind because for most of us we were big for so long. You are at the point in your journey where gaining a little back is normal. If it really bothers you that much then go back to the basics and work hard and you will see results. It is harder to get off now that the honeymoon phase is long gone, but with hard work and determination it can be done. I am here for you if you need anything!

Life could not get any better than this!
I think our mind will always see us as big - I am two and a half years out and still feel like the fat person I was before surgery at times - we all do!
As everyone said - get a food diary and go back to basics - go to some support groups and we will also help get you back you on track!
You can do this - you did it before!

I highly recommend FitDay.com for an online food diary. Not only does it help you keep track of your food intake, but it gives you reports on your nutrients, exercise, etc. All kinds of useful information to keep you on track. Give it a try...I don't think you'll be dissappointed.
Hugs!
