Topic: Friday! Whatcha Eatin? R U Exercising? Did U Weigh?
TGIF! This is my first day back in the office in a few weeks....so I'm glad to be here! I weighed this morning and am up a few lbs....nothing major, but I've got to cut out the extras! I overindulged while traveling so I've got to stick to the plan for a few weeks and really drop a few.
I did P90X yesterday for the 1st time in a few weeks and it was so hard! But I got thru it and even did the bonus round! My arms are killing me today.
Eats today:
B1-1/2 c cottage chs with NSA peaches and 1/2 ww english muffing
B2-grilled chicken breast
L-sushi
S-Chobani yogurt
S-fruit cup
D-not sure--going to a church function for dinner
Exercise-none for me today, Friday is off day. Tomorrow I'll run and Sunday will be yoga.
Have a great weekend!

Yes, you can do it! The key, I believe, to keeping it off forever is to make PERMANENT lifestyle changes. This doesn't mean you'll never eat a cookie or drink an alcoholic beverage. What it does mean is that at least 80% of the time you are on a good, healthy plan, and no matter what, you are a regular exerciser. We must always track our food and we must move our bodies. We will always be obese--just in remission.
You know what made you gain and you know what you must do to lose it. It is the same as it has always been---pre surgery and post surgery--you must take in less than you burn each day. The only way to be aware of the numbers is to track your food intake and burn calories through exercise.
I hope you can get your mind back in the correct frame so you can once again get control of your weight. Remember, you are worth it! Make time to log your food, prepare good meals and EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE!!
We are here for you.

Hi Elizabeth,
NO SHAME!
You and I together can do this! I too have gained! Let's together make the decision to work this off! Drink water, eat protein, no snacking, no carbs, no sugars. We can do this! You are not alone and you are not a failure and you have nothing to be ashamed of. It's an addiction like any other. The only difference is that our drug has to be with us every day. I am willing let's get back to the basics.

Faith is NOT believing God can.
It is knowing that God will!

I havent been on in a very long time.. Up until January of this year I managed to keep my weight off.. ranging from 155 to 165. Well thats has all been blown away as in the past nearly 10 months Ive managed to gain 50 pounds. I started grazing and seemed I could never get enough to eat, then I would get sick. Today I weighed myself and was DISGUSTED 216 pounds!!! I thought I would never EVER see the 200's again, but here I am. It was like I went to sleep a size 8/10 and woke up the next day in a 16/18. Gastric Bypass is not a permanent solution its just a tool, and we must do other things to work with this tool. I am so ashamed of myself.. I am avoiding everyone who gave me so many compliments before. I am starting a liquid diet today and going back thru the progression as we did right after gastric bypass surgery. I pray I get a handle on this problem. I am so worried that I will balloon up again to over 300 pounds. I worked so hard to lose the weight after surgery and to maintain it.. then I got lazy and started my grazing.. I dont know how to turn back the hands of time before its too late.. I feel hopeless and useless..surgery date was 12/26/2007..

Topic: Thursday! Whatcha Eatin? R U Exercising?
1st day back to the real world. I am really being good abou****ching what I'm eating and getting back to exercising. When I vacation, I exercise, just not to the level I do normally. I also do not track my food and eat/drink what I want. This was the longest time off of regular exercise and tracking my food.....2 whole weeks.
I filled out my food journal for today and I'm getting ready to go work out--P90X arms/shoulders and abs. I ran yesterday. It is hard to get back in the swing, but I know I will. I haven't weighed yet--Friday morning is my weigh in day so I'll see tomorrow.
I can see how people can easily regain the weight lost. I can now eat/drink whatever I want...I do not dump, and I can eat a lot more and more often than before. I also see how easy it would be to get out of the exercise habit.
I continually remind myself that I must always be vigilant and I have a good support system at home and that helps. My husband's willingness to workout with me and to eat healthy really helps. I don't have to worry about having junk food in the house to temp me all the time.
Most importantly, I have each of you. I feel a responsibility to our community to do the right things to keep this weight off forever. I always say--I'm still obese, just in remission!!
Eats today:
B1-1 ww English muffin, 1 boiled egg
B2-grilled chicken breast
S-grapes
L-flat out wrap with 2 oz Swiss cheese and 3 oz lean ham
S-Chobani yogurt
D-1 cup of wholesome helper
Dessert-none! I'll have hot green tea with lemon!
Exercise-P90X arms and shoulders and abs
Have a great day!!

Topic: Ladies I need help please
I had RNY 2 years ago and have always had horrible irregular menstral cycles. After the RNY I was able to get pregnant and gave birth to my daughter 5 months ago, since them my OBGYN predicted my menstrual cycle was going to return with a vengence and put me on birth control pills. Before my pregnancy I had tried the Nuvaring which made my uterus prolapse so I was no longer able to use it then I tried the Ortho Evra Patch which worked well except for the headaches and rash due to my terribly sensitive skin however this was my favorite method. Unfortunately my insurance will no longer pay for the patch and I'm unemployed. I need to mention I have a latex allergy and have issues with condoms as well. So we're trying pills with no luck I've tried 4 different kinds of pills and they've raised my blood pressure and made me bleed for 3 months straight. My OBGYN has stated due to my RNY I may not be able to properly absorb these pills and is taking me off them. So depo was mentioned and he said that would make me gain serious weight. So all thats left is an IUD or abstinance which I don't think my husband would appreciate lol. I want more children just not this soon. Have any of you had any problems after surgery with this and if so what do you suggest.
Thanxs, Amy
