"Regain is a Pain" Message Board Pending
I am very interested in your group message board. I had surgery three and a half years ago. Did not loose all of my weight but have been at the same point for the last two years. I can't seem to get back on track. I am fighting a lot of eating demons right now. Have gained a couple of pounds and do not want to creep back to where I have spent most of life. Looking forwardd to your board.
I would love to join your group! I had the Ryn a few years back and gained and I am on my way back. It's a struggle everyday. I am trying to up my protein intake and stay away from nasty carbs and sugars but they are so attractive! I am loving this weather and trying to get out there and get active so hopefully I can just knock off a pound or two a week. I don't have to watch the weight fly off the scale at this point to be happy. I just don't want to see the pounds pile on each week. I want to be healthy. I got the surgery because I was an unhealthy eater. I don't want to go back in that direction. Yes, i want to be part of your group!
Wow this is just the group I need. I haven't been on OH is so long, thinking the old thoughts of "I got this", "No problem"....well I have a problem....I am almost 4 years out, was down to 195 from 315, and currently am back up to a shameful 225. I need help too!!! I feel that if I don't really recommit to this I will lose my family
It's been so long since I've been on OH, I don't even know if I'm "replying" in the correct spot! I would like to be added to your list! I had RNY gastric bypass in '04 weighing 295, lost approx 140 lbs (down to 155), & have regained 70 lbs. I can eat anything (and, unfortunately, I do). The only evidence that I had surgery is that I can't eat large portions at once; when I do, I feel queazy & tired. (I realize this is a good thing!) However, I graze all day, eating both healthy & non-healthy foods, & am drinking Diet Coke like I'm their spokesperson.
I feel very ashamed & defeated. I know what I should be doing; that's not the problem; I've obviously just not done it & am stuck in the old addictive behaviors! Mentally, I think I feel as bad (if not worse) than I did pre-surgery 9 yrs ago.
Thanks,
Just Jo
Always,
