"Regain is a Pain" Message Board Pending
I too would like some information on this group. I had my RNY on December 21, 2001. I was 265 at the time, got down to 160, and now way up to 200. I'm freaking out. I started drinking a few years ago that has really caused some weight gain. I have low iron, have had to have iron infusions. I still have trouble if I try sweets or ice cream or anything like that, makes me feel very sick for at least an hour. I'm wanting to gather information from like people that know what it feels like to regress and want help to get back on track. Thank you. Linda.
OMG...I want part of this group. I weighed 258 lbs and had RNY in 2009 and was down to 153-157 lbs and could eat anything I wanted and remained the same weight. Then in June 2012 I stopped smoking and am now at 177 and going up. It doesn't matter that I am eating 1200 calories per day...the weight continues to rise!!!! I am eating lots of protein (whey protien smoothies) and vitamins so I am not starving to death. What the heck is going on????? I am terrified...nothing I do seems to help and I don't want to start a full on exercise program to lose the weight because I KNOW I won't keep it up. Whatever I do has to be realistic because it is a change for life is I want the pounds to stay off. I am not getting back into yoyo dieting and exercising...that is what got me in trouble in the first place!!!!
I too would like to be added to your group. I too have had a problem with regain and keeping the cravings at bay. Taking Lyrica and a host of other RA meds that keep me with wanting to eat anything, and can most times. Please I need all the encouragement and advice on staying on track with eating healthy and exercising is not a regular thing but do it atleast 3 times a week with limitations. So pleas add me to your group. Been looking for some type forum for this type support. Irish aka Ms Pisces. RNY 02/02/2004.
