Just need to Vent!!!!
Hey BAF.....How's everybody doing..me not so good. I am 4 years out and I have begun to regain my weight back. I started at 315lbs and got down to 172 where i stabilzed for about 2years. My current weight as of 3/27 is 222 and when I saw that at the doctors I was disgusted with myself only becuase just 2 months ago on January 5th I was 207lbs.
I knew that i had gained some weight last year becuase some of my clothes was fitting a little snug but i didnt really worry about it, I made some small changes in my diet and tried walking more often. I can say you know the normal **** like stress, my job, kids, and all the other bull**** that go along in life but i know that my wieght gain is all my fault and I just can not seem to get over this hump to get me back on track.
As of Monday, MArch 30th...I have begun a liquid diet and I hopefully can get try to retrain my mind to eat as though I just came home from surgery.....but this is going to be hard....my hunger seems so unbearable...I just do no know what to do.....Any suggestions any has would be very helpful, I know there are VETERANS out there they can help me or give me some guidance.

I am a "veteran" but just not for RNY. Go back to the basics and you should be fine. Don't be a stranger to the boards. Obesity Help it is a give and take. Have a great day.

Hey there!!! Looks like you see the problem - I am about 4 years out myself - and you gotta STAY on the grind - letting it get away from you lets the pounds creep up.
Lemme ask a question - why is walking the only thing you do for exercise? Not knoocking the walking - it's all good - but you need something a lil more agressive, if you can manage it. Get into a gym or start using some things at home for some resistance exercises - when you increase your muscle tone, you look better and burn more calories even at rest.
As for diet - get back to putting protein first. I am willing to bet that you have been sucking down carbs like there's no tomorrow. After you come off the liquids - make sure you plan your meals each week and each day - don't get caught having to 'grab' something - that's when you are more prone to mistakes. Target 60g of protein a day and 60oz of water to start - and see how hungry you end up - you'd be surprised.
And don't be a stranger!!! Accountability and resources are KEY!!! We are here for you girl - keep us updated!!!!

In life, and especially on this journey there are sure to be days when you falter and give in.......just remember to never give up.
