Regaining after 7 years post op gastric bypass: Support and advice needed

Good afternoon. I hope everyone is doing well. I had gastric bypass back in December of 2007. I've been fluctuating between 207 and 225. I know part of it is me going into OLD habits. LORD KNOWS i'm trying to regain focus. But i'm not embarrased by it either...as i know i can lose it just by refocusing. I cut myself a little slack, why..heck i've had 2 other children since 2007. I gain 30 pounds with both and i lost it with both.

We need to support each other in staying focused. If you fall get back on the wagon, but GOD knows don't stay on the ground. KEEP IT MOVING!!!

I am 8 years post op and I know the feeling of being frustrated because Of weight gain. I basically gained most of my weight back and now hoping to have a revision. I am making efforts to lose the weight on my own but its hard. I started gaining the weight maybe 2.5 years ago after I had my daughter and since then have keep gaining. You must find the will power to get back on the right track and keep God by your side dear.

Good Morning All,

I too have fallen off the wagon. Day of Surgery (372) lowest (189). Now (217). 5 years out. I'm not as motivated or committed. Have gym membership but ride right by. I will have to buy a new wardrobe if this keeps up. I need to stop eating after 8pm and keep my intake around 1800 calories.

Go into KETOSIS FOR 6~7 Months. No Bread! No Canned Soda or bottled sweet drinks, no rice, no chips, noodles, sugar of any kind.......no potatoes, no peas and no corn.   Drink an adequate amount of water. Eat all the leafy veggies you want, salad with low calorie vinegrettes all day.....ALL THE MEAT YOU WANT ALL DAY if you want.....but I advise realistic portions per meal. Go for it.

I totally agree with you Cherikola, I fell off track and gained back 20-30 pounds back, and I changed my eating habits back to the basics, pretty much as you said (no flour, no sugar) and I loss without any effort. I did exercise 4-5 days per week, simply by walking; I started out at 2-3 miles/day then I got up to 5 miles/day 5 days per week. The weight fell off....good advice. Oh, and water is so very important.
