I need help losing it again!

I had my surgery back in 2005, I lost 150 lbs, not to shabby, but never got to goal weight.  Since I have put a great deal back on, I am in school, was on anti depressants etc.  So now I want to get back on track.  I know that I need to shock my body back into lossing, does anyone have any helpful ideas for me? I would go back to my surgeon but I feel absolutly like a failure and I can not face him:(

Also any thoughts on continued weightloss as well would be helpful...Thank you sooo much for any ideas:)

Don't be ahsamed, you are not the only one who needs help. You Doctors are there to help you. Be honest and tell him how you feel and that you would like help. Be proud that you are trying to get back on track.

Don't be ashamed, you are not the only one who needs help. You Doctors are there to help you. Be honest and tell him how you feel and that you would like help. Be proud that you are trying to get back on track.

There's a "Back on Track" forum here on  OH, and you could try the" 5 day pouch test" (Google it) for starters...Good Luck

I know how you feel.  It's so hard once you're so many years out.  Try the pouch test and try eating mostly protein.  I keep losing and gaining the same 20lbs, but I need to get on track and stay on track to lost about 80!  Best of luck to you.

I am in the same boat ... had Gastric bypass 9-2005 and did great for the weight loss and almost to goal.  Then, started getting sloppy and slowly at first now more rapidly regained weight and need to lose 100 pounds again.  Lost from 310 to 150 before and want to get down to close to 170 at least!!

I am looking for a good doctor and support group near Seattle, WA as my dr. has left and no support group. 

Any ideas?

Sounds like my story. Except I got to my lowest weight and then the very next month started gaining. I had GB 3/2008 got to 170lbs last July. Now  I am up to 240. So my lowest weight didn't last but a month. So disapointed in myself. But I'll get it figured out some how, some way.

Good luck, maybe start by logging your intake into a site like livestrong or fitday. Maybe see where you can tweak a few things.

Also, just wanted to say I gained my weighed working and going to school so I know that will be tough for you and wish you the best.

I had my surgery also Jan 24, 2005 and I went from 318 to 155 and stayed 155 to 158 for 5 years.  Then I started having episodes of not feeling right and started eating carbs and eating late at night.  I started gaining weight,  going to doctors here and there and finally after 40 pounds and all my bad habits back, soft foods and slider foods I was diagnosed with Severe Hypoglycemia.  Well I know what it is, what I need to do but I have gained another 10! I am stuck, trying to get back on track.  I feel  miserable, depressed and to be honest I would rather be dead than be 318 again.  I forgot about that "Back on Track" program, I am so afraid I stretched my opening up, so maybe I will try that and see if it works. I don't want to hit the panic button yet. but I am close. I am divorced and remarried and don't think my insurance would cover a revision.  My ex's insurance was the best. So I feel your pain.  I am also on Lexapro 30mg a day.  

I had my surgery back in 2003 and kept off 100 pounds for 5 years then all of a sudden it started creaping back on.  I didn't even realize it.  I could eat rice again and bread.  I was so happy to be able to have those foods I never questioned there was a problem.  After gaining 60 pounds now and being very ashamed of this failure.  I found out my band had erroded.  It wasn't all my fault after all.  I am seeing a surgeon in 2 weeks about a revision.  I am worried about having another surgery but I hate the way I feel.
