Need Help

Hi Everyone,
   I could really use some advice. PLEASE tell me how to get back on track so I can lose the 35 pounds that I've gained in the last year! I am in the process of having my pouch checked for complications. Any advice would be sooo appreciated!

Teresa,
If I were in that situation I would go back to my doc's original protocol from when I first had surgery. Maybe that would help. Sorry I couldn't help anymore.

Hi Teresa...
I am in the same boat as you.  I am looking to lose 30# and I guess I really do know how to do it.  Eat GOOD nutritious foods, in measuredportions, and MOVE more.  Wether its getting to the gym, or walking around the neighborhood!  I have started today by ridding my house of my weaknesses (crackers and high carbed foods) I will replace with high protien and nutrious foods like, eggs, turney (sliced) chicken, seafood.  I will consintrate on eaching GOOD healthy meals and drink water in between.  I dont imagine it will take me long to get into a routine.  The hardest part will be the start of it.  After that, I seem to become compulsive (in anything I do).
I hope this helps you get on track! Feel free to Email me to let me know how you are doing.... or if you want to help eachother reach our mutual goals!
Sending best wishes your way!
