Weight coming back

Had my surgery Aug 2006 went from a 226 to 130..
Last year they thought my husband had cancer (thank GOD it wasn't ) but n the time wating I started eatting alot be cause of my nerves ( NOT A GOOD EXCUSE) Well i need to get back on track im back at almost 160. I dont want to see my self hit that 200 mark again...
Can anyone out there gve me any ideas, Thought about the 5 day pouch test can any one let me know if that works thanks all..

 I am kind of in the same boat, after my RNY in Sept of 2007 I have had 3 babies and now find myself creeping back up on the scale.  I am scared, and getting depressed which doesn't help my situation. sigh.  What is the 5 day pouch test?  

I wish I had some good ideas, good luck!

type in the 5 day pouch test and it will pull it up. So what have you tried so far?

I know this is a late post, but I have not been on this board before.  I don't know about the 5 day pouch test, but I would always say that going back to basics will be the best thing.

Protein first, limit carbs to good carbs, Log everything you put in your mouth, weigh and measure, water, vitamins, and exercise, exercise and then exercise.

You have recognized a need, now you need to develop a plan you can measure and evaluate. 

Good Luck!!

I am in a very similar situation.  I had my surgery 8/1/07 and went from 238 to (currently) 170. I further complicate things with type 1 diabetes.  I have no problem eating candy, chocolate, juice (for a low blood sugar), chips, crap, junk, you name it...STILL can't handle chicken breast, beef 2 days in a row, things like that. I wonder WHY I'm eating the wrong things?  When I see my surgeon, he tells me I'm staying right around the same weight (it's been a few years now), but says I'm not down far enough as my BMI is still considered "obese".  I guess I feel like a failure with the surgery. I think what I need to do for ME is make another appt with my shrink and see if I can't make some headway with this. I used to be an exercise junkie...now I could care less.  NOT good...no motivation, too much trouble.

Sorry it took me so long to reply.  We sound like we have alot in common except the only kid of meat i can eat is Chicken (Baked)
Maybe we can help each other out on this problem be each others rock lol...
My problem is i hate  to excercise.. LAZY in that area..
 

We are two peas in a pod. I used to be obsessed with lifting weights and eating right. That was four years ago. Now I could care less. (shame, too!) I am very lazy now in the excercise area.  I think  being there for each other is a GREAT idea!! We need all the help we can gather right now! Holidays will be here before we know it, too and I want to weight LESS not more! Got any ideas on this one? LOL..

Talk soon,

I had my surgery in June 2007. I have been at the present weight (147) for the past year and a half, but haven't reached my goal of 135lbs. I read about the Dukan Diet and sent for the book from Amazon, Been doing it for a week and have lost 5 pounds!!! It is a great program and I have never felt hungry. When I do feel hungry, I can eat from the list of foods allowed.
The diet is somewhat similar to Atkins, but low fat. You can search it online. It is working for me!!!!

I just read you can't handle meat!!! Well, then, this diet is not for you. Hope you find something that works.
