Back to Basics Boot Camp

I am feeling like I need a supportive group that I can be accountable to on a regular (AKA almost daily) basis. So I started a group yesterday and am looking for additional members. It's called Back to Basics Boot Camp. I am a RNY patient who is struggling with sticking to my plan and exercising. (OK, so I don't really exercise...that is just pure struggle not just sticking with it). If you are looking for a supportive person or group that can give you a 'gentle' swift kick in the rump when you need it, maybe we can help each other out.  That is surely what I need right now.

I am all for joining! To say it's much needed for me doesn't come close to the truth!

 I can't find this group?

Come on by...let us know what you need and how we can support each other.

 Count me in! I am going on 3 years out and am gaining weight! I could use all the support I can get.

Hello Im Pam and yes I need the same  had the RNY in December 2006 and lost 135 lbs .now i have gained back about 55.  I feel terrible like a big failure.  My godsons mother has lost 200 lbs and kept it off. ..but she is exercising and has become bulimic. I just want to get below 200 pounds and get back into those size 14 wranglers that i was in before I  lost  control.  I have been doing the 5 day pouch test just to see if my pouch will work correctly if I work it correctly.  I am not drinkiing with meals, not drinking carbonation and eating lots of protein and protein shakes with low calories/carbs.  I would enjoy chatting with you more and maybe we can help each other stay on track. 

thanks for responding.  My husband's family is hispanic and I drwon in carbs averytime we get together.LOL I have decided thought to do like you mentioned. When they ask me to bring dessert, I use spenda and sugarfree.  I am also resolved to take a nice green salad along with the desserts, to have something to eat with my protein.  It is hard and the WLS is not a miracle cure, it is a tool.  I was sure that I had stretched my pouch, but I have discovered that If I follow the rules, done drink 30 mins before and after meals, dont drink with meals, two bites protein to one bite vaeggies, etc, I still feel the restriction.  I have been folowing the five day pouch teast (5 day pouch  diet) google it ) and have lost 9.9 pounds and have not been craving the salty, cruchy junk so much.  I want to continue to communicate with o you on here.  Maybe we can keep each other motivated.

Wow! 9.9 pounds that is amazing! Good for you!

Post whenever you feel the struggle or need support.

Those pounds are probably water weight but what the heck.  I will be chatting with you soon when that carb monster looms
