Gaining, OMG

Good morning:

Whoops! Have gained weight over the holidays and am feeling disgusted and scared. Was sick, ate sweets, didn't exercise and am depressed. Do you think the pouch test would help? What is the test? Up until now have been very successful, but have screwed up royally.

I am 2 years out with an RNY. It's funny, but I feel like I did when I was over 200 lbs - clothes getting tight and feeling sluggish.

Please, I need some sage advice and kind support.

((((((( hugs ))))))) Try doing what Judy is? Also get on the water regimen and start walking? Best wishes to you!

I am doing the pouch test with them this week.  I weighed (I probably shouldn't have yet) but I did this morning and I have lost almost 4 pounds in two days!!  Of course, I will have to watch what I eat after this is over.  I gained 6 pounds from my lowest and have lost 4.  I am thrilled.  I still have about 30 pounds to lose to reach my goal.  That is one thing I want to do this year...reach my goal.  You will lose it, just do as the other lady said and walk, drink water, and watch your food intake.

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I just won't go back to the way it was. Much too painful.

Carmen: Good job!!! You are doing wonderfully and will reach goal soon, I know. Thanks for your wonderful support. I will start walking everyday and drinking water.

Hugs,
Rudie

Rudie, I would just google the 5 Day Pouch Test and it should come up. I hear that it is good to do. I should do it too but I am going to put it off for a bit. I am going to go back to basics and do the pre op diet for a while.

You know what they always say here:

P=protein
E=exercise
W=water

We seem to be in the same boat. I guess that comes at times but I truly wi**** wouldn't. But I guess we must all face that "cruel world" at times.Good luck, my friend.

Brenda R:

Thanks so much for your support. You are doing sooo well! Congratulations. I googled the 5 day pouch test and now understand "sliders" food better. It was never as clear. Back to basics, water and walking. Her in Pacific NW we have had floods, lots of snow and I was sick for two weeks, but not the sun is coming out and it will be better.
Thanks.
Hugs,
Rudie

Thanks Brenda ... I think I will try it and see if it helps me
