I'm finally confessing

Hey All

I'm very nervous about posting this, but i have no one else to vent to. I'm 26 years old I had my surgery 10/3/2005 almost 3 years post op. I started off @ 285 and got all the way down to 185... 100 lbs (felt real good).  I'm embarrased to say i currently weigh 210, but I'm ready to change and get back to the happy perosn I used to be. To be honest I never really took the surgery very serious like I do now. I never had a pschy evaluation and I feel that would have help me understand what I was really getting myself into. Don't get me wrong this was the best decision i ever made in my life but it's time to make a CHANGE. I started off using EAS protein drinks and only did that for a few months(not consistent) but I stopped   . I wasn't taking my vitamins like I should and is very ashame of myself. People who know I had the surgey can't believe I'm still this size. I'm still considered  PLUS size. Last year I was able to wear a size 12 now I'm up to a 14 and some 16's. All my weight is in my mid section (what a bad place). I only cook on sundays and holidays the other days I will stop and get something on the go for me and 5 year old son. I honestly don't eat much it's the stuff I eat. I stop drinking pop and now all I drink is CL (fruit punch). I have an appoinment w/ my surgeon on monday and guys I'm afraid to go because I just don't want to be judge. I know I haven't done the things I should and my weight increase speaks for that. Once I see the surgeon Monday I will be ready to start the 5 DPT Wednesday  . I'm just trying to find the right protein drink for me. I can't beleive I'm in tears      typing  this, that's how embarrassed I am  .   There's only one person to blame for this and that's ME so I'm only mad at myself. Sorry for the long vent but I honeslt have no one else to talk to. Thank you for reading .........

hi mz shoog!

 

girl you think you're alone??!! you are not alone.  there are many of us who have regained weight.  i am 3+ years out and regained 30#.  i had "forgotten" the rules, i threw away the "owner's manual" of my wonderful tool and thought to myself "it'll be ok, i had surgery" ..well, i quickly found out that it wouldnt be ok, i couldnt just eat anything and everything i wanted.  i needed to remember why i got the surgery in the first place..to be healthier, to live healthier. that's when i started peeking around here again after years of being away and came across the 5dpt, im telling you..it set me straight again.  it took me back to the basics and reminded me of the rules..it totally helped me cut my carb cravings. i am happy to say that i am still going strong, i am working my tool, listening to my body and i am down 13# since 6/16/08! 

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO.

 

good luck, take care and keep your head up!  -hugs-

 thank you so much that really meant alot to me. congrats on your loss... i've been reading your lastest post about your success, i even printed out one of your post where you were given ideas of the items/foods you need for the week. my only problem is I'm trying to find the right protein shake that I can deal with.

At least you posted this here. I have yet to "fess up" and have a similar story . I had my RNY back in 2001, started 268 got down to 154 and started the gain, did have a baby, 2 knee surgeries (and may need a 3rd) and currently am steady at 185 or so. I am small boned and only 5'4 and carry most of my weight in the middle too. To add make maters worse, I inspired 2 other family members to go for it also and they have lost and kept off most of it, they are very thin-and rather smug about it too I may add.

 

I am tired right now but will check in later, don't know why I am posting this as I have never, ever in the 7 years of coming here have come out of the lurking mode but I too must get a grip on myself. I think that you starting with the admission that you are nervouse about posting and so forth spoke to me as I feel the same way. I also use EAS and totally believe in their shakes. 

I am not writing very well, I am sleep deprived-my toddler decided to wake up around midnight last night and have an all night party!_ so sorry if I don't make much sense.. Peace and check in later.

Thanks for posting, it made me delurk!

There is something called protoneix.You can take a nice teaspoon and get your protein in.  it cimes in a lemon flavor and one swallow is all you need for about 12-15 grams. Are you buying the powder or the pre made?

i bought premade, but i was i'm going to get powder (whey) this weekend.

 hey mz shoog,

I am so hooked on Syntrax Nectars.  I started with the Fuzzy Navel flavor but now am enjoying Roadside Lemonade and Syntrax Nectars Naturals, the Orange flavor.  They are whey.  I couldn't even stand the smell of the soy protein, let alone the taste!  I ordered some samples from www.vitalady.com and went from there.  Hope this helps, S

Don't be dicouraged. I started out at 375 got down to 169 then gained back to 238. I have been doing the 5dpt diet, now on day 4, I feel my pouch again, I have lost 7 pounds in 3 days. I am pumped.
