Back to the boards! (x-post)

Hi all,
I'm coming back to the OH boards after a long time away. I had RNY in 2008 with Janey Pratt at MGH. Coming up on the 3 year anniversary mark now, and starting to feel myself bending the rules more often than I'd like to admit... I got on the scale to find out that I'm a full 5lbs heavier than I thought. I know 5lbs is a drop in the bucket compared to where I've been, but I don't want to find my weight steadily creeping upward. That's what got me here in the first place!

So long story short - I'm back and can't wait to join in on the discussions and get myself back on track.

Jessica,
I am right there with you.  I have avoided the boards to see if I could do it myself and gained 5 to 6 pounds.  I am 2 years and 4 months out.  I realize that is not alot of weight but I see myself heading in the same direction that got me there to begin with.  I am scared but have worked really hard today.  I have been charting my food today and am realizing that I have been consuming WAY to many calories.  I have consumed just around 1325 today.  Good Luck to you.

Terri,
I did the same thing! Logged my food yesterday for the first time in forever. Calorie-wise it wasn't so bad, but I was nowhere near protein target, and carbs were an awfully big portion of my day. *sigh*

I wish I had caught myself at 5 lbs like you.  I've gained 55 lbs and am not trying the 5 Day Pouch test in an attempt to get back on track.

I think I might give the 5DPT a try too - I just did a lot of googling and it seems worth a shot. I've gained back 5 but I never really made it to my personal goal... to be honest I'd like to lose 25-30. I'm really, really tired of the BMI chart still listing me as "moderately overweight" after all this work!
