Feeling like a failure at this moment..

OK, I can not figure out why I have 3 posts before this.  I really messed this thread up!!

I have also gained about 20-25 pounds since my surgery. Yesterday was my anniversary (5 years). On February 13, 2011 I log onto MyFitnessPal.com and have already lost 4 pounds. It's the accountability of tracking everything you put in your mouth and your exercise and water. After realizing that if I didn't do something quick I would regain all of my weight. My total weight loss was 150 I am now sitting at 130 pounds lost and I do not want to gain anymore. Hang in there and write every down like Kim S stated.
--5) Journal everything you put into your mouth, and journal your exercise.
Good Luck!

Well I could not seem to get my motivation back so I went all the way back to basics. I called my bariatric doc and made and appointment. I told her that I had weight gain and was looking to get into a medical weight loss management plan....to get me back on track. I am so happy that I did. She is first going to order some test to make sure my pouch is working properly since I am 6yrs out.  In the meantime she is sending me to a dietician to place me on a protein fast for six weeks. This will basically get me back to eating properly. After the test results come back if everything is okay she will have me continue with dietician to re introduce carbs and if not I will be set up for the necessary revision. Anyway I would suggest you call your Doctor because just going back into cleveland clinic brought back that honeymoon feeling...you know when we had to go in for check up etc. ...I will keep you posted on my progress...I just went in this week to meet with my Doc so after I meet with the dietician I will share with you the six week plan...hope this helps
