weight gain after 6 years out need help

I am also 6 years out and a 40 pound gain. I joined weigh****chers on August 11 and have lost 18 pounds so far, I am happy with that. Yes it seems slow compared to post WLS but think about before WLS. The new point system is nice with the veggies and fruits being free, I do a protein smoothie every morning before my workout to make sure I get enough protein, I eat alot of fish, tuna, and chicken. I love the meetings and they really keep you on track, and if you buy a monthly pass you get the etools for tracking what you eat which is the biggest help. I dont think alot of us are aware of what we can all eat at this point, Good Luck to all.

OMG this has helped me so much, I am 2 years out, (LAPBAND)and have had some weight gain, basically I just got off track, but I know I can do it, I did it before.........The thing I hated the most is in my area where I live, I didn't have any support meetings to go to, and I think that would of made a HUGE part in me sticking with the weight loss..............I hooked back up to this forum and hopefully I will stick with the program...........with everyones help.......Thank you for your ideas, I know I have to get back on the band wagon and drink my water, exercise, get my protein in, and exercise some more..................If anyone has any more ideas, please remember me.  Thank you...Jill

I'm RNY GBP 4 years out and have regained over half of my weight loss back.  It's frustrating to say the least.  My hunger never went away after surgery, which doesn't help.  Would love to join you on your journey back to health.
