4 yrs now after surgery
Well everyone,
I'm going on 4thif year have had some ups and down with keeping my and nutrition and vitamins in check. O I have gained back 30 pounds, but have noone to blame but me. There for a wild the only thing I wanted to eat was peanut butter and jelly crackers got back on the chips. But as I was eating those things I was also we drinking water crystal light. what it does is cause is the food to go straight to your pouch so on the end all your doing is picking up weight in pounds. Also the struggle that I've had is that I've had to try to learn how to eat right. If I didn't feel like eating I would just not eat, which is not good for us that have had the surgery. So now not found me a new doctor and I'm seeing him and getting back on track. But I'm glad to report that I am still in a size 14 Loving every bit of it. With the new doctor I was told to not drink when you're eating wait at least 45 minutes after you eat you eat, which is hard for me because I have to get used to not drinking. but I also refused to gain any weight and have to buy any more clothes. So help me Lord!

I feel your frustration! I am five years out now. Have gained roughly the same. I've gradually stepped back into old habits...not all, but enough. I know some weight re-gain was to be expected but this is more than I'm comfortable with. I'd like to lose at least half of it again. I know it's going to take discipline. I've toyed with the possibility of revision...but I'm not there yet. I don't think it's actually an option anyway as my insurance only covers WLS once. I'd like to think I can concur this on my own this time. My tool is still there, and it still works...when I do what I am supposed to. Just know your post encouraged me to remember I am normal, not alone, and capable. Thanks!
