I have gained 40 lbs back. I am 6 months away from being 10 years out from RNY!!

I have gained 40lbs of my 120lbs lost back and it is making me crazy.  I have always just stayed at the same weight after surgery until the last year and now I have found myself 40lbs heavier.  I am living in a new state, new job, no friends and my new husband doesn't really understand since he wasn't there when I had the surgery or the first 8 years of time.  I struggle with having nobody to talk to and making bad choices when it comes to eating.  Any help, support, or friendship that I can find on here would be wonderful.  I use to use this site religiously for the first 4 years after surgery and I should have continued.

I can understand why you allowed food to comfort you considering all the new things in your life.  Think back to when you were losing and got to goal.  Remember how wonderful you felt?  Go back to what you were doing about 6 months after surgery.  Protein first, don't drink while eating or 30-60 minutes after.  The boards have many people with the same issues and wanting to get the extra weight off so you are not alone.

One person said they eat every 3 hours and that's what I'm doing.  I have a protein each time I eat.  Make yourself a priority.  Get rid of those foods that aren't appropriate for you.  If your husband is able to eat things you can't, ask him to keep them out of your sight.

You can get the weight off and you will feel great about your success.  Good luck!!

Hi sweetie, sounds like you're doing splendid! I am 12 years out and have you'd back and forth so many times!  My new doctor recently recommended bariatric fusion for life diet plan and I am on day 4 and down 5lbs already. I'm interested in the program you used too, if you'd care to share your experience! Brightest blessings doll and congrats!

I've never heard of the fusion for life plan, going to check it out today. I am 5 years out and I'm up about 30 pounds.... I'm feeling gross about myself the way I used to, and I'm noticing my attitude is really poor. Time to take better care of myself and step it up and shed what I've gained!  Glad to find this forum and be back on oh.com.
