Hi Kristi  

What did you do to lose the 50 lbs.  I'm 13 years post RNY and have gained back 40.    Write me on my regular email  if you can  [email protected] 

 

Thanks

I recommend that you start tracking everything you put into your mouth with something like Myfitnesspal.  From there, get back to your basics.  These are mine, yours might be slightly different: 

1. Prioritize protein and water
2. Deprioritize carbs, especially the refined and processed ones
3. Make the most of healthy fats
4. Eat three meals a day with no snacks
5. Avoid liquid calories (breakfast protein shake is the exception)
6. Weigh portions, log everything consumed
7. Eat mindfully and with no distractions aside from real live people
8. Move as much as possible
9. Weigh myself daily
10. Be kind to myself

You CAN do this again.  You've done it before.  Have faith in yourself :)

I've been using fitness pal on and off too - trying to figure out what my magic number of carbs should be - so easy for those to go too high when I'm eating beans. I try to limit my fruit, a lot of it makes me sick anyway. Trying to find the balance!  

I regained 60 pounds over 2 years when I was about three years out from surgery.  Difference in living arrangements definitely played a big part.

I finally had enough and accepted that I was the only one responsible for what went into my mouth.  I quit blaming my environment for my own lack of self control..and that set off a chain reaction of good food choices.  I went back to basics and followed a shortened version of a progressive post-op diet to re-familiarize myself with my pouch capacity and then I ate protein-forward meals.  I ended up losing 44 pounds in 2 months and in 6 months I had lost 70 pounds, putting me at all all-time low.

So it can be done!  I know what my triggers are, and I do the best I can to eliminate them from my diet.  Once I allow myself to give in to anything that isn't part of my eating plan, it usually is a slippery slope to weeks of poor food choices.

Next thing to tackle is exercise.  Six years out in July, maintained a 200 pound loss and have not formally exercised at all yet.

That is encouraging!!

I really needed to read this today...i need to get back on track!

Thanks

Where can I get a shortened version on progressive post op diet to restart my motabolism
