Hello,

Ill be 6 yrs PO in April 2018 Somehow I lost a year bc I was thinking it was 5 lol. Im struggling with regain of 35-40 lbs (it was 20 lbs) did you have any issues with that? I was going to the gym 6 days a week for 3.5 years had surgery on my knee in 2015 couldn't go for 5 months and lost all motivation. I know what I need to do but cant seem to do it. I fail pretty much everyday. I could give advice all day but doing it myself seems so hard right now. My clothes are tight and I dont like the feeling. I need to go back to basics and probably go to support group as well. Do you track macros? If so can you tell me what yours are right now I try to stay at 1100 cal, under 50 fat, 80+ protein, 2300 sod, less that 160 carbs which probably seems like a lot. I do eat a lot of fruit and veggies but added starchy bad carbs as well. What are sample meals you cook or eat and do you do snacks? Sorry for so many questions I just need to find something that works or Im going to weigh 346 lbs again. I will NOT let that happen so Ive got to fix that now.

Thanks Jennifer :)

Thank you for your post... I printed it and will use it as a guide. I will be 6 years on 4/23/18. I lost 190 pounds and maintained for 3.5 at 163-165. I was going to the gym 6 days a week for 2-3 hrs a day. I had to have surgery on my left knee and wasn't able to go for 5 months and thats all it took. I lost ALL motivation and was still eating like I was maintenance which was whatever I wanted bc I burned it off.. Long story short I have since struggle for the last two years trying to lose the 35/40 lbs that I gained. I always said " I would not be that person" and here I am feeling like a failure. I know what I need to do but cant seem to get it together. The scale went down as of this morning so I will continue what Im doing. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Congrats on the loss!

Thanks!

You may want to post this on the general forum and on the rny forum. This area doesn't get much traffic.

I know of a couple people at least on the boards here that do the keto thing and I'm sure you'll get responses.

what are your thoughts about this diet to help maintain weight loss after rny?

I have to eat frequent meals. Can this work for us? Anyone tried it and adapted it fir rny graduates?
