Please kick me....
I used my revision as an opportunity to detox from carbs since I had to do the clear liquids and full liquids then the soft phase.
The maintainence part of the program scares me more then the losing part. Losing is easy when you are on the WLS honeymoon and you are getting rewarded all the time with weight loss and the hunger isn't there. It's when people no longer mention how good you look because they are used to seeing you this way. It is when you start eating more and the appetite kicks back in. That is when you need support more then ever.
I won't kick you. I just want to encourage you to stay with your support and take it one day at a time. Recovering from your surgery will give you time to get used to eating less. You will lose the extra weight and you will succeed. I know you will.
I'm so glad you shared the struggles you had and now are on your way to becoming healthy! We DO learn from our mistakes and learn how to make the changes so we don't do it again... You put it so well.... not just the eating part, but the emotional part....
I know I needed more protein drinks in my daily diet. 2 a day, in my coffee was pretty much all I was getting. I do believe higher protein can jump start things and get your metabolism moving. Also my exercise was severely lacking....
Thanks for your support! It does mean a lot!

Good for you for owning up to it! That is the first step, It is so easy to fall off the wagon. I have done it too, I think we all have. You have motivated me to get my batteries for my scale tomorrow, they have been out for at least a week and that is not good. I am also going to order some that Jay Robb egg protein and start doing more shakes. The IVF hormones make you feel like you have ongoing PMS and I have been craving carbs. THANK YOU for telling it like it is and by doing so inspired me to go back to basics to. You are the best and you can do this! Like they say on the RNY board "you can do hard things" Best of luck on the upcoming surgery I'll be swinging some critters for ya!

I have whined about this a few months ago... and got motivated to lose it, which I did. And it was easier than I thought it would be!!
NOW - I need to do what I need to do, and keep doing it. I don't want to be the "every other month" whiner here about maintenance - LOL....

He's been a lot more sedentary since he's met me too - and we've discussed we both need to get up and moving again.
Its so easy to quit doing the exercise and just sitting on the couch... heck - I fell into that routine last summer without anyone with me! LOL...
I'm getting motivated!
