Back On Track Together
Intro
Hi,
This is a quick intro before I get into my issues. I was Sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Joya in May of 2007. So just over two years ago. I lost 90 pounds by the next year and then stalled. I ended up around 185. People were going nuts over me. I was 199 this morning. I never made it to my goal of 150 and well, you see the problem. I have gain 15 or so pounds this winter. MOST of them in the last 2 or 3 months.
I am not one that is good with details such as keeping track of calories. I don't care what I eat and tend to gravitate towards easy things. I have very managable hunger and was working out 2 to 3 times a week all winter for 30 minutes very vigorously. Now I am not going to the Y anymore and have to pick up the slack by myself. Not sure what to do. More to follow in a non-introduction post.
Thanks and nice to meet you all,
Amy

Dandelion i too had the sleeve and remeber you have to work it and be in control i also have not met my goal by about 15lbs but i have managed to not gain by exercising and trying to stay on alot of good protein nd low carb,weigh everyday if that is what it takes,come to the boards as often as possible to give and get support and know you are not alone.You can and will loose that fifteen lbs one lb at a timeThe weather is pretty now so walk everyday,watch your calories eat good fresh vegtables and fruit with your protein.Good wishes coming your way.
Amy -- I'm so glad you chose to join us 
I think you will find the folks her caring, supportive, accepting and helpful. I have. 
Unfortunately, there is no magic procedure. Calories count exactly the same as they did before our surgeries - whatever the procedure. There are still only three ways to loose weight - ****at fewer calories (2) burn more calories by exercising and (3) a combination of 1 & 2. It is that combination that we must use FOREVER if we are to reach and maintain our goal weight.
You know what to do - now the question is do you want a healthy weight enough to work at achieving it? Only you can answer that question and, by electing to be a part of BOTT you want it. I celebrate with you your decision to go for it
You're off and running and we'll be with you every step of the way if you'll allow it
Have a fine BOTT food and exercise day - 5 minutes at a time.
