Hi new here...

hello, I'm new to this group.  I had my RNY in July 2004.   I have gotten into some of my old bad habits and have gained more than I can say out loud.  Would love the support if I can get it.

thanks

Connie

I had RNY 07/07 and I just posted for the first time in a long time last night.  I feel your pain!  Just amazing how easy it is to get off track.  I had a good day today just got to string a few together now.  Good luck. I will keep an eye out for your posts lets get this weight back off!

LeeAnne,

i am ready!... Support is key I think 😊

Hey you guys welcome back!!!  You came to the right place for support and you took that first step toward getting rid of that gain!  It is a one day at a time thing for me.  Sometimes I just need to get through this hour.  It helps to share and that helps us stay focused.  Eye on the prize!!  Oh and you don't have to say your pounds gained out loud here if you don't want to.  No one here will judge you.

I'm new to the group as well.  Just joined the other day.  I had the Sleeve done in 2012 and haven't had a very good year this last year.  I haven't made it to my goal yet and need to get back on track as well.  I "restarted" my higher protein eating Monday and haven't done too bad so far.  The kids and grandbaby are moving back to town this weekend and we are helping so I'm sure that will be a challenge.  We can do this!!  We got this!! 

Welcome to BOTT.  

So you already have one day of being on track so keep building on that.  Higher protein will give you satiety so you won't be as hungry.  

How great it is that your kids and grandbaby are moving back!!  You'll need lots of energy from being on track to spoil your grandbaby-LOL.

You're right....We can do this and we've got this!!

Hi Lisa Glad we're here together😊

Hi Connie,

Welcome to BOTT.  I'm glad that you joined and posted so we can support you.

Old habits creep in and unfortunately regain happens.  We have a daily check-in and eats post.  I encourage you to post to it.  It has really helped me to stay on track.  If I don't post it to all of you, then I don't eat it.  I don't want to come in and revise my accountability.  

Another suggestion is tackle one bad habit at a time.  Sometimes it can be overwhelming to take on lots all at one time.  For example, if you're grazing, drinking with meals, eating too many simple carbs, take one of those and stop it for a few weeks.  Then move on to the next habit.  Just having one or two days of being on track creates momentum to keep you on track.

You can do this!!

Thanks Cathy...I've been off diet Pepsi since New Years and all diet soda since 1 st February.   I'm starting to walk again and trying to not eat when I drink.   I am taking baby steps.  I started to get back on track in January...I used this site allot when I first had surgery, then feel away.   I was ashamed to come back.  But I just can't do it with out support.   My hubby is awesome...but I need more😊

It is so easy to get off track and have old habits sneak back in. We all do it because we are human, but we are also strong and determined.You can do this. Welcome
