Hi everyone

Hi everyone, I'm LeeAnn and I'm post RNY 6+ years, I've gained back 30lbs and I'm determined to lose it!! Since Monday I've gone back to getting my 64 ounces of water in and protein protein protein!  Just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope for some great suggestions for getting back on track

Hi LeeAnn, 

You will learn a lot from this site/group. I drink over a gallon of water a day. Maybe that's too much but I get so thirsty. Glad your getting back on track. 

Good luck,

Amie

Welcome LeeAnn. This is a great site for support and suggestions to help us in our journey. 

Welcome LeeAnn,

I also gained back 30 pounds! I am down 5 pounds since getting back on track. Wish I would have put an end before I let myself get to the 30 pounds, but I guess losing 30 is much easier than having to lose 50 or more! I also am back to drinking my water, but must admit I have not gotten to the 64oz. a day yet. But besides coffee each morning, water is the only thing I drink. Much better than soda which I had let myself go back too! I'm also trying to eat as few carbs as possible. I know for me personally, carbs make me crave sugar and more carbs. After having carbs out of my system for the past 3 weeks I feel MUCH better already :D I wish you and the rest of us the best of luck :D Post often as you can. It helps everyone.

That was a problem with me CARBS... I've not touched them in a week! My problem is the crunchy aspect of them, and I found a great replacement for the crunchies... I was on Pinterest for some ideas and came across cheese crisps... I tested a bunch of different cheeses till I found the one that crisp up like a cracker so now that's my go to snack.  I also know water has been a great help, I'm not a soda drinker, I'm also down 4lbs since Monday I know it's going to be a slow process but I'm determined to do it!! Good luck on betting back on track!!! I'm here for ya

I have seen those cheese crisps and wondered how they tasted and turned out! Nice to hear from someone who actually has tried them! Were they difficult to make ( burn easily is my concern)? I will be giving them a try for sure now! Thanks for sharing :D

Microwave on parchment paper or paper plate a minute or less depending on the size

Can't get any easier than that!! Yay! Thanks again.

Welcome back!  Post and share often!

Hi LeeAnn!

I am almost 5 years postop (in July) and I also let myself regain 30 pounds.

Carbs got me into trouble also. Plus I started to eat emotionally again and having hormone issues with insomnia, has not helped!

I have lost 12 pounds so far in the past 3 months. Coming off a lot slower this time around, but still have restriction, and still can dump. I think after getting off the carbs then I had some recently then wished I would not have done that!

We can do this together! It is so nice to have people who understand
