New to Group

Hi everyone,
   Had my RNY 4/2008 and was at my goal about 8 months ago.  I know I have been putting some pounds on but I haven't had the nerve to hop on the scale.  I will do that on Monday as I did when I was post surgery.
   I came to a personal low today when I had to up size in a pair of pants.  This is my first step to getting back on track.  I am going to read through your posts and get some ideas for dropping 10-20 pounds.
   Thanks for your help!
Gail

Hi Gail,

Welcome aboard...How far out are you in the process?  I personally saw a recognizable re-bound weight gain at about 3 1/2 yrs out, put on 16 lbs from my personal comfort level and 3 over my surgeon's goal...Played around with fixing it for about a year and then finally got bit by getting serious when I say this group...I think 10 in a year is a very workable goal and I've been making adjustments and kickstarted myself into losing again...

My major change has been to keep it clean, really watch the tempation to graze and choosing a much lighter dinner, with a "big" meal ( if you call anything we can eat big  ) at lunch...This morning I'm down 7lbs from my highest for 2010 and slowing making progress in the right direction...

You can too, hope to see you around the boards, come on in and post questions, thoughts, ideas, etc...
