New here

Hi. I'm glad I saw this group and I'm hoping it's not too late to join.  I have gained a lot of weight since my by-pass surgery in Oct. 2004.  I have just recommitted myself to getting back on track.  I did the 5 day pouch test last week and and happy to see that I didn't ruin my pouch. Kinda feeling bummed today and feel like I'm not doing good enough.

Welcome Judy,

Never to late to join and start making decisions that can turn you around and get you back on track...I check in almost daily, activity is slow but I'll be here to talk & give personal feedback if you come on to post...

I've done the 5-day myself a couple of times in the last 2 years, it definately helps to bring things back into perspective and if you can stick to avoiding the "white" addictive carbs, it will go a long way to help you get jumpstarted again, my problem is slipping back into those pesky  white carb choices...It seems everytime I get going in the right direction I get complacent about my progress and slide backwards...Its crazy  this food addiction and very hard to beat down - just keep plugging away, so far I have not fallen to the bottom of the abbis, just slide down the side a little and then claw my way back to the top...

Wi**** wasn't this way - definately feel you pain...

See ya around the board...
