Back On Track Together
How do you get back on track after 6yrs?
Marilyn - You can do this! I have just joined OH a week ago and I already feel a renewed committment! Logging on everyday is my support group. I read whatever I can and learn from each post. I started the 5 day pouch test this Monday (before reading the monthy 5DPT post) and I can already feel the difference mentally and physically. I think the trick for me is to log on to OH everyday. Good Luck to You!! And no need to feel ashamed, you learned a lot during the past 6 years.
Ciao,

Hi Marilyn! I am new to this group since Monday. I hear everything you are saying. I had my surgery in July 2003. At the time of my RNY, I was at 288. After a gallbladder surgery and small bowel obstruction, my lowest was 147. Then I moved to DE, 2 1/2 years ago, while moving to the beach was a great move - it also allowed me to go crazy with my eating. I ate lots of crab soup and sweets have become a real issue as well. I started back on Monday with the 5 day pouch test at 201 pounds. All my clothes are extremely tight at size 12. I got rid of my size 8 and 10's as I am so annoyed with myself. I know several friends and family are like - you did this surgery and now you just keeping putting on the weight. Coming back to the place where I find help originally - has really helped me this week. I wish you all the best and if you need a friend don't hesitate to send a message. I am such an emotional eater and want to snack at night, but when you rededicate yourself by coming here - you can fight the good fight. Wishing you all the best.
