Going to be SUCCESSFUL this time!!

Hello All!  I had my RNY 4.5 yrs ago and lost close to 80 lbs, well fast forward to now and I have gain all, but 35 pounds back.  I had gone for my annual check up with my bariatric surgeon three weeks ago and his assistant mentioned going BACK to my nutritionist and counselor.  Well...... I had never gone to one in the FIRST PLACE.  I didn't even know that one was available to me!!  I wondered why right after my RNY patients would mention going to their Nutritionist and I would wonder "where are they?"   So now after 4.5 yrs, I find out that I am entitled to one with the Weight Loss group that I am a member of.    After having an hour meeting with Nutritionist AND a one hour meeting with a weight loss therapist last Friday, I feel like I am really on a roll again with losing (actually I weighed this morning and have lost five pounds!!   The nutritionist told me about a little book called "The Calorie King" and it is wonderful!!  It tells how many calories, fats, and carbs are in most foods AND 200 restaurants!!  It suggested eating an unwich (sandwich with no bread, wrapped in lettuce) and I tried one today and it was fantastic!   I plan to lose 65 lbs and definitely know where your support I CAN DO IT!!

 Good for you! I know you can do it!! =)

Hi Kathy, Please post often. I've tried for 4 years to get back on track. Good Luck. Kathy (I'm a Kathy, too)

Congrats to you!! 

Hi Kathy
Congratulations on 5 lbs.  I came back today because I have 60 lbs to lose.  I am coming up on 5 years post op as well.  So what did your nutritionist say you were supposed to eat?  We can do this!  Just me

Hi I'm Kathy and I came back today because I have about 45 lbs to lose. I'm about 4.5 years out and need to get to my goal!   I know we can do this if we support each other.  I don't seem to have any support around me because everyone close to me just wants me to eat what they eat.

 Hi there,
I know if we all work together and support each other - we can do this! Yes some of us have been here off and on for several years but that doesnt mean we cant support one another....Congrats on the weight loss :) Looking forward to hearing more
