AND I STARTED EATING AND DRINKING THE WRONG THINGS THAT IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EATTING OR DRINKING.. IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN GET IT ALL BACK? IF SO, HOW CAN I DO JUST THAT? CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME..

 Hello,

I am SO SORRY that I just now am seeing this.   My support group meeting last month was canceled due to the fact that i had intestional hernia surgery the week before my meeting.   Hon.....i am sure you were told the drill....no drinking carbonated drinks....no drinking 30 minutes before and after your meals.    You also are probably aware of what you should and should not be eating.   I am NOT going to lecture you.   Trust me....we are all human and food addicts or we would NOT have had WLS in the first place.    It is not too late to get back on track and start over.   I am going to tell you to go to the 5daypouchtest.com and try that for 5 days to decarb your diet.   Also if you can get all the "target red light foods" out of your house.    Measure your protions and make sure you are not eating too much.    Also remember protein first....then the veggies and fruit.   Stay away from chips, crackers, bread, any snacky type foods and soft drinks.   Now not knowing you nor what you are doing wrong it is very hard to help you out.   If you don't attend a support group for WLS patients.   PLEASE find one and get active in one.    That has  helped me ( and trust me I am NOT perfect either ),   If I can help you further please PM me here on OH.    I wish you well and never give up !!!
