Get back to basics, return to your wls info. I know you don't want to see those past days again, so get it together LOL you can do it. Just focus and maybe even go see your dietition what ever it takes, do it before it get worse. Good luck to ya.

Sometimes we eat more when we are trying to heal. Work at eating your protein (and get in some protein shakes too) as this will speed your healing. Start doing some walking for now; you can worry about weight bearing exercise later. Walk 20-30 minutes a day and concentrate on protein and water. My formula has always been PEW: protein, exercise, water! I've had lots of plastics and these always got me through. hugs, Ann RNY 9/10/99 260/124

Reiko, it is not abnormal to gain back 10 percent of your loss at around the 2 year mark, which you are fast approaching. This may explain some of the gain. 15 pounds is not alot,but your right, its time to get back on track to start making the scale go in the opposite direction before the 15 turns into 40. Since exercise is not an option for a little while, the only way to do it is thru eating habits. Get the bad stuff out of the house. Now! Start eating protein first at every meal and every snack. Eat frequently, small amounts, until your comfortable, not necessarily full. Up the water, and eliminate all other caloried drinks.Don't drink with or right after eating and eat more dense foods to stay full longer. And when you can exercise, add that. You can do this. One day at a time. I am also 20 months post-op and I know its a day by day thing. I alter my eating depending onwhat the scale says that morning. I allow a 2-3 pound window and as long as I am in that window I can have my little sugar snacks (which I live for!), go outside the window, and I'm cutting out snacks and upping the exercise. Come up with a plan that works for you and stick to it. You can do this!
