Today is my first post on this forum. I'm excited to announce that tomorrow is my one year anniversary. I lost a total of 48 pounds (THATS IT) and I've gained 10 of it back! I'm not proud of this but I need to put it out there to keep myself accountable! All the things that I've done wrong...I know exactly what happened and I know exactly what I need to do. I ate way too much and ate all the wrong things! I haven't exercised since the surgery and stopped caring about the weight loss. I'm so scared that I'm not going to be able to do it and I'm fearful that I've already ruined it! Right now I'm trying to refocus myself and do it right...if it's not too late. I've started the 5 day pouch test and basically went back to the post op diet. Today was a success. Day one! It was hard but I think I've got it?!?!

Just checkin in...day four of gettin back at it! I've worked out everyday, kept my calorie intake between1100 and 1300, and my spirits are still high. I'm using my fitness pal and looking into doing the 5:2 diet. I saw it on this forum when I joined up!!!! I did gain a pound so I'm now at 211 but I'm not discouraged. I'm in it to win it this time around! Oh yeah....definitely feeling more restriction since drinking more Protein shakes instead of shoveling in the food! ????

I was 248 pounds when I had my surgery. Got down to 200, now I'm at 210. I was using MyFitness Pal for awhile and when I looked back today, I saw that in Feb is when I started straying. So I really only stuck to it for about 5 months. Like you said...Today was a good day! The first day of the rest of the good days! Good luck to you.

Best decision ever! I'm so excited to receive such support on my first night on this forum. I've got this! I'm on it! I'm totally gonna workout to boot... I remember this excitement, exactly one year ago today. The night before the surgery, knowing that my life was about to change. Here I am again, new hope, new realistic dreams, and a bit more experienced. THANK YOU EVERYONE!

So many reasons...I thought for sure I was going to rock this journey! I was so happy and ready. I did my research, I was careful and lost weight quick. I think loosing it so quickly made me brush off exercise. Then I met a friend in town who had the surgery and looked amazing. She proceeded to tell me that she ate what ever when ever. She also added that she ate very small portions of everything but it clicked with me. I was so sad and mourning food that I actually told myself..."I can be careful and do it like her!" It was a slippery slope and I spiraled out of control. Don't get me wrong...she did nothing wrong! I take complete responsibility for what I did. I asked my husband yesterday, if he was disappointed in me? He said he loved me first, then paused...I gave him permission to be honest and he said I've lost my will power. This also resonated with me! So here I am...looking for support and accountability!
