I am in the same boat....only 3 years out. Lost 140 but have slowly put 20 on over the last18 months. I came here looking for help/support this far out. Maybe we should start our own support group!

Seven years out from surgery, lost 250lbs. I have gained 60lbs in the last two years. Primarily a because I stopped exercising and increased snacking. I don't eat a lot. Just the wrong things. I am not getting discouraged because I know what I need to do. Taking a deep breath and getting back on my program.

Let's be each others motivation.

Ok my fingers or key board are out of control! What I was trying to say was year one - easy; year two - on a roll; year three - injury and LAZY; year four - struggling to find my resolve again! I am not discouraged, I also know what to do. I am frustrated with myself for not doing it!

What are you all trying? I thought of picking one goal then sticking to just that Neil I have made it a habit again....ie walking daily or getting my Water in.

Thoughts?

How can we help each other?

Just started myfitnesspal to track food. I am one of the lucky or unlucky depending on your perspective that can eat ANYTHING. No problems with dumping.

I am a grazer. So keeping track of my food is important for me.

I am in the same boat. No dumping....ever. Never thoughts would wish I would dump, but I do! Only rarely is I eat too much sugar do I feel slightly sick. I have tried several online trackers. Really they all work....assuming you use them as intended. What I need is to get my head back in the game.

I also use myfitnesspal. I love it! It is so easy to scan the food/drink I am having and have all the nutritional content.

I need a buddy too. I am only eight mints out and have only lost one pound in four weeks. I do cardio at least twice a week. But I do have trouble keeping to food rules. The carb monster has began creeping back in my life. I am only 45 lbs from goal and am struggling to stay strong.

Scanning this thread I am going to check the MyFitnessPal app.

I'll be your buddy for sure!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
