Hello my name is Katie I had the RNY 3 years ago February 21st starting weight was 277 I am now down to 196 still not where I want or need to be! I have lost all motivation I was last summer down to 186 but cause of my lack of following the rules my weight has started to creep back up! Someone please be my buddy and help motivate me. Also my husband and I have been trying for 1.5years to have baby #2 with no luck so I have been taking fertility drugs to help and believe that is why I may be also gaining my weight back! Someone please help me!

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 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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
