New And In Need Of Support

[MrsKrueges 0]

Hi there! I'm writing on here because I'm in major need of support. I've fallen off the band wagon on weightloss and started to gain weight back again.

I'm almost at my 3 year post-op "birthday" (May 27th) and up until recently had lost over 100 lbs. The lowest I ever got was about a year after surgery, going from 287lbs to 150. Since I've met my husband and gotten married I feel like I've blown back up again, teetering at the 185-190 mark.

I no longer have my weightloss binder (stupid of me) and I would love some support from people who aren't going to judge me because I did the surgery. Please help.

Oh, and I have an appointment this Friday to speak to a dietician again for the first time since the surgery almost. Any tips on exercise and just, what to eat... I could really use the info. Thanks again.

I'm a little confuse. You had the lap band removed? I'm sure with a dietician you will get back on track & lose weight again. Think positive. You are sure your not pregnant?

No, sorry I didn't clarify, it was rreally late when I posted.

I had the ruox-en-y surgery done and I'm almost positive I stretched the pouch out. I'm also positive I am not pregnant seeing as my husband is out to sea 95% of the time lol. (Navy wife).

I'm seeing a dietician because I have to go through all of these channels with tricare prime, I haven't had an insurance that would allow me to keep up the doctors visits for follow ups.

How long have you been out of surgery? Or have you had it yet?

Oh ok I understand now. Well with a dietician you will have control over food so that's always a great thing. My surgery is 5/30 I'm so looking forward to a life change. In this pre-op diet I learn self control. Just imagine I cook 7 days a week 3 meals a day,and I'm sipping a shake LMFAO... while everyone is having a juicy pork chop,and some rice,and Beans with salad. It's ok we used to make microwave popcorn movie theatre butter,and watch movies or regular TV. Now I can make the popcorn,and get full by smelling the popcorn while I have a diet snapple follow by a sugar free pudding. Girl it haven't been easy,but guess what I want this surgery,and I'm willing to go threw it all for a better life. Well almost eight thirty AM I have to make Breakfast. Will try to get back on over the weekend & if not after surgery.

Mami: congrats and good luck on your surgery!!

I remember that diet, I only drank Water and carnation instant breakfasts, still made dinner for a different boyfriend, and did it for 9 days instead of the 7 required lol.

It has been totally worth it and I can truthfully say the surgery has changed my life for the better in every way. Good luck and keep in touch!!

Vamp: no... I've never heard of that, how do you do that????
