Welcome to the Back on Track group. Having gastric bypass surgery opens doors to a whole new YOU! It is a life changing experience that allows you to do things you never thought possible. What happens when you put back on a little weight???? A lot of weight??? Well you can throw in the towel and concede muttering how life isn't fair and you knew you'd always be big or...

You can hold your head high and get back in that saddle. All the right things you did at the beginning can be done again. Are you eating carbs? Are you eating "white" foods? Exercising? Drinking Water? Get the picture. If you answered no to any of these CONGRATULATIONS! You have just found your places to start.

Come join us and we'll lose the regained weight and achieve our goals together! All are welcome!

I almost remember to the actual day that I realized I could eat more than one cup of food at a sitting. I remember being amazed at first then I was worried that maybe something was wrong with my poch. I refrained from allowing myself to overeat by eating all my meals off of a saucer. This is a habit that I still try to stick with. Over the past year I have faced many challenges and have returned to reaching for the wrong foods. With the inability to maintain my exercise routine, due to an injury, I have really allowed myself to hide behind the overweight girl just waiting to regain control over my life. Im here today because I know in my heart that I don't want to be that overweight girl any longer. I don't want to look in the morror and see her standing there looking at me. I have worked way to hard for that. I guess what I want to do is regain control of my body and mind. I turned to this forum for extra support because I know alone im not as strong as I could be with someone in my corner.

Susan, I did a 10 day pouch test and lost 8 lbs.so I was very happy. Problem is I should of kept repeating it until ?I lost all my weight. I gained it back. I had lap band surgery on 12/11/2011' lost 44 lbs. but could not eat without vomiting. It didn't matter how much I chewed the food or what it was. So I suffered until my insurance agreed to pay for gastric bypass on 4/28/2014. Anyway, I lost 80 lbs. but I also have reverted back to old habits and want to finish this journey.

      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
