I started going backwards before Christmas. I am 19 months out . I gained 15lbs all because I found it real easy to eat soft things that didn't bother my stomach . Like fudge . A big no no . I am back on track . Now I have lost another 5 lbs and going strong

You better know it, especially if you paid cash out of your own pocket. Long hours, sweat and tears! 5 years out and I won't turn back....size 221/2 to size 10. Still do my walking only problem is when I feel myself and eat sweets or something greasy. I get that sick feeling to throw up. Hang in there, it works.

10 yrs post op..... seriously battling 32 lb regain after a 175 lb weight loss. My advice..... RNY should not be an option except for extreme cases of morbid obesity. It requires 100% commitment 24/7 365 days of the year. If you're not ready to love yourself...... any permanent weight loss program will not fill the void.

I did the 5 day pouch test. It will get you back on track. When I finished, I heard about the 48 hr pouch test. It will help you get back to that right feeling and cleanse your system. Great luck to you.

Thank you I like this sight everyone is so much help and I am committed. I went from 458lbs to 245lbs they back up to 260lbs and now I am at 255lbs I will never go back that way again . It isn't about the money I spent but my health and the great feeling of being able to do things again and walk long distances as in hiking. Going out and sight see I love it. Thank you everyone you are wonderful people

Lol I have a "friend" at work who likes to say she lost her weight the "real way" and "on her own" and I just gently remind her that I'm in the gym 4x a week for 90 minutes and weigh and measure everything - trust me, I have a tool but I'm most definitely doing it on my own. I don't have anyone doing anything for me.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
