Hi,

I have never done a support group before so this is kinda scary to me. I had my bypass over 12 years ago. For the most part I have done well. My lowest weight was 140. Since then I have had 3 pregnancy's one which included a set of twins. I never gained much weight 15 lbs max for single preg and I only gained 30 with twins. I am older now 43 and have gained some weight back. 35 lbs if we are being honest. I have drank pop and have eaten things I probably shouldnt of. Is there a way after all this time to jump start my weight loss again? I have been trying to eat healthy and working out 3-5 x weekly at the gym. Just started keeping food diary again. I feel like I do when I was at my highest weight 274. Depression is setting in again and I don't know what else to do. Where I had my surgery never gave me good follow up. I always felt like I was in a factory that just pumped out the bypass but did nothing else. I am not one to usually share much of anyting with anyone. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Google pouch reset diet. It is basically starting at the liquid phase and progressing. I can't remember where I saw it but it was on a bariatric surgery page.

You just have to dive in and do it.

Remember why you had the surgery. I'm just 3 1/2 months out but my daughter keeps me on track. I'm 41 with a 4 year old. She needs a mother that can actively participate in her life. That alone keeps me on track. Just think of your children.

Go on Obesity Coverage and search the sight for the reset diet. I also just googled pouch reset diet and it was the first thing that came up. Good luck!!

Keep in contact with this support group, it can help you refocus.

go back to the basics and don't get down on yourself if you slip.

keep going.

Hi, so this is literally my first post in any type of support group. I had the roux-en-y in 2011 and am in the phase where I'm regaining weight and am now in like emergency panic mode. I just wanted to let you know that your post really made me feel not so alone. It's unfortunately nice to know that I'm not alone. I wish you the best of luck! Maybe we can be little support buddies lol

      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
