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.

Chap stick has always been at the top of most of the lists I've seen. Wear in loose clothes to wear home and bring a pillow from home to use as for belly support for the ride home. I drove 3 hours from home to have my surgery so having a pillow with me for the ride home was priceless.

Not trying to be mean just trying to give tough love. 10 weeks after surgery I blowed out the 1 of the 6 plate that held my leg together for the last 6 years and had to have emergency surgery. I was told by doctors that it would be 6-8 weeks befor I could go back to the gym ans work out. 3 weeks later I'm back in the gym working out and losing weight.
Now I know you are not me and I understand your pain but you can't let this side line you from all the great weight loss you have had. Going back and do what made you lose the weight in the begining drink the Protein Drinks go back to 2-3 oz of food at a time 5-6 times a day. There is upper body exercise that you can do to help and even with a hip replacement or repair the doctors must want you to walk. Start out slow and build from there.
And keep us posted we are here for you sorry if this sounds mean its not ment that way.
For 6 years I have lived with pain in my right leg from a drunk that crushed it when he ran me over having WLS has made the world of difference the weight is off my leg and it feels 200% better and getting better every day

You have to be proud of with your amazing weight loss. You can get back to your goal! Stay the course. Life is always going to hora you curve balls... And when it does figure out how to knock it out of the park. It seems like you have had a stretch the downside, but focus on all the good you have... Including the 210 pounds you have lost!!

Congratulations!!! That is an amazing milestone to reach. I'm happy for you. I found going from 300 to 299 and from 200-199 to be a time of i know at least 2-3 week stalls. I finally didn't weigh for a week and boom I was there. An amazing accomplishment,

I think a lot of us can relate to your feelings and habits. I appreciate you for making this post. I battle with depression but I have come a long way on my journey. I am finding my self reaching for the wrong foods and then fussing at myself for eating them. SOmetimes I even fuss at myself while im eating them. I can trully relate to your frustration. If you need a buddy I would be more than happy to join you and conquer this weightloss battle together. I live in SC (In the middle of Greenwood and Laurens). I can't tell you how bad I want to connect with someone to work with me to get back on track.

Hi, I had my RNY 3 years ago this past September 9th. I done a great job and lost 210 pounds in 2 years. I was dedicated to exercise and eating right. November 2011, I got hurt at work and was unable to do my 2-3 mile walks or aerobics of any kind. I had to be out of work so they fired me. We had to move in with my in-laws because of the decrease in income. This has been very hard. My routine has been crushed. What has brought me here is that I need some support to help me before I regain all the weight I lost. Before my injury I weighed 148, I was content with that weight. This morning I weighed 164. It doesn't seem like a lot if weight but I can really tell the difference. Please, Anton that wishes to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm new here so I do need a little time to figure out how this forum works. Thanks again lisa
