Badly need to get back on track
RYN in January 2013. Gained 20 back and with that still have 40 to loose to reach my original goal weight. I never exercised because when I did my herniated discs caused so much pain I was bed ridden. I have lost motivation and will power. Especially, around my time of the month. Forget any will power then. I have no dumping or at least it's rare. I drink with meals and have never followed the program completely. Honestly, my whole life I've never followed anything completely with out bending the rules or making excuses for myself.
I deserve to feel good about myself. I self sabotage everything and then feel sorry for myself. I know my mistakes and need someone to hold me accountable. I don't even remember the rules. Someone please tell me how to start over, is it possible? I know I could of gained more weight than 20 so it could be worse but feel thin feels so much better than the food.< /p>

Hello everyone! I had RNY in 2006 and lost 100 lbs! I have gained like 25 lbs and need to get it off!

Hi I had my gastric bypass in August 2013 and have only lost 30kg I have been stuck for about 8 months and th e weight is not going infact I put on I just realised that yes I am falling back into my old habits and this just STOP I have yo get control of my life as I feel depressed all the time

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.

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.

Hi my name is Morgan. I had gastric bypass back in April 2013. My highest weight was 279 and at my lowest weight I was 159. I've gone through a really rough time past 6 months or so and I am up to 180. I want to get back down to my goal weight of 130. Does anyone have any tips? I'm so desperate for help of any kind or advice or someone to talk to about it. My email is mleec16@outlook.com. please email me if you have any advice or tips or just wanting to talk would bring my spirits up so much!

I know exactly how you feel...I am facing the same challenge. Had surgery 7/2012, did great...but, as of today have regained 20 pounds . I just joined this site to find the support and motivation. I am 62 yrs old. Sent from my SM-N910T3 using the BariatricPal App

Oh, Miriam! You're sliding down a very slippery slide.
Do you know what kinds of leading questions my shrink would ask you?
"How well do you think you're caring for yourself?"
"Where do you think that continuing your current regimen will lead you to in 3, 6, 12 months from now?"
"If you were caring well for yourself, what would that look like?"
"Which of those changes would be difficult?"
"Which of those changes would be easy?"
"HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?"
Sorry, I had to put that last one in there.

I've noticed the same… I am a wine drinker and have been drinking it occasionally since around the 5 month mark. At first, it barely affected me, but I was being super careful. After I relaxed enough to enjoy it, I noticed it would hit me fast (nothing I could not control), but the buzz would fade fast, too. So, like VSGAnn2014 said, I now know I need to be careful. One night, in a social setting, I drank too much wine, but just to keep my buzz (helped with the social situation)… I never got 'drunk'… not good for my liver, I know, so I am trying to be super careful now. This is just another one of those areas, post surgery, where I am learning anew… I don't plan to stop drinking wine occasionally, but my post surgery health comes first and I am trying to find the right balance… Just being honest

Search this site for alcohol. You'll find more opinions than you can possibly believe!

Hi all
It's been a while but I feel so guilty and horrible about not using my tool early on to its full potential. I lost my way sometime around the holidays (surgery July 2015) and now feel like I lost the opportunity to really lose the weight.
I've lost 50lbs since July and feel like it's not enough. My HW 291, SW 273, CW 224. I clearly have not made my goal and am having a hard time to refocus.
What has worked for you all?
Thanks for any support and encouraging words you can offer.

You really can continue to lose weight.
However, the important thing is that you recommit and take action NOW.
Since you've posted here, it seems like this is a turning point for you.
But nothing will change if YOU don't change your behaviors -- eating, drinking, moving, and other tools (you know what they are).
Recommit. Change. Win!

Don't beat yourself up! we all say that ! but its easier said than done when its you having the issue, trust me I'm the best cheerleader but when it comes to my plateau i am clueless!
i am constantly trying new things to get past this stall, but i have to def get out of my own mind.
Don;t give up and just keep trying new things. if you need someone to chat with please PM me, i don't know if i give good advice but I am a darn good listener
and who knows maybe we can get through our stalls together~

Where are all you baby boomers? I had surgery on 9/24...two weeks ago. Down 40 before surgery...20 after...60 total. I did lots of prep before surgery (exercise...lean green diet 3 months...immense amount of research) . So glad i did...sailed through surgery and in only 2 weeks feeling great! We baby boomers are tough. I still have 100 lbs to go but have a new lease on life...never too old to learn...look out to my grandkids...her comes a new granny...lucky if you can keep up with her!

I'm 3 1/2 years post op and I've gained 20 pounds in 1 1/2 years. I've been doing 16:8 and I haven't lost an ounce. I'm scared nothing is going to work! ID love some insight...

I am 2 years post op. I lost 85 lbs in the first 8 months and maintained that for another 3. Then I started to regain slowly at first and now I'm up 33 lbs. I am very disappointed in myself & feeling like a failure once again. I keep trying to start over each day, but haven't been successful obviously. I am so scared that I can't stop this regain. No only do I need to stop, now I need to lose the same weight yet again
I'm beyond frustrated & feel very alone.
