I will most definitely let you know how things are going with the weight loss. Snacking and drinking are my 2 biggest challenges as well, but I keep reminding myself of everything I sacrificed to lose the weight and I just can't let it fall by the wayside.

You're so right!!!! We know exactly what it takes. It's just a matter of doing it. I will say that it is not easy though. I reciognize that I have definitely started some really bad habits and have triggered some of my food addictions. Last night I found it so hard for me to resist grabbing fast food on the way home. Smh... I won that battle thought. Yay!!!

Wow, I knew that I wasn't the only one struggling with regain, but it sure feels good to actually see and hear from others in the same situation. I am even more excited to lose the weight back off now that we can all do it together! :-)

Hey ya'll, So I was terrified to get on the scale because I was afraid that I would no longer be in Onderland, but I am happy to say that I caught it just in the nick of time. I weight in yesterday at 199.7!!!! Talk about mixed emotions! I was so happy that I was not over 200lbs, but also disappointed about the 35.7 lbs weight gain. It's just what I needed though to lite a fire under my butt to lose the weight back off. I refuse to get ay bigger. Anywhoo, just thought I would share. :-)

OMG, I cannot tolerate Fraps. I tried, but no bueno. It triggers dumping for me. Chicken definitely fills me up as well. I just had a very small salad with chicken and it's been taking quite some time for me to get through it.

Hey Dimples58, Soooooooo.....drinking after wls is truly different for every person. I was also advised by my medical crew that I would not be able to tolerate much alcohol, BUT this was not true for me. I can drink a sailor under the table. Lol! This is not good though because it's a lot of calories and causes weight gain. My first attempt was a shot of whiskey about 6 months post op and I felt nothing. The only time I feel it quickly is if I don't eat first.

We're two peas in a pod. Starting fresh today. Yesterday was a transition day. Healthy meals, but wine and dessert. Today, I am tracking my food and water via MyFitnessPal (DLovelyL) and will also be rejoining my gym.

So true!!!

Wow, 4 years out and still cannot tolerate bread? That's rough.

You're so welcome!!!! It kind of sucks in the beginning, but trust me, it gets better.
