My surgery (sleeve) was in September of 2011, by February of 2012 I had lost 60 pounds. I was elated and thrilled. I was offered a job transfer out of state.My husband was able to find full time employment and things were pretty good. But, Then my hubby's contract job ended and after a year he is still unemployed.My brother and Aunt passed away suddenly and my Mom began to have health issues. I found myself turning to food to deal with my anger, depression, sadness and guilt (over moving away). By September of 2012, my weight was back to 195, a 25 pound gain. I was so disappointed in myself and resolved to do better.Today, I find myself at 200 pounds, somewhere that I vowed back on 9/2011 that I would never see again. My Bariatric doctor is in my old state and I don't have a support system here. My husband is graduating from school in September and will hopefully gain employment by October. Things are starting to look up and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, now I find myself unsure of where to start on getting back on track. Has anyone been in this situation and if so, how did you get yourself out of the rut and get back to using your sleeve and getting the weight off?

I totally feel bad for anyone trying to do the 5 day pouch test. That involves going to strictly liquids which is not necessary.

If you cut out all white foods like rice bread noodles and eat dense Protein and the only carbs you're getting are from veggies, you will achieve the same results as the 5 day pouch test. Plus you won't be hungry.

In the search box at the left put in the Boot Camp Diet.
