Hello my name is Katie I had the RNY 3 years ago February 21st starting weight was 277 I am now down to 196 still not where I want or need to be! I have lost all motivation I was last summer down to 186 but cause of my lack of following the rules my weight has started to creep back up! Someone please be my buddy and help motivate me. Also my husband and I have been trying for 1.5years to have baby #2 with no luck so I have been taking fertility drugs to help and believe that is why I may be also gaining my weight back! Someone please help me!

I am right there with you, nearly 2 years since my RNY, started 245 down to 170, now 188. I need motivation too. I'll buddy up with you!

I am in the same boat....only 3 years out. Lost 140 but have slowly put 20 on over the last18 months. I came here looking for help/support this far out. Maybe we should start our own support group!

Seven years out from surgery, lost 250lbs. I have gained 60lbs in the last two years. Primarily a because I stopped exercising and increased snacking. I don't eat a lot. Just the wrong things. I am not getting discouraged because I know what I need to do. Taking a deep breath and getting back on my program.

Let's be each others motivation.

I think we all get too complacent in our weightloss journey. The first year was easy, the second I was on atoll, the third I hadan njury but more importantly

Ok my fingers or key board are out of control! What I was trying to say was year one - easy; year two - on a roll; year three - injury and LAZY; year four - struggling to find my resolve again! I am not discouraged, I also know what to do. I am frustrated with myself for not doing it!

What are you all trying? I thought of picking one goal then sticking to just that Neil I have made it a habit again....ie walking daily or getting my Water in.

Thoughts?

How can we help each other?

Just started myfitnesspal to track food. I am one of the lucky or unlucky depending on your perspective that can eat ANYTHING. No problems with dumping.

I am a grazer. So keeping track of my food is important for me.

I am in the same boat. No dumping....ever. Never thoughts would wish I would dump, but I do! Only rarely is I eat too much sugar do I feel slightly sick. I have tried several online trackers. Really they all work....assuming you use them as intended. What I need is to get my head back in the game.

My surgery is on April 23 and I'm very nervous . What you should do is to start writing everything down that you eat start back exercising drinking water doing your protein keep a positive attitude and check with your bariatric nurse. Good luck guys and keep me in your prayers

I also use myfitnesspal. I love it! It is so easy to scan the food/drink I am having and have all the nutritional content.

What is a fitness pal?

It's an app I downloaded on my phone. Myfitnesspal. Great app to keep trackof intake.

I need a buddy too. I am only eight mints out and have only lost one pound in four weeks. I do cardio at least twice a week. But I do have trouble keeping to food rules. The carb monster has began creeping back in my life. I am only 45 lbs from goal and am struggling to stay strong.

Scanning this thread I am going to check the MyFitnessPal app.

I'll be your buddy for sure!
