I'm new on here and not really sure how this all works but I need help. I'm 2 years post op and I've slid back into old habits. At one point I was at 179 but started to gain weight and I'm almost back to 200. It scares me! I've been through too much to go back. Emotional eating and time have been my two biggest problems. I don't know where to start to get back on track. Someone please help!

You can do this!! I am almost 18 months out and started to eat candy around Easter. I have gone back to tracking my food, keeping track of my liquids, and Protein, etc. I had female surgery 3 weeks ago, so have can't do a lot of exercise. I have been tracking for several weeks, tracked the candy even, and now am back to a pound below my lowest weight. I started at 225.5, goal weight was hit in December, and am now at 121.8. I weigh every day and really clamp down on my habits when I get near 125.00. You might also talk to your nutritionist as it helped me with how to add some good carbs and not lose muscle mass. We are hear for you. There is a veteran's thread on this site that you might want to check out too. Carol

My suggestion..go to a psychologist that specializes in emotional eating. One that can help you with your relationship with food. I have been seeing one since October, 2013.
