So I'm going on eight years since my rny lost 164lbs but now I've gained 30lbs trying to go baby steps again to loose the pounds back don't want to go back. Have been keeping track of what I've been doing wrong it's not hunger but just I see munching and I join in. The good thing is that when I do eat solids I get full fast and sneeze from being full and u stop eating sadly it doesn't happen with liquids

WOW 8 Years Post RNY! Good for you!! I am coming up on just two years in June. Maintenance is very hard - at least I am finding it hard. There are so many temptations and so many ways to fall back into bad habits. I have lost 210 pounds and am terrified about regaining. I am using MyFitnessPal.com to track what I eat and I find that tool to be invaluable. I still stick with my all beverages MUST be under 10 calories rule. This has done me well and still allows me to put a creamer in a cup of tea if I choose to. I also belong to the YMCA and am very active in classes like BodyPump and Zumba. Focusing on getting 10,000 steps EVERY day helps as well and I use a Fit Bit to make sure that I do.

You have discovered the gain, you know where your problems are. Now you just need to put a plan in place to make the changes that will help you to get where you want to be. This you can do! You successfully lost 164 pounds - you CAN get rid of the 30! Find your focus and go for it! YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Wow congrats

I know I must focus I'm a vendor during the day and am in my car most of the time I take my lunch knowing I can't eat all and save for later that's were the problem is as I sneeze when full I've been waiting for later which is a no no I'll give myself pow pow. Anyway don't want to go back as we know people in general have a mean spirit towards those who have excessive weight thanks
