Google the 5 day pouch test. It helps to get you back on track. One oft girlfriends had bypass 10 years ago and gained 20+ I told her about this and it has helped her. Good luck you can get back on track.

Also a great tool that is helpful is an ebook I recently read. It's a great before/after read for anyone going through WLS.

It's called : 'Pratical Advice for Lifetime Maintenance After Baritric Surgery' by Pamela Harrelson. Her journey on how she gained it all back, lost again, etc and how to acheive a balance is amazing! It's a quick read and so easy to follow!

Good Luck

It might be time to start thinking about seeking professional help from someone who specializes in addiction and/or eating disorders to help with the underlying issues that may be part of the problem. *HUGS*

(I'm like a broken record)

Folly - You Rock!

I have gained 30 lbs back from the 70 I lost and am seeking counseling. Sure hope it helps. It is my last resort.

It may take some time to unravel what's going on. Please don't get trapped into "all or nothing" thinking. As long as you're breathing there's hope darling.

If I can offer you any support please reach out to me :-)

I really like looking at before pictures that people post... is it just me or aren't most of the people on this site beautiful BEFORE and after surgery/weight loss?

They sure look happier after .... And sometimes younger⭐️

Folly I agree with you. I think it's a slippery slope to give so much praise to people's after pictures. Of course they have worked so hard and we want to applaud them!! But it seems like it has this underlying message that before you didn't you look great. And when someone does gain some or all the weight back- then what? Is the message they do not look great?

We are all beautiful in every shape and size. It's how we feel inside that really matters. But I know - that is easier said than done.

Lost 117 lbs. after my surgery in 2013. Have maintained loss until just recently. Have now gained back 10 lbs. and I need to nip this in the bud. Seems as though I am always hungry (or maybe bored) lately and I can't seem to get a handle on my cravings. I do drink grapefruit juice, watch my sugar intake, take my multis, Probiotics, fish oil, etc. daily, but still graze constantly during the day. I am 74 and not terribly active but I do try to move around frequently however have a bit of a problem with being somewhat unsteady on my feet. At this rate I'll never reach my goal weight of 170-175 lbs. Can anyone give me some advice before I go back to where I started. My email address is sbowen3195@aol.com and I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. Had a problem registering on this site so an email contact would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
