Fell off the wagon - hard!

[retzlpa 98]

Well, pain got the best of my head and I fell back to old habits! I have been making very poor choices on eating and haven't been able to exercise much. So, I come here to write this knowing it will be here for all to see and comment on. This way I know I will do something about it. Fortunately I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either. So, today I will take time to write up a plan and start all over again Monday morning.

Well, it happens! I am right there with you. Last week I did not make the best choices 3 days in a row. Unfortunately I gained 2 lbs!

Now, I certainly didn't go completely nuts but I ate a lot of salty chips and crackers so I am guessing I gained Water weight.

the important thing is that we recognize it and get back on track.

Give yourself a break, we are human......

You're human and you know where you got off track. Get back on course like you did before and resume the success.

Yeah, I feel ya. I wrote a paragraph about how crappy I'm doing right now with eating, and then I didn't post it because I wasn't brave enough.

This guilt has to be the worst.

*hugs* Do what you need to do to get back on track.

I've gotten back on track of sorts. I was switched from oxycodone to morphine for pain relief. The problem is that I think it also numbs the full feeling while I am eating, so i really have to watch portions. I haven't been exercising much the last 4 weeks because of knee and back pain, but now that our snow is gone I can start walking again.

I understand. I've been eating whatever goes down and is tolerated, even if it's not the best choice health wise. I'm going to try and do better this week. I don't want to fall back into old habits either.

Im almost 1 yr post op and lost 137 pounds but gained 15 back....I can take in more food which is scary and I need to get in control of myself and food intake!! Started exercising just make better choices.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm almost six years post-op and have done great until the last year and a half. After surgery I lost a total of 85 lbs; I've gained 30 of it back. I also notice that I've fallen back into some of my old habits; I don't get the 'full' sensation that I did originally and, unfortunately, I can eat as much as I used to. I'm so frustrated with myself! And disappointed. I've contemplated having a revision (Banding or sleeve or even redoing the pouch) but my surgeon won't do that. I try to take it one day at s time but find my thoughts are more and more on food. . Advice, thoughts, suggestions are welcome...

Try going back to basics. Do the 5 day pouch test. You may also want to find a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders to help you deal with emotional eating.

One day at a time!!! We have all at one point made bad choices, old habits die hard. 2yrs post-op; down 110lbs and still haven't reached my goal weight. Not giving up though, came too far!!!! Trying to eat better mostly but with a full time night time job and being a single parent of 2boys, its hard????????

Keeping it positive
