Oy. I am 6 years post op from my first surgery, and almost 2 years out post op from my band to bypass revision and I was successfully maintaining my weight for over a year and recently the scale has gone UP 10lbs!!!

My husband asked me if that was bad (uh hello!) I was maintaining at 147lbs and now the scale said 158lbs. It scares the life out of me seeing it go back up. I know what my issues are and I need to remind myself carbs are NOT my friend and I have to keep myself more active. I used to spend 4-5 days a week working on a farm I volunteer but I've had to scale back recently due to home issues. And sadly because I've been so stressed out I've been looking at eating as my coping skill again.

I know what I need to do to get back on track and I am damn determined to do it, I just need a little nudge and support from those who know where I am right now.

Thanks!!

I am 3 years post-op RNY surgery and this is the approach that I use in the Maintenance phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

Nothing succeeds like success - you've done it before, you can do it again!

You know what needs to be done! Stay strong!
