I am so dissapointed with myself. It has been a rough year for me and I have returned to seek comfort food. As a result, I have gained 10lbs back.

It's not to late to get back on track!! You can do it. I am almost three years post op and I have times I might put back on 5 pounds. My strategy is just nip it in the bud early. What works for me is to do a liquid diet of protein shakes for a day or two and then almost zero carbs until my regain is gone. It Usually comes off pretty quickly. You can do it!!

Considering you lost 80 pounds before, you shouldn't have too much trouble dumping the 10 you gained. Just stick to it!

10 pounds might not seem like a lot to most people but my very good friend is your height so I know 10 pounds is a lot to someone your size.

I would suggest doing 4 ounces of dense protein, grilled chicken, steak, pork chops etc. Grilled, baked, 5 times a day, so you aren't hungry.

Get back on the wagon. Eat small meals of lean, dense protein, get your calories down around 1200 or so, and get your carbs below 20-25 grams. You'll get the weight back off.

I'm trying. I hadn't eaten carbs for two years and then started again (sliding food). It's amazing how much you can eat and still be hungry. Protein drinks taste nasty to me after two years of drinking these. I have found myself searching for actual meat in the fridge. A bit or two and it can be quite filling. Looking for what can motivate me.
