POUCH RESET, GYM SUPPORT

I use to frequent the site for a lot of support pre-op and shortly for post op. This is a place where I felt VERY comfortable talking, asking questions and to seek advice.

2 years post op I have slow started the road back to my old self. I find myself taking a couple extra cookies when I bake for my kids, having an extra ... QUITE a few extra bites of dinner regardless of how full I am. Regretting it as I do it, but it tastes so good.

I have not gained any of the weight back, except a couple pounds which is normal fluctuation of weight for me. Between 149 and 153, nothing big.

I know I need to get my **** back together because I will NOT go back to where I was and want to stay on the healthy habit path I have been on the past two years I am just slipping and its very hard for me.

I am looking for some positive advice on a healthy pouch reset for someone who goes to the gym.

I am looking for some positive encouragement because I know I cant be alone in this battle.

We all know how mind numbing being heavy was and how exhilarating it felt when we stood on the scale and not only could we see our feet but we could see the numbers getting smaller.

My partner I am with, I have been with since shortly after post op is completely unaware of my surgery, my past eating disorder or the mental chaos that goes on inside my head. I know I should talk to him about this, but I am really not ready to. Only a small handful of people know about my journey and an even smaller amount know the mental anguish I suffered to get me to surgery.

I have to be careful with a pouch reset diet as I am anemic, iron deficient and can no longer absorb vitamin B. My hair also started falling out again last year. I take alot of supplements which are helping.

Guidance, support, feedback I appreciate it all.
