Stop the gain!

[fallonl 0]

Hello everyone!

I am almost five years past my gastric bypass surgery, but at this point, I have gained back almost half my weight (30 pounds). I'm feeling frustrated, as it seems like all of the problems that I had before surgery are all returning, most specifically, the inability to lose weight due to PCOS. I am getting ready to restart, as much of the weight gain is my own fault. What I'm wondering though is what have you guys done that has worked? Only interested in those who are as far out from the surgery as I am. Ultimate goal is to be able to trigger weight loss again. Not looking to lose 30 pounds, but would love to drop 10.

Thank you all in advance!

I've gained 23 lbs of an over 200 lb loss. Would like to lose 10 lbs as I felt best at that weight. I'm just going back to basics - not all the way back to liquids and purees, but the "protein first - then veggies - then if there's room, a small serving of fruit or healthy carbs (e.g., whole grain thing))". I've also stepped up my exercise - 4-5 days a week. I've always logged my food, so I'll continue to do that. The issue is I've let too many calories and not-the-greatest-food-choices back into my life, and I'd slacked off on exercise the last few months. I don't know how successful I'll be with this, but this is how a lot of other vets have tackled it.

other methods I've heard that vets have had success with are Weight Watchers, Intermittent Fasting, and Keto - so any of those could be worth a try, too.

New year and new ten pound goal.

Glad you came here for support. The work never ends, right? I'm five years and worked down a gain in my third year.

Some threads on this site that may help you get back on track.

We have a monthly group weight loss challenge. December is below. They will post the January challenge soon

Doing the head work. May help get your mind back in the game.

I’m a vet, since 2016 and I started out at 266. My question is, is anyone that’s a diabetic that have had the surgery met goal. I can’t seem to get below 200

I would say everything I'm thinking of but if I were Dr.Now he would tell you to stop making excuses.

I have PCOS since adolescence and I been steadily losing weight since I had surgery and I been following the proper diet
