Please help- I have fallen off the wagon and need to get back on

Sharon, I feel your pain. I have been falling off some too. Found out that sugar does not make me dump. WHY did I ever even TRY it? Anyway, I accept resposibility for the falling off.Don't "beat" yourself up over this setback. I KNOW we can just climb back on that "wagon!" If we made it through that surgery, we can do ANYTHING! So don't give up, you're in my prayers!!!

I feel a falling sensation also, glad i read this post....it helped me realize I need to start behaving again, sugar doesn't make me dump but carbs do make me tired. I need to start exercising and eating better also...so lets get back on the wagon together....Thank you everybody, I am going to try to do the writing down thing. Also I was not aware of the appetite coming back at around 6 months...ahhhh that explains it all!! McKenzie Green Bay, WI Gotta shoot the urge!!

Ha! I love this board...I guess a lot of us are feeling the same. Not that it makes it easier but it does make me feel less like a fish out of the water. Last week I had a couple of bad days too...and I posted...and now I'm back to what I'm supposed to be doing. The great thing is that now even when things are not perfect I no longer have to give up and waste all the work I did so far. I know I won't gain all my weight back because now I can stop, regroup, pick up and keep going. Today someone asked me what it's like after surgery...and I told them I now feel like a "normal" person on a food plan. And it works. Whereas before not only it didn't work but I felt like eating the furniture and whatever else was in front of me. That anxiety is gone...and I feel free! I DO NOT want the pounds back...and I'll do everything in my power to keep them away forever. I hope and pray everyone here can do the same. Blessings, Paola
