I lost my way.........
Hi,
Wow, I am here on the losers bench. I am drinking a protein shake and day one is half over. It is definitely not easy. I remember being a newbie and not understanding how someone could possibly gain weight back, and feeling smug that it could never happen to me. Boy am I eating crow now. But I am here, and I am ready to take a stand.

Hi Deanna,
I agree with everyone else, dont be so hard on yourself. You have made the decision to re-gain your focus and that is the biggest step that you will have to do. I for one am just 7 1/2 months out and have done pretty good. But, I am having the issue of staying focussed myself. I have to jump back on the band wagon and re-dedicate myself to what I want to do and how I am going to do it.
Just stay here, we are all here to support each other and we will not let you fall
Have a great day...........Rick

Deanna,
Welcome back. Your message really resonates with me. I had the surgery less than 4 months ago and I still feel I struggle with the food demons. My inner muncher wants to convince me eating all day is going to make me calm and happy. It's so frustrating.
I agree with the other folks on this board. Don't beat yourself up. Do this because you are worth it and life is worth it. You're a human being and perfection has never been something we humans do well.
I am looking forward to hearing from you about your re-dedication.

I used to try to expain to my Mom that I still have the same urges and desires to eat so much and I struggle every day to eat healthy. She could not understand. I told her that I had surgery on my stomach, not on my brain.
Life is a journey and I have detoured too long, and am hopefuly back on the right path.
Thank you for your support, it means so much to feel like I am not alone anymore.

You and I had our surgeries one day apart, so I feel like we've been through this battle together. Please email me anytime.... but I just know you'll get back on the wagon and nip this!
Hang in there and love ya!

Hello,
YOU CAN DO IT!!! IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO GET THE WEIGHT OFF! About 4 years ago I got in a car accident and put on 30 lbs. I went back to 3 meals a day and exercising every day to get if off and have kept it off ever since then.
Some people think it is magic....we have the surgery and lose the weight and never worry about it again.....It is a daily journey.......that I we will be on the rest of our lives.
Take care,
Ginger

Hey there sweet Candi!
How are you doing? I have watched your Facebook posts and it seems like you are doing good. I do not post anything on Facebook about my WLS because most of those people don't know me as the "fat" me. Well, they are getting to see the fat me now, the more I gain, but you know what I mean.
How has your journey been going? I hope you have continued to do well. I do miss hearing from you.
I will keep on this journey and I know I'll make it if I keep tuned in here, and keep honest and don't try to hide anymore.

Hi Deanna, I don't believe I know you; however, I know what you are going through relative to feeling normal and suffering the consequences. I, too, believed I was normal and then the scale said, "do you want to continue on the path you are on or do something about it"? And I am doing something about it because I got myself where I am today so I just have to slap some of those pounds off me. I choose, like you, to take the blame and I agree that it feels somewhat better when we publicly state what is really happening. I started drinking protein drinks yesterday in hopes of getting back on track. My hubby is also doing liquid for one week just to make it easier for me. I am sending you strength on your continued wls journey.

That is good that you have the support of your hubby. I am drinking a protein shake right now, and struggling with wanting a sandwich or something more, but I did this before and I can do it again. Once a few days go by, I know it gets easier.
Keep me posted on how you are doing, and we can help each other through this.
