SO...WHO WANTS TO DO THIS...
with me after the first of the year....i see some have already posted on them gaining weight again and want to get back on track with losing the extra weight....so what i was thinking is if we all got together on here and talked about how we plan on getting rid of this extra weight we have put on since WLS and helping each other being accountable and see if we can get this weight to come off....i know linda is posting everyday on what you are eating so if i am cutting in on her i am sorry for stepping on the toes and if you want to use her post everyday i will not be offended at all...just wanted some input on how we as a group can get this weight to come off again....
what do you think??
i was thinking i would do the 5 day pouch test get my pouch back in the groove of things and start over like we did AFTER WLS happened. i am sure it would jump start things very well for all of us. (well atleast me anyhow) so lets post what we think will work for us to get back on track for the new year. i will be back online tomorrow morning and see whats posted. right now i have to get ready for work and then tonight i will spend time with my sweetie rick and watch wrestling with him...so until tomorrow...think and post away....
hugs
i do not think you are stepping on linda's toes simply by trying to get us all working towards our goals-- you are not proposing a "what did you eat" thread necessarily!
i tried the 5 day pouch thingy last spring and it really did nothing for me- poo---i thought it would help....i need to do something- i didn't gain anything over these holidays but i am still not moving downwards ince my regain of 3 years ago--double poo
i do a lot of nibbling at work and that is bad-but i am working on that- gum chewing helps only so much!
kathy tries to get us motivated with he rmove to lose thread here as well as on teh main forum....
hoping someone offers suggestions--i am NOT interested in the mini challenges that lea does on the grads and main boards-she and her group get obnoxious.....imho
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

hi margo...thanks...sorry the 5 day pouch test didn't work for you but hope you will give it one more chance!! i was thinking of starting on monday because it seems logical i guess to start off the week on a monday...so if you are in cool...if not its ok...i understand...i just want to get a jump start on getting back to the after WLS program ya know...maybe get a few pounds off and feel better with the sugars and carbs out of me and back to what they should be since WLS.
i do alot of grazing and nibbling so i know what you mean...and i can't chew gum at work!! makes me angry on that but its the rule...sighs....
i haven't been on the grads board so not sure what happens there....and the main board...omg never going there they are so mean there!!!
hugs
Im in on the 5 daypouch thing! When do ya want to start it? I need to get my little tummy back to its sensitivity point like right after surgery. I still dump on sugar but mildly, makes me sleepy and headachy, for which I am very thankful. But I never did reach goal, and I so want to do that.
I gained about 10-12 pounds so it shouldnt be too hard to get off. Lets get together here and see what we can accmplish, and Ill keep posting on Lindas thread too.
Let us know your plan!
Blessings
