2 1/2 years out....
Hi All -
My name is Ellie - I am 2 1/2 years out from my RNY and have had some regain - super frustrated with myself - 18 pounds......disappointed in myself but I am getting back on track slowly but surely! I was MUCH more disciplined in the beginning and am really really taking the steps to be more like that once again. I originally lost 117 pounds and now I am at 99 pounds - still good and much healthier but I can be better :-) Just looking for some support....anyone elso struggled with regain??
I am two years out and gained 30 pounds during my pregnancy. My son is three months old now and I am working hard to get back to pre-pregnancy weight (22 lbs till go). We can be as disciplined as we choose to be. I accept my destiny is in my hands and if I follow the instructions my tool came with - high protein , low carb , calorie counting, and exercise - With time I will reach my goals.
Good luck!!
At one of my recent follow-up appointments, the nurse reminded me I was warned there would be some rebound in weight. She said, "don't panic." I said, "oh, I'm panicking." What choice do we have but to line up like soldiers and battle with all the determination we can muster. Daily protein journaling, increase water, and MOVE. Here we go.
