Starting Over after Pouch Reset

I am returning to OH after many years. My RNY was in 2010. I got down to 189 and then regained 36 pounds over the last eight years. I started having trouble handing more and more foods and having dumping syndrome. I am starting over and just completed a 10 day pouch reset plan and have a beginning loss of 8 lbs. I have not had any symptoms since beginning again. I really want to get to my goal even though I am much healthier now than I was before the RNY. My goal is 140. I have tried to restart many times and have given up after the first or second day. I am really pleased I have gone these 10 days. I am hoping that some of you who have regained the weight, or regained and lost it again will share and support with me your successes.

Thanks, Maureen

Good job with starting over. I always find day 3 to be the hardest, so making it to day 10 is an excellent start. When I had surgery, I thought it would be the end of dieting. Now I know that it is not. Regain happens.

I have regained and lost again several times. It is just a matter of watching what I eat and getting enough exercise. Take it one day at a time and keep up the good work.

Thanks for your prompt reply and encouragement. Maureen

Congratulations, the struggle is real! Be proud and keep going :)

I finally had to get just plain old ANGRY, at myself, and get REAL. I was never one of those people who blamed anyone/anything, besides MYSELF (no blaming spouse/medication/bad knees/the air), for what I was putting into my pie hole...including pie...

My best "advice" to you: Stay CONNECTED, with peeps, who "get you"...Right HERE, is an awesome start

I'd be more than happy to have you, as a friend, both here, and on Facebook- look me up! Gina Derr Robinson Morales

Just reading this inspired me! Thank you!
