I'm almost 12 years out from my Rny surgery and have gain almost 60 lbs. in 2 years . I'm struggling with obsessive compulsive eating. It started 2 years ago when my sister died of her MS. I didn't know how to grieve so I started eating to dull the pain. Kept the eating somewhat under control , but then a year later my mom died and it was off the the races with eating. I am having trouble controlling the compulsive eating and I've packed on 60 lbs. since my last weight in. Carbs and cheese are my biggest fails. Any advice would be really welcomed. I've come to far from being almost 600 lbs. and I really don't want to go back or die from unhealthy choices.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just hang in there and keep doing what the surgeon has told you to do.

I usually stall when I blaze my little happy trail.

4 years out now, down almost 300 from my worst and 160 down from my RYN.

 I have been rockin steady at 265Lbs. Which is a long cry from my 569Lbs in 09.
In the last month or so I have put on 14 Lbs. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong ,but I have been hitting the gym 4 times a week 2 hrs each time. I was thinking muscle mass ,but 14 lbs seems a little much. Any ideas?

 Try adding a protein bullet to your drink that you sip on all day. Some have 52oz of protein. They come in little test tubes and are in various flavors.

 Get on track with your protein and water intake ASAP.

 As far as feeling full, I didn't for a long time and now its only when I overeat do I feel it. My body gave me a few new tells for when im full. I sneeze, yawn and my nose runs,not all at the same time. Its mostly I just sneeze when I'm full.

Hope it all works out for you. Just remember " We may stumble and fall, but thats ok as long as we pick ourselves back up and continue on"

 Hi,Im Andy

Im taking  a Multi vit(rite aid central vite) ,Calcium(500mg), D3(1000 iu),B12 (500mg),Ginko Biloba(3.6mg),Niacin(400mg),Beta Carotene(25,00iu).
I'm 23 months out of Rny and have lost almost 300 LBS (yeah I gotta brag :P)
My dilemma is how many times should I take these a day and how should I stagger the dosage?

If anyone can give me some help id really appreciate it.

 They really didnt put me on a diet I was 440 LBS the day of surgery. But I did go from 569 to 440 in 6 months on a diet I made myself. I made a 16oz. shake for breakfast and lunch. The shake consisted of a cup of fat free milk,a cup of frozen unsweetened fruit(your choice) 2-3 scoops of unflavored soy (90% isolate) protien and a pack of splenda. Then had a sensible dinner,cutting out things like Mayo,bread,cheese,fried foods. for desert id have a cup of frozen fruit with yogurt.

Hope that helped.

 Looking good ,
Keep listening to what your surgeon tells you.
Dont become a horror story they use on other RYN patients when they go in for their 1 month follow-up.

 welcome

 I dont really feel hunger or full. I know when to eat and when to stop,Plus as an added bonus I sneeze when im full. Kinda weird but my surgeon said your body develops ways to let you know.
Ive never dumped as far as I know . The first 6 months or so was trial and error so I vomited alot.
If you asked me if id do it all over again, you bet your life i would.I like being accepted in public and not beinf stared at like i was some side show freak.Not to mention I like buying clothes off the rack and many other benifits that make pizza or any other comfort food not important anymore.

 I understand what you are talking about. I am going through the same thing. Ive lost almost 300 lbs and still feel Fat. Im waiting for my brain to catch up . I know it will eventually.
