Just to say HI

Hi all.  I just joined the group.  I am two years post op (almost to the day).   I have noticed in the last few months that doing what I always did is not enough and I have gained 5 lbs that I can't drop since my lowest of 135.   I'm too close to surgery to just accept this and I want to get on it ASAP so that I don't continue to gain and have it get away from me.   I learned so much from the RNY board in the year plus after my surgery.  So here I am planning to get "back on track" with you all.

I'll be honest, most days I follow my plan 99% to the T.  I still eat mostly protein and veggies, follow the rules, etc.  So I'm frustrated that weight is starting to come back on and very fearful for what the future holds.     I do tend to eat a bit more fat (salad dressings usually) than I should at times and I realize that could be a huge downfall....so I am committing to working on that and increasing my exercise.

Thanks for reading!!!

Welcome.   I know how frustrating it can be... I am on my last 5 lbs regain I want to lose and it seamsd like an uphill battle.  I lose 2 gain 3,  lose that one, gain 2.. But I know if I really follow what works for me - I can lose it.

I also had RNY and over the years I realized that fat is not my problem. But carbs are.  Even the so called good carbs - they are the issue for me.   If I eat them - I want more and more... 

If I don't - I am much better. 

Good luck.  Follow plan that you know works for you. 

Welcome and keep posting!

You post what I need to remember, especially about the carbs!!
