Hi everyone. I'm new to this online support group. I just wanted to get some help. I'm 3 years out of surgery. I had the VSG and have been extremely happy with it. I met a wonderful man and got married… life was going perfect. I started picking up old habits and eating/drinking things I knew better than to eat/drink. I had a wellness screening today and have gained 40 pounds in a single year! HELP… I can't go back to the old me. I was only about 20 pounds from goal weight.
Need encouragement/support due to weight gain...

Hello, I will be 5 yrs out Dec 1 and have gained 18 pounds. I am struggling and looking help as well! I have picked up old habits too and just can't seem to get a hold of myself. I want to go back to a week long liquid diet thinking that may put me back on track but can't seem to find it in me! Have you tried anything?
I'm eight years post roux n y. Gained 20 lbs back & can't seem to lose it. I decided to restart my weight loss effort by buying more protein shakes & bars & keeping
myself filled with chopped salads & grilled chicken strips. I pray I can keep to this. Water & lots of of it really helps too.

I'm new to this all but I know you guys got it in you to get back on the horse, you didn't go through all this to go back to your old self, think about how good you felt when you lost the weight and feed off of that, maybe set up appointments with nutritionist, I'm still waiting for the new me to pop out but you all have seen the new you, get a pic out of the old you and the new you put it out so you can see it, especially where you snack to remind your self

That's a great idea. I think I'm going to take some pictures so I will have a before picture. I haven't taken pictures in years except when I renew my drivers license.
