Hello, I am NEWBIE:

My name is Carla and I had the Roux en Y GBS May 2007. I started at 300 lbs and went down to 212 lbs in approximately 6 months.
I had to struggle, as my center rightfully FIRED my GB surgeon. Nevertheless, I have gained 32 lbs (at 246) and it is really difficult getting back on track. My GB center has a new Doc and NP...they are both great! The entire team is amazing. They are trying really hard to get me back on track. I need much GBS support and to be accountable!!! (UUGGHH-do not know how to do this) I am trying so hard and it seems as though, I am just plain STUCK.
As I continue with my daily routines, I find myself grazing a lot or just not eating much wholesome nutrition. it is my desire to get back on track and lose 86-106 lbs. Please HELP me if anyone can... looking forward to reaching my goal(s) and to enjoying the life that God continues to bless me in living. Nice to meet you all

sorry, welcome to the group, we are here for you, just sometimes get a little busy, i have heard others go through this and they need to reset their stomachs, so they have gone back to 3 shakes a day for a week or more, and only eat liquids, and then the cravings will subside, i know you know that you should be drinking at least 64 ounces of water, that will definitely help, and then when you go back to regular food, start with just protein like meat make sure to get 60-80 grams of protein in each day, i use an app on my phone to keep track of everything i eat, it is called Lose it, it really helps to keep track of everything you eat, best of luck in this journey

Thank you so much for reaching out. I actually navigated through the AB site and came upon resources link...all in which I clicked on resetting pouch. I am going to try this 5 day journey, as it is very much akin to yours. Wish me the best of luck--pray 4 me. I also ordered items not available in local markets. Once again, thanks so much and have a gr8 day...you are amazing. Blessings~

You will be fine, the fact that you are reaching out to strangers shows me that you are much stronger than you think, it is time to get back on track, no more grazing aloud, don't make me find you and kick your butt, lol, you went through to much to get to this point in your life and I bet there are people waiting for you to fail, I have people like that in my life and we have got to prove them wrong.

Hi Carla. I see you've met Tracy. She is an awesome person and great cheerleader. I'm sorry I didn't respond to you right away. Unfortunately I've been dealing with my own demons and didn't feel I would be a good support to others, so I've avoided our group. Big mistake. As you are finding, we have wonderful people here who will help you through your bad days. Like you, I plan on doing the pouch reset diet. Im going to be in Hawaii for a week, so I'm waiting until I get back to start it. Where did you get your air fryer? It sounds interesting. Im glad you found a shake that you like. I've only been able to find one I can tolerate. Well, I will quit rambling. Welcome to our family.

Hi Christine.
TY for welcoming me into the family. Hawaii... Hmmmm...sounds great. Purchased air fryer through Fingerhut (the power air fryer). It's great. Rocking refuel vanilla tastes like a milkshake. You will enjoy. No worries -all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God-in other words-we are all human. Be encouraged and remember that I am just a thread away. #WEAREFAMILY :D

I got my air fryer at bed bath and beyond, if you sign up for emails they will send you 20% off coupons for online, I used that on the new wave brio air fryer when it was on sale, it was a great deal

Tracy, what size is your AF? I have the 5.3 Power air fryer and I wish that I could have both:oops: [like diversity--LOL]. I cooked 2 chicken wings in my AF tonight...had riced caulie/spinach again--and yes, it was delicious:p. Sadly, I have been running most of the day doc appts/I did not get my H2O in:(:mad:o_O. Oh well, tomorrow, God bless me with another day, is once again new beginnings:D.
I will be so glad when my American Bariatric food arrives:p:D:)...does anyone have any idea how long the actual delivery takes:rolleyes:? I received my vitamins in like almost a week --well, at least it seemed that way:confused: GN and God bless everyone.

The size of my air fryer is 3 qt, it is only me and my hubby, so it is the perfect size, especially since I only eat a small amount
