Help

Three years post op and I not only fell off the wagon, I was also run over by it. Help!

I am a new post op so won’t probably be much help, but I’m sorry about your re-gain. I’m sure one of our post ops who is farther along can help you.

Thank you so very much Mandy2910. I did not really know where to begin. You were very sweet to get back to me. Have a great day and I hope your journey is a great one.

Can you get in touch with your bariatric team? Maybe getting an appointment with a nutritionist would be helpful to get you back on track.

It gets harder the further out you get. I'm 2 1/2 years out. Maintaining about 5-10lbs higher than my lowest weight but still under my goal. Its work. And apparently its never going to end lol I track and measure out my food at least several days a month. Otherwise the pounds start to creep up. Turns out, I very quickly forget what a serving size looks like. I also have to focus on eating or I end up mindlessly eating entirely too much.

It was work to lose the weight, even if it didn't seem as difficult in the beginning.Its going to be work to keep it off. Apparently the majority of thin/fit people actually WORK at it. So, now we do too.

I could...... but...... every time I go in for a appointment, they will charge $150 which I just cannot afford.

That’s rough. Definitely take advice from Diane and Missy, they have dealt with this long term and are great resources!
