I'm back - been slipping -

Hi there , 

well wow it has been so long I use to come here everyday it was really my support group - which is why I have returned need this support group. 

It has been 6 years since my surgery - my lowest weight was 134 - I seemed to balance out at 137-139 my body likes it there - stayed there for 5 years you really can eat more as time goes on so be careful in this past year I have gained and now go between 144-146 I'm not happy here in the 140's and want to get back down so I've decided to come back . Reading all the posts reminds me of what to do and not to do giving advice to others newbies etc is really helpful to me just keeps me in check. I know what I need to do and I'll do it just wanted to say thanks in advance and I'm back if anyone wants any insight on what to expect along the way or I should say what I have experienced as everyone is different . 

Cheers

Gosh I don't know how many oz but I can eat for example - depends on the food carbs go real easy and can eat way more of them 

entire bagel with cream cheese

1/4-1/2 of a cheese burger or other sandwich and 5 or 6 fries 

dinner size salad 

about 2 - 4 oz of chicken or fish I don't eat steak

Oh that's not bad at all. I was worried that far out you can eat alot

coffee cream and sugar

Thanks !! It's the best thing I ever did you are younger than me I am 53 so your skin will probably do better 😄 I wish I had done it sooner 

Great to see you!  I have been off of OH for the most part as well.  I do show up, whenever I've been slipping and need to get back to it.  I LOVE seeing the mirror of my life in yours!  I too, gained about 8 lbs this year 6.  It took some effort for several months to stay on track, but I finally did it and I"m back under in the teens, where I like to be.  Good luck, and you too can do it!

Thanks so much good to hear, you are an inspiration I'm going to do this so funny how hard it is to lose 10 and was easy to lose 100 lol best to you
