Out of Control and needing Help
Hi
I come to this website very humbly....I have gained so much weight that and have become so depressed and unhappy, as I am sure most of you would be able to relate to if it happened to you.
I have also resorted to buying SENSA which has only made me want to eat more. I don't know what is wrong with me, but summer is here and AGAIN I have no clothes in my closet that fit.
Anyone care to help me out.
Thanks
(I have not updated my weight chart..can't bear it)
I made an appt with my surgeon to alk about options. He commended me for coming back in. He didn't scold me at all. He said being a couple of years out is when the ork becomes the hardest. I had reverted back to adding processed food and sweets into my diet.
His suggestions?? Yep, back to basics. High protein, exercise, water, vitamins. Also, they are running extensive labs on me to be sure my levels are ok. He also wants me to see a therapist to determine why I eat things I shouldn't and self sabotage. I need to document my food journal ( write it, not my fitness pal) and see the nut again. About 6 weeks from now, I see the surgeon again and start group therapy that my surgeon runs. It's not a support group. It's a group of people dealing with my exact problems.
Don't give up!!!
I don't have any great words of wisdom. I am in the presurgery phase of this process. What I do know is that this is a journey. If I had five cents for every pounds I have lost, gained, lost, and gained again I would be a rich woman. Please come back often and join in the discussion. I applaud your courage in continuing the fight. All is not lost. You have the tools, have done it before, and can get back in the saddle again. Good luck on your journey.

I agree Go back to the basics. Measure your food. Eat protein and no white carbs or sugar!!! Drink your water. No snacking and don't bring foods home that you can not control yourself with.
You can do this!!!
Yes to all of this!!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
This is so simple (note, not easy, but simple) that you'd think I'd get it through my thick skull.
