Annual Bariatric Visit

Jun 05, 2013

Just had my 3 year anniversary visit with the surgeon. Per his records, I have gained 7 pounds in 3 years. While that may not seem like a lot, at lower weights, even 5 pounds can make your clothes feel tight. (actually, I am up probably 10-12 pounds from my lowest weight.)

I am struggling each day to avoid grazing. I live in constant dread of gaining all my weight back. I could so easily go overboard. I have another 30 or so years to live........at the rate I am going, I could gain 100 pounds back before I die. The thought really strike FEAR in my heart.

How can I get back in the  groove? I am not sure. I drink protein drinks for breakfast, lunch and snacks some days, since I don't trust myself to eat. Eating just opens up the door to wrong choices----the wrong foods and portions that are too big!

Last night for dinner, I ate two (yes, 2) chili dogs with onions and cheese. I felt totally sick afterward, but in 2 hours I was looking for something to eat again.

Are the rest of you "old-timers" still struggling like this? What can I do? HELP ME!!!
