It is a daily struggle for me. I went way off plan for a while. I am happy that I didn't gain any weight but I have not lost any weight in over three months and I know it is because of the food choices I have been making. I fear that I have stretched out my pouch because I can eat a lot more than I should be able to. I never really experienced dumping so I can eat anything I want and now almost as much as I want,. I need to get back in control again!!

I need help! I created this group for support and then I never really used it. Well I am back and with a vengeance! I need anyone here that is willing to be my support group to check in with me daily and so that I keep each of you and my eating plan front and center!!

    This is a constant fear for me, too, Melissa. What I recommend it to get back to basics this week. Maybe go back to shakes for 2-3 days to give your tummy a rest and start to regain your focus. After that, make sure you're following the water/food rule of no liquids 30 minutes before and 30-60 minutes after a meal. Chew slowly, measure and track everything...just like at the beginning. What is your exercise routine like? Maybe you have an opportunity to pick it back up again, even a quick 30 minute walk every day this week, or maybe this is a chance to mix up your routine a bit if you've been in a slump. You can do this...no real damage has been done with any increase of weight, so brush yourself off and start fresh. You can do it and I'm excited for you!!!
