I have been gone for a while, but I'm back for now. I have been having a really hard time. I had RNY 12/21/09 and have not met my goal. I had gotten about 50 lbs from my goal and then I got pregnant and now I'm 40 lbs more than I was at my lowest before I got pregnant. I've been slowly gaining weight back. When I do all liquids I lose the weight but when I start back on solids I start to gain it back again. I did the 5 day 2 weeks ago and lost 13 lbs but then I gained 8 of it back. So I'm gonna do the 5 day again starting tomorrow morning. I do pretty good at it when I really stick to it and I don't have anything going on this week so I'm gonna stay home for the first few days to make sure I'm not tempted and I can get my exercise in. I'll keep you all posted on how I do on it. If you're my friend you'll be able to see it daily in my journals. Anyone that wants to do this with me is welcome. Any encouragement is welcome. Thanks all.

Congrats on your baby.

Remember that WHAT you eat is almost as important as HOW MUCH you eat. Protein first. Are you getting a generous serving of protein at each meal?

Carbs--avoid the simple kind such as white rice, white bread, white pasta, etc. and replace them with complex carbs--whole grains, legumes, etc.

Watch your sweets. Avoid sugar.

Fluids--get in at least 64 ounces of calorie-free beverages every day. No sodas.

Keep a food diary (I use loseit.com's smartphone app). It keeps me honest and give me an objective record so that I can figure out what is working and what isn't.

Give all these things I try and see how it goes. I'm in your corner. I wish you all success (and congrats on the little one again).

We are here for you. I am here for you. We have the tools and the support.
