I have found that while my anatomy has been altered to take in
less, my metabolism is still up to its old tricks. The less I eat on a regular
basis, the less it takes to gain weight. I had put on about 20 lbs and have
finally taken off 10 of that. The only thing that REALLY works for me is
exercise. If I don’t exercise, I gain weight just looking at food.

I would keep with the counseling, join Weight Watchers for a
great food program, and really be willing to again try to find out why food is
your drug of choice. Truly, the weight problem/issue with food is in our
heads.
I also think that dr Phil's book is good.
I am 6 and a half yrs out and have pretty much gotten
my problem under control, but have never forgotten that it was a combination of
approaches -- not just the gastric bypass that allowed me to come to this point
of having a normal relationship with food which does not involve deprivation of
any kind.
Good Luck,
Mary

Hello Everyone!
I haven't been around in a long time.
I had RNY with Dr Roe almost 7 years ago. I had done well and now I've gained
back about 80 pounds. I am in counseling and still not motivated to lose the
weight. I know I need to do something. I eat right and exercise for 3-4 weeks
and lose weight and then I go off track again. I've been playing with this 80
pounds for about a year now.
Any ideas??
Beth
