My intro

[AmyTX]

Hi! I was sleeved in March 2015 and reached goal six months later. I have been doing great and maintaining until recently. In the past 6 months my weight has crept up 5 lbs. it panics me a little and I want to get a grip before it gets out of control.

I have not been involved in a support group, but, do see a therapist. I have tried local groups, but they are discouraging because so many have regained most/all of their weight. I need successful role models to give me hope that this is possible long term!

Thank you!

Hi Amy!
Do you have any idea why this happens?
Other foods, other choices, bigger portions?
I am one year out and about to start my maintenance, so everything I can learn from others is very helpful to me.

5 lbs is not a lot of weight to gain. Get back on the program, keep a diary (if you don't already), and try to exercise.

I also use 5 lbs as my alarm signal for when I need to reevaluate what I'm putting into my stomach. I weigh daily so I'm not surprised by any numbers!

My suggestions:

Keep a food diary
Drink lots of water 80 + oz daily!
Weigh Daily
Exercise

With good diet and exercise the 5lbs should be gone in a couple weeks.

Hope this helps.

Agree with Glenn. 5 lbs is my alarm bell. Sraebaer had gained 5 lbs after an injury and used weight watchers point system to get back on track. She said it helped her really reevaluate what she was putting in her mouth.
