I don’t know how I have never come across your site, but it is awesome! I am also 6 years out; started at 274; however, I never got to goal (150) and gained about 30 lbs. It seems this is where my weight wanted to reset at but not where I want to be. I have been 205 for a year and a half now and don’t know how to lose this. In the last 2 months I have stayed away from all sugar, pasta, rice, bread, eating protein first then veggies. I did sit down to look at how I got into this mess and it was grazing and not exercising. The only thing left to help is exercise more but due to a back injury I haven’t done much, so I’m thinking once that in incorporated it should start to move again. Any suggestions on what else I am not doing right. By viewing your site I do believe I am was over eating. I don’t feel like I have been, but I eat quite a bit more then you. My meat portions are closer to 3 or 4 oz. ounces depending on what the meat is. I purchased small bowls to pack my lunch in and when it gone I’m done. I am better at what I consume for a snack now. Others have recommended the 5 day pouch test but I don’t think that is necessary since I do fill quickly; and the carb monster is not a problem. I think my pouch I just fine. I just hadn’t been paying attention until a few months back. I get in about 1/2 gal of fluids in per day; I still struggle to get more in. I think I am doing everything right at this point, but just want to be sure. I am too embarrassed to see my surgeon; I feel like a failure and really wanted to go to him once this started to move again. I still try to get in at least one protein shake a day. Is there anything else you thing I should be doing?? I really appreciate any advice you would like to give.

Thanks Susan M
