It's been 5 years. I went from 270 to 150. Life was great. I was feeling better about myself. The last few years have been rough ....out of work, hysterectomy, and many personal problems. I've hit 200 again and cannot express what a failure I feel like. I can't walk or exercise much because my right hip needs to be replaced some day. Probably from all that weight I was carrying during my obese years.
Anyone else struggling?

Just wanted to wish y'all well!!!

I had my GB 02/01/2006.  I lost about 42 lbs.  I have gained back about 10 lbs since.  I was small to begin with (212 lbs) so I knew my weight loss wouldn't be huge. 

I exerise like crazy now and have been for the past 4 years, maybe missing about 6 months in total due to some personal things that I was doing.  I am now trying to get back on track because I am now getting married June 11th, 2011....

Can anyone, please tell me what I can do to get these 10 lbs off of me.  To jumpstart this thing again.  My eating habits aren't out of control, and exerise is one of my best hobbies, I just can't seem to get this tomgether.

Can anyone who is new out, or even old out who is still maintaining, help me and give me a menu or some pointers on getting back on track the way I should.  Again, I'm not doing bad, but want at least these 10 lbs off before my wedding...

Help me out.

Found your post after searching on the forum because I just had an experience exactly like this...I'm only 5 months out. Got an appt. with a urologist next week as I suspect kidney stones. Hope and pray there will be no more as that was one of the most unpleasant experiences I have ever had.

I know I can't believe it was 4 years ago!!!!!!

There are only a handful of surgeons in the country that can do a RNY to DS revision. You are fortunate one of them is in NJ. I think it's Dr. greenbaum. You can get his info on the DS forum on this site or on www.dsfacts.com

Good luck to you.

Have you considered a revision to the duodenal switch?

Sherleb,
I refuse to give up, and you shouldn't either.  I'm just trying to watch what I eat and try not to snack through the Christmas, then I plan to go back on Liquids and shrink my stomach back down.  My doc says it works, so what have i got to lose but the weight again.  Luckly I only have about 30-40 lbs to lose, but i'm gonna do it 5 lbs at a time.I also hope to get back to excercising.  I have 2 artifical knees and the older of the two is starting to act unstable so I'm gonna try water aerobics.  Have a nice holiday and lets try to help each other get back to where we were.

I am in the same boat.  I have not posted in a long time, but i totally understand where u are coming from I have gained almost all my weight back.  I am so embarressed and disgusted i dont know where to turn.  I wish you the best of luck

Thanks for the answer,  I have tried fitday.com then I get frustrated with it. lol lately my frustration level is just way too low.  I'm taking classes and find my self snacking while doing homework.  also i'm having a hard time keeping down meat, especially if I eat bread or other starches with it.  How are you doing at maintaining and how far out are you.  Tell me about your self.
My other question has to do with being tired alllllll the time, they say my blood work is good, yet I sleep all the time and i'm tired all the time.  Any ideas.
