Hi Janet -   WEll - I don't experiment much on the OH  site..but found the Oct 2007 boards

I too am SLOWLY gaining weight and NOT HAPPY WITH MYSELF.   I don't have a problem with sugar, but I do get sleepy -  OH BOY _  DO I get sleepy - its like a sleep coma for 30 min and then I'm fine......

I too am having a problem with the gotta have it at the office scenario.....if vendors bring it in - finidng it hard to say no  - no matter if I"m "hungry" or not..........I'm finding that if I just have it or want it - I consume it.........  I want that feeling back of "food fear" that I had early on !!   OH those were the days..

My weight you ask?  I got down from 338 to 199........now - 220...............am maintaining that for several months...............my counselor states that only gained 21 lbs in 3 years isn't that bad...so I'm doing something right...............I started seeing a life coach counselor last week cuz I am NOT going back to where I started...........

YOu are more than welcome to come over to the TX RNY board if you'd like. WE have several regular daily threads on accountability and if you have questions to get back on track - just decide that is what you do.........get loaded up on the proteins and good foods, plan, track and be prepared.............I"m not one to be preaching here...............but think about the 5 day pouch test to start over.....    www.5daypouchtest.com 

Good luck.......
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.  
  • Total Lost:  139 lbs
  • Current Weight:  263  
  • As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain.  Not happy about that.
  • RNY: 10-16-07 = 338:  Highest weight: 350+  Lowest Weight: 199

Well hope everyone is doing good, I have been gaining weight and can not stop it, last check I was 191 up from 165, I need to get my life back on track. so how is everyone doing, has anyone else gaining back some of the weight? my biggest problem is that I do not have any problem with eating sugar, I love sweets and just can not leave them alone, this is why I got fat to start with, and carbs omg the carbs just keep coming.
I need to get back on the wagon. how are you?

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Hi October 07 surgery folks,

I'm inviting you to a little group to help those (yes, including myself) who have gained 10 or more pounds beyond that lowest weight. We are calling it the "Drop 10 for 10 Challenge". You can easily join this group by going to www.obesityhelp.com/group/Drop10410. I'm hoping that with your help we can generate a little excitement and enthusiasm for getting back on track. We will have a monthly weighin, but it will only be pounds off since the start of the new 2010 decade. Your participation is only what you want to make it. I'm pumped up and ready to get back on track for 2010.

There are no hard and fast rules for joining, but you really should be at least 10 pounds above your lowest post-surgery weight and interested in getting things back in line.

Let's get this new decade off to a great start.

John Wurm

Mine is slowly still coming off as well. People ask me when I'll stop losing, and I say, "When my body's ready to."


Highest weight: 354
Date of consult-333
Day of surgery-303
Today-168

Would dearly love plastic surgery but am more terrified of it than the WLS. I will not reach goal as it is a very unhealthy unrealistic weight for me (doc even agrees).  At my current weight, I am a size 8, so I'm not complaining.

Thought I'd drop in here and yeah, it's beena while!

I'm fairly well stalled and even went up a couple of pounds.  I'm NOT happy about that but earned them.  I need to get out of the mind set of eat whatever as long as it stays by me...

I've had a bit of problem keeping protein down... anything solid as a matter of fact.  So am back today in an attenpt to get myself back on track and get my protein in and everything that goes along with it.  any hints, tips etc are greatlly appreciated!

Hi all,

Seems a while since any of us have written.  Just wondering how you are all doing, and where you are on your journey? How much lost? Still losing or stopped?

My loss has slowed as last reported, but am still losing weight s-l-o-w-l-y. As long as I am still losing, and getting to my goal - that's ok with me! Only 18 pounds or so to go! I can't  believe it. I feel great, and all has been well. I have adjusted well to the changes in my body and attitude. I am lucky in that my skin is pretty well intact - the only place I am not thrilled with is my arms. Not hanging skin or anything - just not tight. I got some guns and I want them to show! The rest of me, it's ok. I don't feel or see the need for ps. I am very thankful for that. Looking forward to hearing from others.

Topic: RE: Still losing??
Thanks so much Jenny. I actually finally got in to see the PA last friday and she told me that all my labs look great but to increase my protein a bit to help level off if I was ready to stop. She also told me that when I go to the gym to focus more on working with the weights and not as much cardio. Basically she believes my metabolisim has kicked in to high gear now but since my BMI is just at 21 and an unhealthy BMI for me would be more like 18-19 I am ok its just more a matter of how comfortable I am.
