Help!!! I have fallen down and I can't get up!

hug Toni..we are here for you like you are for us!

I'm sorry you and many of us are having this problem. It seems the surgery was the easy part (who would believe we would ever say that). Those who told us that it was only a tool were right. The things that triggered our weight gain are still with us. I, too, am having some problems and am trying to find someway to channel these emotions into something else besides eating. I liked the idea of the group walking. I rather envy Kevin and the others who walk every Saturday morning. I pray that you (and all the others who are having this problem) will find answers to harness this emotional eating. Dora H

Hey Toni, Unfortunately, you are not alone. I too, am experiencing all of this. It is very scary. I think I will check out that website. I think it is so wonderful that you run that support group. We need to get control!!!! Get motivated!!!! Take care, Carey

I AGREE WITH KP....GIT R DONE TONI!!!!! COME ON YOU CAN DO IT!!!! HUGS JUDY

Hi Toni!! I haven't been on for a long while. I'm 2 3/4 years out and I've watched you!! Great yeh!! But I have to agree in that I'm up 13 pounds from my lowest but I was too thin for my head size. The last 8 pounds came on quickly and it is very scary cuz I know I'm eating wrong. I love carbs---always have. It is such an unsettling feeling to know this could be the end of a glorious journey. My sister is still at 127. The fart. I called her and she listened to me soo caringly then she was very blunt and said---stop the carbs, all you need is your vitamins and your protein drink. Who are you trying to kidd. Do it today, and worry about tomorrow-tomorrow. I did lose 5 pounds in 3 days by going back to the basics but that isn't something I can stick to. As before this surgery those 5 came back quickly. I'm on vacation with my husband right now in Florida and the reason I'm back on the message board is cuz we have been exercising every day and I actually ran 3/4 mile today. This is a little step and I know it is early but I need to make this a habit. I felt good at 142 and I'm hoping to make my way back there but in a way that is a life style change that is realistic. Work one day at a time. I'll pray for you---please keep me in your thoughts too. Marti
