Ginnny - Congrats on losing 100 lbs!!

My RNY worked fine - I, however, didn't. I put it like this --- It didn't fail me, I failed it. I fell off the wagon, dragged it into the woods, set fire to it and made S'mores ... and as a result, gained back most of what I'd lost. I've tried WW, but when they changed programs last year, I had a hard time sticking to it, and gained back what I'd lost with them and then some. I've been in discussions with Dr. Hong for a year about getting the DS, but life got in the way, so I had to put it off. But I'm back on track to seeing if this is a possibility for me. I've learned my lesson and will recommit - either by surgery or other means - to get this weight off and keep it off.

First off, thanks! It was tough work and maintaining is even tougher.

If your RNY didn't fail then I am confused on why/how they would consider a revision surgery. You can eat around any surgery out there. Why do you think you will be any more successful with a different type of surgery?

Have you tried going back to the way you were supposed to eat Post RNY? That is dense protein first, low carb veg, and limited amounts of fruit? 100+ oz of water and taking your vitamin supplements?

Can you not "recommit" to the tool you have already been given? Have you had any therapy since your RNY? It reads like you have some issues with food that you need to understand and learn how to handle.

I'm not an expert and I'm not trying to be mean but if you couldn't work the RNY tool I don't know how you will be successful with the DS.

I do wish you luck in accomplishing the goals you want!

Thanks. I posted here out of habit.

Hello Lovely people!

I have my trios appointment next week and I am completing my food journal this week. Does anyone know if we can bring a typed copy of the journal or do they prefer the copy they provided hand written?

Thanks!!

Was I one minute ahead or one minute behind?? Lol.

Happy Hump Day all! What a morning! Freezing rain, rain, slushy roads, yuck!! Despite all that I made it to the gym this morning and I will go back this afternoon for rowing/ab class again!

I'm the Insurance Coordinator at work (among other things) so I cringe when I see the slushy side walks, parking lots and steps to the buildings. I just want to go and get a shovel so I don't have to deal with the slip and fall claims later!
