Hello Everyone!  I haven't posted in a long time I know.  I am having issues with the plateau I have reached.  I am 2 years post op I lost onver 100 pounds and got down to about 169, whicH I was pretty happy with, but then I stalled out and now I have begun to teeter up and down.  It is very frustrating.  I am planning to do the 5 day pouch test but that is only a quick fix I fear.  Not only that, I have commitment issues when it comes to sticking to something like that, I have no will power, hence the reason I even need the gastric bypass.  I am afraid I will fail before I even start.  I would really benefit from an accountability partner in excercise as well.  I always wimp out and put it off.  Any suggestions or  motivational quips?
