You can take communion once you're cleared for regular food-not before then.

Scuba diving is fine once you're completely healed and up to the physical part.  You will be weak and tired for a while but certainly by 5-6 months out.

Several of us recently started a "Regain Board" that is a PRIVATE OH group and we are currently looking to add a couple of new members.  We purposely put a limit on how many people could join so it wouldn't become overwhelming.  Due to the lack of participation by a few members, we now have a couple of openings.

RULES:
You MUST be over 2 years out from surgery AND have experienced at least a 15 lb regain.

You MUST be an active participant-if you don't post 2-3 times a week your membership will be terminated. (as recently happened).

You MUST be willing to work hard to lose your regain.  This is a NO FLUFF board-if you talk the talk, you better walk the walk or except the fact that we're gonna call you on it.  It's not fairy farts and rainbows-we don't accept excuses (unless REALLY legitimate) and we don't accept WHINING.

What is said on the board, STAYS on the board-it is private for this very reason.  No one is allowed to lurk and not participate because some very serious topics are discussed and it NEEDS to remain private.  It is a SAFE place to be able to express what you feel and know that it's not going to be spread around as gossip. 

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please PM me.  There are 5 moderators who will all vote for admission.  Remember we only have a couple spots this time so if you don't get in, hang in there.  I'll keep your info for when more spots open.  If you can't commit to the posting requirement, please don't apply.  All we ask is for 10 minutes/day 3 days a week minimum...Aren't you worth that?
