I feel like a fat loser and not in the good way. I went through a bad divorce 3 years after my surgery, Pregnancy, then death of the baby. Weight began coming back on due to my self sabotage. My highest weight before surgery ( 12/26/2007) was 320, as of yesterday I'm at 294. Lowest weight was 154. I am super ashamed to go to my surgeon. Not sure anything can be done anyway. I can't sit and eat a ton of food but graze through the day. My weight is once again out of control, and I don't even know where to begin. How on earth did I go through a life changing surgery to get my life back to just lose it again.....HELP!!

Hi guys, I dont come on much anymore becoz im so busy with work and health issues. I have lost 160 pounds from my highest weight of 320, was actually 165 BUT I keep going from 155 to 160. The weight loss has STOPPED. My goal was to get to 145, but that seems like it won't happen!!!! I am very happy at the sucess of my loss, just not the hanging skin!! But I do love the fact I can wear size 8, all the way from a tight size 28W. Anyway here goes my question, How many calories should I be eating at almost 2 years out? Yes I've asked my doc and nut, but they are just not clear. The nut is like less that 1000 calories, but im finding that impossible to do. Im eating more like 1500 to 1700 calories a day. That includes my meals snacks and sugar fee latte that im addicted too! Im afraid of gaining weight. Ive seen so many others who are putting the weight back on and now that im at this stand still I dont know what to do..PLEASE GUYS GIVE ME SOME ADVICE! I do exercise daily atleast 1 hour. Im just really lost about the calorie issue becoz of no good info from my medical team.

Thanks and Big hugs to ALL! Elizabeth

Hi guys<br />
<br />
Well Im back at being sick again....everytime I get one part of me fixed another one breaks down. I have a canalope size cyst on my left ovary... I will go into the hospital on Tuesday for surgery to have the whole ovary removed.. I have tried to get my RNY surgeon to assist but his schedule is not permitting it. Anyway I have 2 questions. 1st has anyone else had to have ovaries removed after rny. 2nd, I remember reading somewhere on OH before about rny'ers having some issue with the anesthesia tubes... I do not quiet remember the whole topic or information on it so if anyone can enlighten me it would be great.<br />
Thanks a bunch everyone!<br />

Hugs!

Way to go! CONGRATS!! I hope to be right behind u in onderland!

Congrats on your sucess! I hope im right behind you soon!!

Well to be honest I dont know what he is doing, but it is between him and God.. If he is being a scammer then God will punish him, if he is not I hope he gets the help he needs. Otherwise we can all just ignore his posts if we cant or dont want to help. I just dont think its nice to be rude because in the end we really dont know what the situation is with him and his wife or if he really has cancer or not. I for sure dont want to be scammed and dont wanna see good people scammed also, but lets all be polite or just ignore him.

I drink diet soda all the time.. since about 5 months after my surgery.. I have not stretched my pouch and I have not had a slow weight loss.. unless u call 107 pounds in 8 months slow.. I do however drink my water everyday also along with 1 or 2 diet caffiene free sodas. My doctor doesnt have a problem with it. I did have one stall, but it was due to eating too much watermelon!!!!!! It had me holding about 10 pounds of water for a month coz i was eating it everyday.. after i gave up the water melon I lost 20 pounds plus super fast.

CONGRATS!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!

LOL! Again Im so happy it's not just me! Too bad it's not packed full of protien!

LOL! Well Im glad to know it's not just me! I cant eat a lot of anything else but that darn watermelon calls my name!
