Sorry to hear things are not going so well right now. I feel like I have done really well since my surgery on 2/8/08, but now have a fear of gaining weight because I am now able to eat more and see some of my old habbits creeping back in.
I have lost 130 lbs since surgery and currently weigh about 150 - give or take a few lbs.
We really have to get back on track.....I know I need to do a better job of planning my food and get my rear to the gym more often.
Don't know if this helps.....I have never responded to one of these....normally just a reader....
We have lost so muc and just need to continue to head the right direction.
I continue to lose about 1 or 2 pounds a week. I hope that it continues for awhile longer I have about 40 more pounds I want to lose. I bought a bicycle today and plan on using it as much as I can this summer.

Just this past week (Monday night) I went to the ER for pain in my abdomin and ended up having surgery (Tuesday early morning). Apparently scar tissue from radiation treatment I had eight years ago for cancer had wrapped itself around my intestines and was causing a blockage and they had to go in laparoscopically and clean the adhesions out. I was in soooo much pain before and now feel 100% better. I couldn't eat before and was vomiting. I wasn't sure what was going on but I knew something wasn't right. Fortunately my WLS surgeon was able to do this surgery too so I knew I was in good hands. I am feeling soooo good now I can't believe. It must have been building for a while because I hadn't been feeling well for a couple of weeks but could never pinpont why.
That's all that's been going on with me. Holding steady at 108 lbs lost...seem to have stopped losing once I hit the one year mark. I hope to lose another 25 lbs but am giving myself a year to do it. My surgeon told me that I had probably lost all that I would lose due to my bypass and that if I wanted to lose anymore that it would have to be through my own efforts. So, wish me luck on that last 25 lbs. I am wearing a some size 10s now (depends on the cut/brand name), which is nice. Hanging onto those 12s for now though.
Love to all and have a happy Easter!
