I have gained about 50 pounds back and now trying to do Weigh****chers.  I still have a net loss of 140 pounds and know I'm much healthier because of it.

I also wanted to add that I'm sorry for your loss and for your friends family.

I can't say I've ever been a big cheerleader for this surgery. It is such a personal decision (especially when the possiblity of death is on the line). I lost a friend who cross addicted to pain meds.

Congrats Charlie. Mine is coming up at the end of this month. I keep playing with the same 20lbs up and down. HBP has come back and I'm on meds, but over all still happy.

Hi Dianne,

Definitely wishing you well. I keep playing up and down with 20lbs. I use the 5 day pouch test diet a lot to get me back on track. Hope WW is a good solution for you.

Well howdy Lara!

Ah cross addiction. I live post op very cognizant of the possibility. For me, binge drinking is my vice. I don't know how alcohol will affect me from one time to another. Well there are times when I've gone WAY passed too much before I even knew what hit me. Yet I continue to give it another go...and another...and another.

So, recently, I decided to start living with out it. I figure if the urge to drink is so great that I can't commit to that plan...then I need to look for additional help.

Was doing well up to this weekend...my niece’s bridal shower. Guess the champagne game. Not a lot of people in attendance so I felt compelled to join in. I'm happy to say I only drink 5 finger fulls of champagne and stopped there and have had no desire to drink since.

Time will tell. And you...how are you holding up?
