Just got to thinking today that my WLS day was coming up. It's in 2 days. Just curious if anyone ever checks in on here.
I've gained a bit back but keeping most of it off. I miss being able to eat whatever I want. Aka sweets.
Anyone else????
That is a lot to deal with, I hope you continue to take care of yourself!

BELOW GOAL!!!! AND STILL LOSING
I am 8 years post op and I am having some complications I think that may be related to surgery. Wanted to get some advice. First a recap, I was 358 lbs and lost as much as 225 lbs but gained 75 back so I am sitting at about 220lbs now. Of course I am not happy with that but I am trying to get back on track. My issues are that regardless of what I eat I feel nasea after and a need to lie day till it passes (usually and hour). I am afraid to eat much of anything these days.
Anyone else struggle with this? My doctor passed away so I need to find a new doctor soon.

BELOW GOAL!!!! AND STILL LOSING
Hello All
I noticed it's very very quiet around here, and just wanted to stop in and say hello and let you know how I am doing, 7 years later. I've had some direct health problems as a result of the surgery specifically the fact that I do not absorb iron so I had to have iron transfusions, and will for the rest of my life. I gained a little with emotional issues because that's my "comfort", and boy, i've had a lot of them in my short time here. The most heart breaking of all is that mixed in with an amazingly happy occasion, which was that my husband and I bought our first home together, I then find out my beautiful older sister has terminal lung and brain cancer. She has stage IV lung cancer that metastasized into her brain and turned into Stage IV brain cancer. Her cancer is terminal, not treatable and not curable. The doctors can give her "palliative" care to ease her pain, but, that's it. I never learned how to cope with difficult situations without using food prior to surgery, and that was my downfall after surgery. I have used other ways to cope that are not healthy, but, not food. Because I have this unnatural fear of being who I was before....
anyways that's me -- I had a car accident(s), severe ones, one seizure, iron transfusions, I am back in my size 10's and can get into my size 8's...and 12's are easy.
good luck!
Vicky,
Did you get his app developed and if so, what is the name?
Sorry I am just reading this post today. Where I am today is up from the last time I posted my weight- according to my doc's scale only up 5 pounds from last year but I think it lies. When I last stepped on the scale it read 167 so that is up a lot but still down 143 from my highest weight. My excuse is I can't exercise because of leg pain due to a car accident I had a few years ago but that in itself isn't the reason. I eat dumb things, chips, small bites of chocolate, frosted animal crackers are my downfall, I drink with my meals, I DO NOT follow any of the rules like I did 6 years ago. I am still thankful that I had the surgery but do regret it when I want to eat a donut (or a dozen) but overall still glad I was given the tool for weight loss even if I don't use it right all the time.
I love how positive you are! You have done a great job, keep up the good work a 1/2 marathon is amazing.
I had my RNY reversed during surgery and, had my small bowe removed (90%) of it.
Was on a feeding tube for 8 months and doing so much better today.
I'm trying again to drop 30lbs... but hey it's not 130lbs like before.
This is why I'm proud of myself so far this year I have done a 1/2 marathon that is 13.1 miles (took me 3 hrs and 46 min).
I am moving and I'm living life and I go out dancing and I hike to the top of mountains... I am successful even if I'm not a size 10 (I'm a 16) but when I started out I was a size 26!!!
I love life and I will always struggle to keep the weight off but I think that just makes me a normal middle aged woman.
