Topic: Big fat failure!
I'm a big fat failure! I was 414, got down to 260, now back up to 300. I'm looking into getting a revision. I need to lose 100 more pounds.
Just wanted to share, with the rest of you, that I am a failure.
Not that many people come here anymore. Everyone must be doing great! But me

Vickie, All of the above suggestions are great. I have regained 35 pounds of the 177 that I lost and must get it back off. I just got a droid phone and am learning what some apps can do so am not sure what can be included. I like the weight loss tracker especially. Back to basics is a must and we all need reminded of that I think. Good luck in your challenge with the app and try to do it for the Droids too. Julia RNY 4-10-2006

Topic: Building a WLS Iphone, Blackberry App- HELP !!!
Hi Ladies and Gents,
I am in the process of building an app specifically related to WLS. I want to know what specifically you would want the app to do for you. Some of the responses I've gotten so far have been:
- send reminders about vitamins, water, protein
- meal planning
- exercise suggestions
- weight loss tracker
Anything you could think of that would make your post op wls journey go more smoothly I would appreciate. If you've started to regain weight, how could the app help you get back on track. I'll be posting this on a couple of forums. I appreciate your input.

Topic: RE: Almost 4 years out
I understand, I started at 414, got to 260, and now I'm up to 298. I joined TOPS last week, and started belly dance this week. I have to lose the weight, or my surgery will have been for NOTHING 
I'm thinking about going on the HCG diet in a few weeks.

Topic: RE: Almost 4 years out
Me too. I was 341 on surgery day got down to 191 then I have grazed my way back to 238. I think I still have pretty good restriction, I don't drink with my meals and wait an hour after I eat to start drinking, and I still drink a gallon a day of calorie and caffeine free liquids. But I know my grazing is the problem. I'm so full of self loathing it's very depressing. We were given a tool and if we use it properly it will do what it is meant to do. So... I'm sorry I don't have any good advice for you, but I totally understand how you're feeling... Love, Jenn

Topic: RE: 4 years out today!!!!
Morning Julia,
I feel the same way you do with taking off what we have gained, wishing the tool was as active as it was four years ago. Seems I can eat a lot more and pretty much anything without getting sick. I liked the getting sick as it kept me from eatn what I shouldn't. I've been watching Ruby on the Style channel, last night they told her "Its not what your eatting but what is eatting you" making her get to the root of her food issues. Thinking that is what I need to do, I like food and I eat when I am stressed out. Which these days is a lot!
Hope everyone else is doing good!
Have an awesome day.
Hugs,
Jenni

Topic: 4 years out today!!!!
Well I am four years out today and while I have gained about 25 pounds I am alive and feel great. I don't know where I would be today without this surgery. I must get back to the basic and take off what I have gained as I cannot not afford to gain any more. How is everyone else doing in this great group of April 06??
Good luck to all. Julia
