Good to see you, Lisa. I check here all the time but it's so quiet, I just kinda gave up. I constantly struggle, too. My weight has crept up about 10 pounds. I didn't exercise for about a year, so I am now back to it..doing kickboxing and step classes. I also walk every day. Hopefully this will help. It seems like I have no restriction anymore. Some days I can actually eat all day long. My clothes still fit the same, so that's the good news. I am going to try very hard to get this weight off by the end of the year. I hope your surgery goes well.

 Hey Shar..
 I need to start exercising as soon as my surgery  has healed up . I had a unfill yester in preperstion for surgery and I can probally eat like a horse  right about now. I at about 1400 calories yestersay and man I could have eaten more. I am gonna concetrate on eating protein and veggies first .. I have such a craving for sugar lately I think it is because I am needing a comfort food bad so I am trying to  make low calorie comfort food. I am so worried i will be in the unthinkable 190 range. I was talking to my doc yesterday along with my hubby that had rny   and he was inquiring about lap band post  RNY and told him 30 lbs weigh gain is the avg for most have had rny 3 years out and told him 10 lbs a year is avg weight gain for most gastric by pass who do not exercise but with exercise he says study shows they have less weight gain .. I guess exercise is a huge key to sucessfull weight loss. He said sad part is our metablism has got use to so little amount of food so weight gain is so easy. I GAIN SO FAST.. SCARES ME WHEN I HAD A UNFILL. really shows i  dont have a handle on making good choices. I use to  drink soda  and now but now I am drinking other stuff not good drinking venti vaniila bean frapachino  is it? lol   I need to find a low caloried subsatute i hate water and crystal light  nasty stuff so I am gonna hit herbal tea now that it is cold .. seems most my calories is from drinking the wrong stuff..
I would love to hear from u .. call me again i lost your number lol
