New to Group.

Hi, I am new to this board. I had my surgery May 2006. I really NEED HELP. I have never reached my goal. I started at 241 (day of surgery) I am now after almost 2 years at 150. My Dr. wants me to be at 140 by my 2 year appt. I guess I'm not eating right. I know I eat WAY to many carbs. what are ya'll doing to keep your weight off. Now I'm having chronic constipation. Any suggestions? Thanks Angie in GA

Hello Angie Welcome aboard the May boat. We are all struggling here - some to reach their goal, some to not gain. We all support each other as best we can. You know the basics, you have taken the first step. When have you ever stuck to a diet for two years before? I know I NEVER have. But this time it is different for us - we will stick this out for life because there is no going back - we do not want to go back to where we've come from. You have done a great job so far, and I'm sure you can get back to the rules. Hang about, join in the conversation and let us get to know you, so we can all help each other. Looking forward to it
