Hi Lucy~ It's been waaaaay too long!! I've been struggling, too, to keep all of my weight off. To date, I've been dealing with those nasty 10 lb. "bounce back" weight. Don't feel alone!! I think it's very normal for us to still be dealing with issues~ life hasn't changed all of the time. I've had some personal issues to contend with, too, during the last 6 weeks or so~ it's hard not to go back to the old ways. Thank goodness for exercise, which I haven't been doing much of lately, either. I still do my 5K's, 10K's, and did a 1/2 marathon in Oct. How did your surgery go? What complications have you had, if any form ps? I'm considering getting my arms and breasts done this summer. Did you say you were having yours removed? Hope all has gone smoothly this time around!! Hugs, Kerri

Hi Lisa and Everyone else out there still checking in on this board... Guess from the responses many are in the same boat, needing to be more diligent about keeping up with ALL the vits and sliding down the slippery slope of confidence that we know what we are doing and then falling of track - I know I was warned in advance that bounce back of 10-15% is common around the 2 year mark and of course, told myself ( deluded, whats new) that this was NOT going to be me, now here I am, this morning up 8 lbs from where I want to be when I swore that once I got to +3 I would do what ever it took to get back down to my "magic" number... Know I have lost control of several of the good habits I developed early on and now need to get back to them...Resolved this afternoon, its over, I cannot do my pre-op cop-out and say it'll wait until after the holidays...Banning excess simple carbs for my choices and limiting refined sugar to 5 grams or less per serving AND its time to get back to 3 small MEASURED meals and 2 good snacks with NO side tracks... Just my two cents...Keep the course, work the program, remember RNY only fails you if you fail it... Alesia

Hey girl! Glad to hear from you! I have had some rough spots too. Just keep plugging. I am still struggling with the bulemic stuff on and off, so although I haven't gained any weight I am not following the program all the time either. I have a girlfriend with Roux n y that has gained most of her weight back so it is a good thing that you are aware and getting hold of it. I find it helpful to weigh myself everyday so I am aware when the weight starts to creep up. Love you lots and I will be thinking of you this week with your surgery! Wendy

Thanks for posting about this. I haven't been able to go to my 2 year-check-up. No insurance and no money...I need to figure out a way to do this to make sure everything is okay.

Hi Lisa. I haven't been on this site for sometime. I, too have very low iron and have been on supplements since June. My levels have come up a bit since then. I felt tired all the time. That sure explained it for me. Now I am working on my weight regain, I feel so bad about it. I was so vigilent and then down the path of destruction again. I am having another round of plastic surgery in less than two weeks. I'm having a face lift and removing my breast implants. I've been so depressed with them. I'll be so happy to have them out. I hope you're up to par soon. Hugs, Lucy
