After struggling for the past year and being embarrassed that I gained 15 pounds back, I finally decided that I NEEDED to go back to support group.
Well let's just say, the peep's were wonderful.....So supportive, and inspiring......And I'm so glad I went back....I have a new focus.....
After telling them symptoms I've been having, I realized I'm having Hyperglycemia issues. So will log all food ate and when to see if there is a pattern happening....
Thank you so much to the Elk River Unity support group....I will see you the 19th...

I'm so glad that you were able to find a wonderful support group & get some answers on your symptoms!! 
I think support is soooo important in this journey, and finding that special group of people that you can meet with (whether it be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc) to talk about lifes ups & downs, how things are going post & pre-surgery, etc. I think is so wonderful. I hope you'll find your way to Eagan on an upcoming Saturday since I'd still really love to meet you (we'll be meeting there again on 4/17).

Connie,
Thank you.....
But I'm NO inspiration......I'm the example of what NOT to do......You have to stick to the program if you want to be successful the rest of your life.....Taking the weight off is easy.....It's the maintenance that sucks, especially if you didin't follow the rules.....
Send me an email as to what's going on....I'm worried about you.....I'm a good listener.....
Love ya, Kel

Kelly,
I"m glad to hear you've taken the steps to get the needed support. I understand the embarrassment, because I had gained back 40 pounds before I took serious action. Just know this is a lifelong journey, and the positive support will always be needed (this varies over time). I realized that I also need to stay connected to keep control of my addiction to food. It is so easy to replace with other negative choices, and the support groups help me stay focused on the positive choices.
You will regain control! You will loose the weight! You will stay healthy - physically, mentally, and spiritually!
Hypoglycemia seems to be a common side-effect of RNY, the further out people get from their surgery. I struggle with this from time-to-time, also. I've found that balance is the key to keeping things in check.
Yay you!

Cheryl,
Those are the key words, "Life long."
I didn't realize exactly how much I missed support group till last night, it re -focused me, made me think.......
I didn't realize Hypoglycemia was so common with RNY.....It really explains a lot with what I was going through almost daily. Now I know if it happens again to eat a high protein food....
Thank you for your support.....I agree going to support group is so important, I lost track of that......
I do believe I can do it.......Hopefully in a few weeks I can post a few pounds of WL......
Thanks again, Kelly
