no one in oregon has had wls

from the look of this forum It looks like no one in Oregon wants or has had wls , where is everyone , I guess everyone is thin here from walking in the mountains and running down top the coast for crabs

It's true, there is not a lot of activity on the message board anymore. But some of us who went to the support group downtown are willing to get it back in use! I am 19 months out from RNY. @ Goal.

What support group do you go to?

 

the one at Good Sam downtown. 

why would you need to lose more weight if you are 105, are you really short??

sounds like you rdoing great

It's appears I'm doing great, but I've actually gained 10lbs from my lowest weight a few months ago. I'm exercising like crazy to try and keep the re-gain at bay! The honeymoon period is really over!

exercising like crazy will only do a little , you need to keep your calories down to like 600 and your protein up to 80gm

 I go to the support group from my medical center at river bend in Springfield , the first Monday of every month (except labor day)

It is my non expert opinion and personal experience plus the anecdotal experiences of many post ops that I have read about that exercise, unless it is very heavy like a marathon, won't do much to lose weight.  It does help a lot of things and it does help your metabolism so that when you eat properly you will lose efficiently but alone it won't cause weight loss.  I have tracked my intake and the supposed calories burned with exercise and my weight has stayed exactly the same when I eat the same no matter how many calories I have supposedly burned.  Meaning that I can eat, say, 1500 calories a day with no exercise for a month and then eat 1500 calories a day while supposedly burning 500 calories a day with exercise for a month and there is no difference in my weight.  I feel better and I get all the health benefits from exercise but it doesn't affect my weight whatsoever.  Maybe I'm a freak but I have heard the same from many others.

I'm in Oregon! Albany to be exact. Just had the sleeve 12 days ago in coos bay. And my mom is on here. She did the same about 2 months ago.
