I did the same thing with profiles. I didn't have a lot on my first one so I was ok to start over. I too have been gaining weight during all the worlds crazy but I am getting back on track now, even walking daily.

Welcome back to OH!

Welcome back. The secret is to eat less calories than you burn. It works every time and is the only thing that works. My Fitness Pal is free and a great tool for tracking. Weigh every day on the same scale. You need 10 calories per day for each pound you want to maintain. So to maintain 130 it takes 1300 calories a day. To lose a pound a week cut 500 a day. That would put you to 800 for 130 pound goal. A pound a week seems too slow but in a year it is 52 pounds less.

I had a profile years ago and couldn't find it so a few months back I created a new one and then the holidays came and I forgot all about it. Probably because I am steadily gaining weight and haven't wanted to face my truth once again. I hope to get back on track now. I came back to obesityhelp to get inspired again and for support.

I had a Sadi DS which I'm sure caused an issue for colonoscopy. Normally I have a major bowel cleanout most mornings, and the day of the colonoscopy I didn't. I think the drinks and pills are not effective and in some ways interferes with the normal functioning of the altered digestive system.

I also think the early morning scheduling of the colonoscopy didn't help. I eventually had the colonoscopy about 8 months later but had to try different cleanout drinks and scheduled an afternoon procedure for more time to clear things out.

I doubt your RNY had anything to do with it. There are several of us on here who've had successful colonoscopies.

My last colonoscopy was like that, though - I had to have only liquids starting two days before, and drink a bottle of magnesium citrate that night. The next day I had to start up on GoLytely (or whatever that stuff is called in the gallon bottle). Wasn't quite enough to clean me out. The doctor said afterward that I had "redundant colon" (an unusually long large intestine), so he noted that in my file so I could start the process earlier next time. That wouldn't have had anything to do with my RNY, but i was kind of wondering if maybe my colon was unusually long because I weighed almost 400 lbs at one time? Not sure. I'll ask next time I see someone who might have some insight on that. I just know the first colonoscopy I had, in 2010, was fine (although I weighed close to 400 lbs then, so I would have thought my colon would have already stretched, if that was in fact the cause). So..who knows?
