there is always hope

hello my name is ericia and i had gastric bypass 2years 7months ago. i thought i would never be on this board. i thought after surgery it would change my life eating wise, well yeah it did at first but after i was at my lowest of 166 i fell off. i thought i could just eat 20carbs a day everyday and i would be thin. we boy was i wrong. i just cant eat that. that was killing me mentally and emotionally. well i dread the doctor because i gained so much, but i said enough is enough i am sick i don't care what she Say's.
i was so wrong to not go to the doctor. she gave me support. i believe that what i was missing.
support is the key to all weight loss and weight maintain. i just want to let everyone know if you feel lost and your weight is out of control you mite be miss the most importing thing SUPPORT.

to get back on track is one of the hardest things to do but you got to start somewhere, so if anymore need support i am here to help.

let take a step forward to improve our life again. 1 step out a time!

I know that when I first lost weight my support group of friends all lost at the same time and we suddenly all got busy with our lives and fell apart from the support and then when I started to gain weight the last thing I wanted to do was go to the Doc and admit failure... or go to my friends and admit failure and so I suffered alone and frustrated.  I personally have recently lost 36 lbs of the 65 I had gained and feel like a new woman again.  I commend you on realizing how important support is and searching it out.  If you want to read more of my story you can find it at www.healthy-wealthy-n-wise.com/blog

And on another note a few of those old friends have recently gotten together and realized we are all facing simialar demons..... don't turn away from support when you need it most!

Good Luck get in touch if I can help you in any way
