PenPal in Northern Indiana
Hi - I've gained a few pounds back myself, and just can't get back on track. Would be glad to talk with you. Think it was easier when I "had" to eat less........not much makes me sick anymore. Dreading my 18 month check in a couple weeks. Weight about the same as I did at my 12 month check. Would still like to lose 20 more lbs though.
Hi Deb,
so glad you wrote! yes I had my 2 year check (end of April) and the Doc wasn't happy with me, I felt chastised for gaining, I think alot of mine is stress related but, I know this is a tool that God gave me and I need to be good to it. I so agree with the "had" to eat less. I still get sick if I eat too much or dairy products don't agree with me but everything else goes down pretty well. I still would like to lose around 30 pounds at least 20 for sure. where did you have surgery at? I see your from Fort Wayne? did you go to Lutheran? I just don't want to go back to stress eating , I'm really afraid I'm heading there. I need to get busy with exercise also. hope you have a great night.

I had my RNY at St. Vincents in Carmel. So did my daughter 6 months before me. And her husband is having on June 10 (a couple weeks). Lutheran wasn't a Center of Excellence at that time, and I wasn't comfortable having it done at Lutheran. My daughter did it first, and her insurance wouldn't cover Lutheran .... so I saw how great St. V was, so used her same doctor. Wasn't real convenient all the trips to Indy, but well worth it.
I do try to do some type of exercise 5 days a week....I go to exercise class twice a week, and either walk or go to gym the other days. But the fact is I'm just eating too much. More snacking, and all totally mental...feel I'm getting back in my old habits.
Do you go to the support group meetings? We go to our monthly meetings, and I think that helps. I did the OptiFast at Lutheran about 5 years ago, and gained most of what I lost back. So I knew I needed to do something more permanent, and I had done every diet program there is and always gained it back.
hope you have a good week......warm dry weather hopefully in our forecast.
