Nope.  You are not the only one.  I live in Myrtle Creek, OR.  I had my surgery on 3/12/13 with Dr. Tersigni in Coos Bay.  I would love to hear how everyone is progressing!

I work a full time job and get off at 4:30pm it would be hard to drive to the meeting and get there in time. Maybe when I come to Eugene to visit family we could meet for lunch.

Topic: RE: guess no one in oregon gets wls

It is such a small world. I grew up in Jasper, OR. I now live just above Salem, OR. I had VSG on 12/13/12 and I have lost 70lbs so far. I am thrilled to be healthier. I do not blog much on these WLS sites but do come on everyday to see what everyone is talking about. I do believe everyone's journey is different in a lot of ways but have similar cir****tances. I won't lie it has been a hard road for the first 4 months but it is not getting better. If you are looking for support chat me up I am also on the gastric sleeve website too.

Topic: RE: Help!!! Five years post and need to get on the right track

if you had the surgery in 05 you are 8 years IN

YOU HAVE TO GET BACK TO BASICS

start weighting your food and tracking everything , stop eating crap,drink your 65 oz of water

 pretend you just had the surgery

 Im guessing you had the rny , so you will have less malabsorbtion of calories that just means you have to be more careful what you put in your mouth  now , you still have a small pouch 

 start using myfitnesspal.com  and get to the gym

 there is no secret , there is no magic  just get back on your plan

 maybe a therapist might help
