Anyone 9 years out???

hello, I used this site for the first several years after surgery and it was such a great help to me, talking to others asking questions , recipes and just awesome support. I am back on ready to complete my journey by getting back on track and losing my last 50-60 pounds. I did gain some and now want to complete my journey. I have questions for people out as far as I am. I went to my anniversary date forum and no one is posting there last post was 2013, Anyone have a forum for people almost 10 years out. Just looking for support thanks Kelpower

I think there's a group called "Back-On-Track-Together", but I'm not sure how to get into it.

I'd like to suggest refocusing on your intake.  Do a journal of EVERYTHING you eat, every day, for a week or so.  You'll probably find the problem of your intake having expanded to include white carbs (I know it did for me).  Return to your basics:  Protein first, fresh veggies, a bit of fruit, and some good fats (EVOO, cashews, avocado).  You need fats to keep your bowels moving.  And don't forget to stay hydrated!

You might also want to include some fun exercise in your life, as well.  Dance like a fool in front of the TV, do some yoga, ride a bike, go to the gym.  

I'm 10 years out, myself.         

 

Ask away...9+ years out.  We had so little information back then...We were searching everywhere to find out what was working (secrets that would help).  Brian

This may help...I posted it last year I think...

Im 9 yrs as of 11/15/06 with the RNY. Overall have done well and now I would like to loose 20 lbs. I have kept it off and overall have not had many issues. This year did have issue with Low Blood sugar which Dr. stated that is common with RNY about the 6 to 8 yr mark.

 

11.5 years here.  There are lots of we old timers around

I am almost 8 years out. I never made it to goal. I got to 139 and thought I looked too thin. I was supposed to be at 130. I have since put on weight (I now weigh 172.2, which is down from 181). I have gone back to the basics and come here for support. As a result, I have lost weight. I am holding myself accountable again. I am here to help if you need it. I definitely need the support!!

I am 10 years out.  Happy to help any way I can.  Have pretty much maintained my wt although I lost 100 lb.s, I would like to have lost another 15-20.  But, I am very happy with the current me.  I have had a couple of little glitches.  I had terrible GERD when I was heavy.  Now I know that our pouches do not produce acid but I have had several nocturnal episodes of aspirating BILE!!!  Anyone else had this?

 

I will be 10 yrs out this coming May 1st.

 

And I am in the same boat with you.  I am at 265 and need to get 50 lbs off.  I started at 390 in 5/06 and went very quickly to 211 at my lowest.  For 9 years I managed to stay anywhere from 240 to 265.

 

Keep it up Kelpower.
