Yes, girlie, this is where I hang out most of the time. I find I get more out of hanging out over here because these people are farther out and dealing with the same things as me. I quit going to my local support group because I got absolutely nothing out of them anymore due to them focusing more on pre-op and early post-op support. Our needs are just different and our demons are just different the farther out we get. So, we started a daily check in on here. We also have one another's phone numbers and email addresses in case we need a little more than a check-in on here. I used to call Christine and she would call me and we would get one another through the crisis. But I don't have that anymore with her really. So, I will gladly be your friend LOL. Please email your contact information as I no longer have a WLS buddy either. I have tons of normal friends as I call them, but they don't get the me who has food issues. Normal people with a normal relationship with food don't get us that have this crazy friendship dependence on food. Christine is loving Texas and seems really happy. She needed a new start and all but that new start meant leaving me and others completely behind. But, all I want is for her to be happy and if that means her completely breaking away from her old life and circle then I will support her in that. Part of loving people sometimes is being able to just let them go. I am happy that she is happy. I get an occasional email and text from her just saying hello and checking in. They are doing well. Please don't hesitate to call me or instant message me or anything. Support is what it takes to be successful with this WLS. Melissa

I am glad to know I am not alone. I had lost a total of 140 lbs, but have gained 10 back and can't seem to get rid of it. I too, have been snacking too much and eating even when I am not hungry (too many carbs also). I need support from some of you as well. It scares me to death to think about gaining alot of weight back, but some days I feel like I can't get enough to eat. (I guess it's the carbs making me crave). Is it OK to eat a low carb whole wheat wrap for a sandwich? I have really gotten into those lately.

from what melissa was saying if it's low carb then it's ok but i think we still need to keep that to a minimum really too. i like the wraps also! i'm going to try eating some tuna today on a bran-a-crisp cracker. it says to use those instead of bread for low carb dieters...we'll see how it is! we'll just all lean on each other and push through this together!!

Oh Steph, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I just woke up from a carb induced coma (not kidding) I wish I would of seen this post earlier. I have been adding and eating carbs as they sit so much "lighter" in my pouch. I like you have no problem with exercise and I am hoping to get a TT soon, soooo why do I O.D. on carbs? Thank goodness I haven't gained but I am well on my way if I keep this "carbing" up. I also like you have added SF items and they send me into a "coma" after I eat them I either get "dump" symptoms for hours or I fall asleep for an hour or so. So why would I eat them? Got me!!! I think we need to all check in in the mornings and evenings (at least I know it would help me to be accountable) and be each others cheerleaders.. We have to do this, we need to do this, we CAN do this!!!!!!!! I wish I would of seen this post before I ate what I did today, BUT tomorrow is another day right? I will clean out the kitchen throw out the bad and grocery shop for the good today, I will be ready for tomorrow!!!!! Thanks again Steph, Sharon

well we can make it a habit to either email each other each day or make a post on this board each day to cheer each other on to get back on track! we're moving in the right direction now!! i did out with the bad yesterday and today...i needed a little extra push to get some of the bad out but i did the rest today...so far so good today...we'll see how the rest of the day goes. one day at a time right?!? YEAH US!! LET'S GO!!!!

You are right Sharon. We can do this. We have to do this. We are from this day forward gonna make this board work for us. We need support and this is what this place is for. I have seen so many posts lately with people in this same boat and everybody posts encouragement and hey I am where you are, but it is day to day we need the encouragement. Not just one post to reach out for help that one time. So, let's get into the habit of checking in with each other and helping each other. I just emailed Steph with an update for me so far today. No simple carbs so far. Yeah, me!! Melissa We are not alone in this struggle. That is the one for sure similarity that connects us all. That self-destructive relationship with food that brought us here.

Girl, I know exactly what you mean. I am 2 1/2 yrs out and I have gained 20#. I am out of control too. I keep telling my self to quit eating carbs and excercise. It is so hard for me because anything I try to eat healthy like meat, I throw it up. It seems it just goes so far down and then back up. I have moved a long way away from bariatric surgeon and I am having a problem finding a bariatric surgeon that will follow up on someone elses surgery. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions anyone has will be helpful. I want to get on board with you girls and get it back together and lose the 20#s I have gained it scares me to death.
