Been away for 4 years...

I'm a 2003 also! I find that coming back to OH always helps.

I am back after a long absence too.   I had my open rny in February 2002.   I have been on and off the boards over the years.   I have some regain too.   I am hoping to make it stop.  I am ok where I am...I just don't want it to go any further

Welcome!  I'm 2003 too, am struggling with regain, and come here for information and support.  Check in every day, ask questions, post struggles.  You'll get answers and support here.  Betsy

Hi, I didn' t mean to not welcome you back to the WLS board. SO WELCOME!!!! I come in and check in on other WLS friends nightly...just checkin and seeing how everyone is doing. As I said I had surg in 2003 I lost 176 lbs and have regained 13lbs...I am trying not to gain any more but I would like to loose at least 10lbs. We had 5 in our family who had WLS all but one has reached goal and is doing well. My one sister has lost 100lbs but is gaining hers back slowly. As I said I do meet in Hollywood Fl. every 3rd Thursday of the month for a support group. If you can make it I hope  to see you there. I wrote the addy on the earlier post..it is from 7 to 9 pm. Best of luck to you. Cha

Welcome back! I'm 4 years out myself. It seems to be the norm to regain some weight back being this far out. I went down to 148lbs but seem to bounce between 151-154. am i happy? no! Content? sure. For me its a daily struggle and I do try to weight every two weeks or so to make sure i'm in that range. I did the 5 day pouch test and went back to 148 for a few days. But now i'm back to myself. Its nice to come here and realize that we aren't alone in this struggle.

Thanks everyone!  I am trying to work out every day for at least 30 minutes and eating very healthy.  I am, down 2 lbs in 2 days- yippee!  I'll take what I can get with weightloss!  I am curious about the stomaphyx too-sounds very interesting... Anyway- you guys are so sweet to welcome me back- see you on the boards!
