Hi All

When did this board start up? I was wondering where you all went. These are the faces I am used to. Iam 18 months out now and gained 20lbs. Anyone else in this boat?

Hi there ! Well this board went up almost two weeks ago ,its good to have you with us ! Kristy

WOW! 2 weeks ago? I am glad that someone, Jesi~ maybe? showed me this place. I can't deal with the constant "high" of the honeymoon period right now. My needs are so differnt than theres. I just hope some day I can get things back to normal in my own little world and then I can offer advice to newbies. Right now, I couldn't advice myself on how to walk to the bathroom. LOL Glad to be here. (((hugs)))

Yes it was me and glad to see ya ((((HUGS))) and you'll get lots of great advice here! Take Care Jesi

oh yeah, I'm 3 years tomorrow and this year I've gained 22 lb. It's definitely what I'm eating or rather, how often. I feel the need to eat eat eat. It doesn't even taste good anymore, I have serious head issues that I never dealt with and now every morning I say it will be different, some days are a little better htan others but I have never been able to get back to the way I behaved the first year. My surgeon passed away, and I feel that I definitely need to find somewhere to go. I will always need policing as I'm evidently too wimpy to control myself. I suck.......

"I will always need policing as I'm evidently too wimpy to control myself. I suck....." I can so relate to this statement. And I am glad that someone understands how I feel. I hope newbies understand that sometimes life doesn't change after wls. That sometimes the dieting, hating, fighting, and depression still goes on. We may be lighter but we have to fight to stay there. And some like me, are losing that fight.

"......many of us have been there done that and had to get a bigger pair of pants for it...." deb says it all right there...BTDT Joyce

hey ... many of us have been there done that and had to get a bigger pair of pants for it.... welcome to the boards here... glad to see u again!! deb

OMG.... I can't bear to buy bigger pants. Right now I am wearing a pair of stretch pants that I have been wearing for days because it is the only pair that are comfortable. I am so ashamed to admit this. Joanne

Joanne, you dont have anything to be ashamed of. I have bought bigger pants and if I have to buy bigger ones I will. BUT...I know that I will never get AS BIG as I was before WLS. We cant all be skinny minnies now can we? Besides my hubby likes some meat on these bones...LMAO Joyce
