Would like a WL Buddy - Starting Today

Hi,
I have not been here for a long time, but have decided to take back control of my eating.

I am starting the 5-day pouch test tomorrow and will begin the job of losing the 40 lbs that I have put on since my WLS in January 2006. I would love to have a fellow member join me so that we can become each others support system.

I think having someone facing the same issues - at the same time-would be a great help. Contact me if you feel the same way.
Thanks,
Lori

This is the right place.  Everyone here is either at the same place or has been there.  Everyone is very supportative. 
I've done the 5 day pt also.  It did help my pouch feel better.  What I find that helps me most is to plan, and have the right foods on hand then record what I'm eating.   Good luck and I'll see you tomorrow!

Hi Lori!

Feel free to email me anytime.  [email protected]  I'm new to BOTT, but from what I can tell, this is a GREAT group and they are all very supportive.  You can do this and I know you will get the help and encouragment you need.  I'd be willing to do the 5 day pouch test with you.  I just did it last week, but I was recovering from getting my wisdom teeth pulled and so I wasn't totally 'there'.  Contact me if you would like and keep posting here.. I know you can do it!

Hi Lori,

I also am trying to relose weight I have gained over the past 6 months.  I lived in Altoona for a while around 4 years ago and developed some great friendships there that I still have today.    I would be happy to be your weight loss pal.  Good luck in your journey.

Hi,

Good Luck!  I did the 5 day pouch test last Monday-Friday and lost 7 pounds.  It realy does put you in the mind set that you were in right after surgery!  I have done realy great even after my 5 days.  I have made healthy choices with my meals and snacks.  You can do it just take it one hour at a time!!!!

Hi,
This is my first time on this site. I had lap  band in 2008 and have never finished losing the weight I intended. I had lost 92lbs and then gained 10 back. I don't seem to be able to get back on track. I am looking for someone to share issues with and get back on track with.
