 Hey!!!

It has been a long while since I've posted on here.

I am now weighing 252lbs and I am loving it. Pictures coming soon!

Welcome! I know we have slower metabolism after we reach 18 months out and have a higher chance on regain..have to be very careful..are you exercising? and maybe journal your foods for a week or 2 and see what the culprit is if you do not already know.. Look at how far you have come..do not let being comfortable settle in and loose track..think of where you was..get out pictures and look..do you want to go back there..NO.. I do not think so.. hard work brought you far.. your worth this new life and your worth getting rid of bad habits..do not loose focus.. you did not get to this point to drop of the wagon,...get back on and say IM WORTH IT! .. you can do it!!!!!

Congrats! this is a very dedicated life and well worth it. I been a scale addict since before I had my surgery.. and after it was worse wtih getting on not only daily, but everytime I went to the bathroom.. lol.. Then my St bernard laid on my scale and broke it.. bought another.. I buy the digital glass ones.. love them..well she would sleep on them.. broke another one.. so it eased my habit if the scale..now I have not weighed my self daily... scale broke again..haha.. they cost ya know..and I go crazy not knowing .. I believe it encouraged me as I kept seeing the numbers drop..BUT..when I stalled it created a big stress..and the stalls WILL happen.. our bodys are catching up and are like..hey.. I need a break.. so do not get too upset.. I got frantic.. I drove many ppl nuts..but..thanks to ppl here and some very dear friends they kept my head straight..and do not feel hesitant to get on here and let your stress out..or panic..we are here for that.. I was on here alot in the begining..but this past year I had alot of personal issues with my son and my health non WLS related and just did not get on..or got on and read posts but nothing from me.. ..anyways.. back to you.. do not let anyone tell you your doing something bad by getting on the scale if it makes you happy.. I mean..we all go through obsessions and it will die out eventually..well for many I know it has... go get on that scale and be happy..lol.. your not hurting anything..maybe driving your family nuts but your going through a big change and this is a journey where we love our scales! best of luck in everything :)

I am new to this group.  I had my RNY 14 Jan 2009.  I got down to my goal size and have stayed there for the past two years.  Starting in Jun 11 I had to move from GA to NC and it has been a very stressful time.  I have regained about 8 lbs and cannot seem to get it back off.  I do plenty of exercise, guess I am just eating too much.  I am working on it because I do not want all the work I have done to go down the drain.  Just need some encouragement to keep going.

I would suggest checking with your Dr.. I did alot of research on which surgery I was going to have..and originally was lapband.. I changed my mind of course..but from I do know..and seen.. the band could have slipped? or needs refilled.. and maybe try going back to a basic menu when first had the surgery? to kick start some weight loss.. and are you measuring inches not just numbers on scale? loose inches but gain muscle weight..which is not bad.. and the last thing..could be.. you might need to revise to another surgery if this is not working for you.. but looks like you done alot so far.. good job! I hope you find a solution :)
