Hi- I am just over 3 years out, have recently regained over 20 lbs. (Long, cold, inactive winter). I am frustrated that my nice size 10s do not fit, and find I am wearing the same "stretchy pants" to work every day. To make this all a little more distressing, I have been in two tv ads for my surgeons practice, so everyone in my small city expects me to look exactly like I do in the commercials! Other facts: I am 57, married 36 years, have arthritis and degenerative spine so taking pain meds that tend to increase appetite and weight. Working hard now with a massage therapist to cut back on meds, getting out and walking or biking. My goal is daily, but even 3-4 times a week is better than nothing! Looking forward to being part of this group, and getting back to my local support group monthly as well. Jenny

Hello everyone!!

I'm new to the group. I had GB 11/7/11. My high weight was 275. In January of this year I weighed 130lb- it was actually a little too scrawny for my frame and my cheeks looked hallowed out and kind of sickly. My problem(?) is that I have started to steadily gain weight, which, at first, was great. After all, you can only steadily lose for so long anyway-right? Well, over the last two months I have gained 10 lbs, and I'm honestly starting to panic. I'm fairly careful with what I eat, and take my vitamins regularly. I'm worried that my pouch is stretching too much and I'm wondering if I went on a liquid/yogurt-only diet for 2 days if that would help shrink it back down. Anyone else had to deal with this?

Hi there everyone. Thank you so much for allowing me to join your group. I'm having a revision surgery completed on March 11th and soooooo need the support of people that understand what it means to be going through something like this! I'm one of those people that need a good shove before trying to take off on my own. I live in North Fort Worth by the Academy on North Tarrant and would love to join anyone in the area in a walk group, exercise group, etc. I'm a special education teacher for EMS isd and don't get home until about 4:30 on the weekdays! looking forward to attending the next meeting!

I had a  RNY Gastric Bypass on July 24, 2012 I have some questions my questions are:

1. I am wondering Who in this group has had a RNY Gastric Bypass Done I have a lot of Questions about Gastric Bypass and would like to talk to someone that has had a Gastric Bypass?
2. I am wondering if you can also be my email pen pal because I am looking for email pen pals that will accept short letters with questions like for example: Do you have any pets? Do you like music? What type of music do you like?

If you know the answers please email me at the emails below:
