Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself and let you know how happy I am to find this group! I had roux en y in 2004. At my peak, I was 290 lbs. At my thinnest, I was about 165. I put 20 lbs back on pretty quickly and pretty much settled there for years. Recently I crept up to 196 and I just refused to pass the 200 lb mark again. I never went through nutritional counseling and I'm only now educating myself about clean eating and truly changing habits. I've gone down to 183 lbs recently and would love to get to 160. It's amazing how being 20-30 lbs from goal can feel just as depressing as being twice that. But I thank you all for creating this group and I hope we can all help each other reach their goals!
