Hi. I had gastric bypass in 2001 and lost 111 lbs. I gained about 8 lbs back but maintained my weight for years up until a couple of years ago and have gained about 15 lbs. I had bunion surgery in 2021 and 3 months later had to have another surgery on my foot because it didn’t heal. I have been in pain with my foot ever since. It swells and it’s hard to wear a shoe. Luckily I do in home daycare and am not on my feet all day. However, it’s hard to exercise and I am getting worse. They think I have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome because of my symptoms. I am getting slower and slower so I think that’s why I can’t loose weight. I also lost my husband last year to cancer so I have been under a lot of stress. I’m a stress eater. I figured I would try this app. I have to do something. I don’t want to gain all my weight back. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I’m just tired of feeling fat.

    Hi Lisa. I've sent you a friend request. UK lady mid 50s. I've lost 25 lbs so far, on my own, but using this app to track. Currently my health is (temporarily) slightly under par due to January flu and post viral fatigue but I do intend to get walking again in a few weeks as soon as I am fully recovered. Best wishes.
