Hi Mandy_1982 just wondering how you’re doing? My name is Kelly, I am 4 years out and have found myself sitting here with a 30 pound weight gain. Not all at once, just slowly crept upwards. Now my clothes don’t fit and I’m on here trying to restart this all. I was searching for “what I eat in a day” info and came across…

I sure understand what you're going through, as I feel that is exactly where I am. No diagnosed eating disorder, but the emotional eating is back with a vengence. I would say the number one emotion is boredum. I get bored and then just snack mindlessly. I work in phone sales, so I am very seditary during the daytime. I…

I can so relate to all of this. I know what I did to get myself to the point of WLS, and yet here I am, only a year and a half out and I find myself slipping into old habits, eating carbs and sweets and wanting them, which is driving me crazy. And then feeling disgusted with myself, almost to the point of loathing! I…

Wow, you look amazing! We seem to have very similar weights. Hope I can say I've lost 80 by 6 months too!!

You are doing great and lookin awesome!! Love your little "mini me" in the backround! Feel proud!!

Glad you're back. I haven't been doing very well either and need to be logging every day! Our peers are great supporters, so you'll definitely get some great support here! You can do this...we can do this!

You look amazing!! Hope you feel as good!!

All of these are great ideas. I found myself at fast food places with the grandkids and was amazed that even they will make what you want. Mc Donalds-had a grilled chicken breast with nothing else. Taco Bell-chicken fresco taco, hold the shell! And don't forget, early on...KFC-mashed potatoes and gravy! I didn't eat all of…

Dzoerner, I have not had the complications that you have been dealing with. But a lady in my support group had the same issues. What I can tell you is that it will get better. I hate that Pam had to go through so much, but she is about 5 and 1/2 months post-op and is doing great. I think life started to get more normal for…

My husband had the sleeve over a year ago. When I started the process last September I had planned on the sleeve. But do to my GERD, or acid reflux disease, our surgeon recommended the RNY for me. I wanted the sleeve because it had been so successful for my husband and for the same reasons that Missie mentioned. I just had…

My doc wants me between 900-1000 and he recommends 70 grams of protein. Now that I am 4 months out, I find that as long as I make good food choices, I can regularly hit both.

Way To Go!! I went shopping for the first time, finally ran out of clothes and old clothes. My brain hasn't wrapped itself around the loss, but the sizes I tried on, amazed me!! I haven't been in these sizes in 15 years. I still have a ways to go, but I'm doing it! Keep up the great work!!!

And "Hi" Sara, this is a great group of folks! Congrats on your huge weight loss and "You can do it!!"

Wow, that's a long time ago. Well from your picture, you look awesome!! What an inspiration! I had RNY 4 months ago, and hope to remain as successful as you!!!

I, like some others, work out daily at my job. I am blessed to have a gym available to all employees. I only get 1 hour for my lunch, so by the time I get to the gym and work out for a half hour (20 minutes on elliptical, 10 minutes on strength training), I head back upstairs to my desk and have some lunch. And when I have…

Wow! You look great!! So inspiring!

You look GREAT!!!

Great Job!! You are doing awesome!!!!

Thanks everyone. I probably do eat too fast, and I know I over do it at times. Bought a food scale, so hoping that will make my measuring more accurate. Sure hope I get this figured out soon!

Wow you are doing great and that positive attitude will get you so far! Best of luck t you and to the ladies with upcoming surgery! Keep up the good work!!

I had been diagnosed with GERD, although I only had a few episodes of esophogeal attacks, no reflux or heartburn. My doc put me on prilosec daily, and because of the diagnosis, my WL surgeon recommended the bypass verses sleeve, which is what I wanted. Since my bypass, 8 weeks ago, I constantly have issues with vomiting up…

Heck, I just thought I couldn't see my own food diary. LOL! Well I for one will be changing this, as I look forward to tips and suggestions and for some reason haven't got any? HaHa!

It's great! And glad to be friends! Support is an important part of our journey. Much love and thanks to you too!

Great Job! You are inspiring!! You look wonderful!!!

I'm right here with you. Had my RNY on 1-19-15, the weight came off during the first couple of weeks quickly. Not so much now. I have been in a stall on the scale for almost 5 weeks. In that time, I have only managed to lose about 3 pounds. It is so very frustrating! My surgeon wants me to increase my calories to 8-9…

Mashed potatoes and gravy!

You look amazing!! Great Job Rob, you are an inspiration to us all!!!

Hi CEK, good to meet you! My name is Kelly and I am 6 weeks post op, gastric bypass. I didn't have too much trouble with the pre-op liquid diet, but post op has been very challenging. I find it hard to eat and drink enough. My weight loss has been stalled for the past 2-3 weeks, and my surgeon thinks it's because I'm not…

You look great Hildabean!! I too have been having some challenging weeks. I did manage a 1.4 pound loss this week, after 2 weeks of no loss. It's beyond frustrating. Hang in there and just keep going, it's all we can do! LOL

Great job! You are inspiring!
