Hi everyone, I have recently gained 25 lbs since my surgery three years ago by eating crap when stressed. I too love Brene Brown. She is so awesome. Also, I have been in therapy since surgery. I started a new position at work a year ago and that was it. Stress from it got the best of me. Now I'm back on track thanks to my surgeons office. The LVN and PA are life savers. I have been going for two weeks. The first week I stayed the same the second week lost four pounds. Only 21 pounds more.

I agree with you. We need to stop shaming people because this is a very personal journey for each of us.

You look wonderful. Keep it up!

I have had therapy six months prior to surgery and I will be two years out in January. It is a mind issue for me and continues to be. I am 39 and I went back to school for my bachelors and I received a promotion in my career. I never thought that I ate because of stress boy was I wrong. So I say continue your journey whichever way you think will help.

Your words of inspiration help me to realize just how important working out is. Do you ever get dizzy when exercising?

Great job and congrats!

I am an addict of food in general! I have lost a total of 140lbs and my surgery was performed January 2013. I continue to struggle with this everyday. I was really good for a year and a half and started eating some not so good food every now and then. I have had dumping but it takes a lot to get there. Remember here is where we get support and I continue to go to therapy and have since before the surgery. It is key to my success!

I am going on 2 years post op the only change was chicken. I cannot eat chicken at all no matter how it's cooked. I started 306 and am 164. 140 lbs down.

I had my rny in January 2013. I have lost 140 lbs and it truly has saved my life but without therapy and a lot of hard work anything is possible.

pre surgery weight 306. And now 165. Feeling wonderful and loving myself again! A word of advice: keep getting support and go to therapy or support groups. It will help from gaining the weight again.

Also get all the protein in that your doctor recommended. It will help you in your weight loss journey.

I am 38 almost 39 had surgery on January 29, 2013 and I started at 305 and now 165. I have lost 140 lbs and loving it.

I'm so sorry that it has been a struggle for you. I would go get a second opinion. For sure.

Hello what's going on? Any luck on losing some weight

I am having some issues trying to get in shape. I have lost 135 lbs and have hardly worked out and now need some motivation or encouragement. You would think I would of gained some confidence but I have not. Help!

Thank you for posting it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one.

I had dr. Krahn do my surgery and dr. Chinn did my pre and post op. Love them it will be a year on 1/29.

Just remember take one pound at a time. It will come off eventually. I have lost 135 lbs and I have taken it one day at a time. Good luck.

It does get better.

Thank you. It's definitely been a challenge.

Hi I have lost 130 lbs since jan 29th 2013. I was a size 24 ad now a 14. So weird not to go into the women's sizes.

I am 38 and had surgery on Jan 29th I have lost 130 lbs. so far. Everyday is a new day and everyday is a struggle to do well. It's so much more manageable.

Me too chicken is something I can't handle and it's almost been a year. I used to love chicken now it makes me sick.

Hello everyone It is official as of Thursday I have hit the goal of my surgeons to get to 175. I am currently at 174. I haven't been here since high school. Attached is from left to right left in pink was two years ago in turquoise was last year and in red is this year at Christmas time.

Ok so I am stuck like glue to my weight but in its defense I have not exercised in a while. I am having sweet cravings and unfortunately I don't dump. I just need to start to move more.
