I had my gastric bypass surgery in 2006. I've lost 175 and kept it off but it has been hard work!! Looking for friends.

I also had my surgery in 2006. I'm finding it hard to keep on track. I have gained a little weight back. Still exercising 4-5 times a week. I went to the app store hoping to find something like weight watchers for bariatric pts but had no luck. I love the new me after the by pass but need some help getting back on the downward slope. Before and after surgery I did Water aerobics but had to quit 2 years later cuz I couldn't afford it any more now I use my wii and the gym at work to walk. But still not going down. Has to be what I am putting in my mouth. I'm a nervous eater and have the hardest time when at work. Not sure why my job isn't that stressful anymore. Anyone have any suggestions? So glad to have found this app!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
