Precious17. I could use a buddy too. I'm 1 1/2 yr out from a RNY surgery. I had an accident at about 10 months post op and I had to stop all exercise. I wasn't eating the same because I wasn't cooking for myself. Then I got depressed and started making poor choices. So instead of continuing my weight loss I gained 20 lbs. so then I needed to loose 40 pounds to reach goal.

Three weeks ago I finally got control of my food and I've done great loosing 8 pounds. I'm proud of myself but I am having problems with snacking when I'm not hungry and very little exercise. I'd love to support you and I need support around snacking and getting back to an exercise program if you'd like.

Rosymsp. How did you get control of your food? I am an emotional eater. Congrats on the 8 lb lost! That's great!! [emoji1373] just like any other addiction need support, I feel it's just as important to have support on this weight loss/maintenance journey. It is a struggle everyday to make the right choices. Let's set a goal & beat this thing!! I won't give up! I may fall, but I will get back up... Remember to get that Water in. I drink at least three bottles a day. [emoji1431][emoji1431]

I managed to get back on tract because I refused to buy new clothes so I was really uncomfortable wearing summer clothes that were 20lbs too small. I made up my mind I had to do it because I worked too hard to mess it up now and besides, I couldn't breathe in those tight shorts. I planned out back to basics low carb meals for the first 2weeks and got rid of stuff I couldn't eat. Writing down what I ate helps too. I'm doing well so far, because I'm having success and it feels good

I need motivation to get back to exercise though. I still haven't made it to the gym though. I wish I could motivate myself to get there.

Do you have a treadmill?

Hey there, sounds like we're in the same boat. I too, am 52. I'm 13+ years out and have all of a sudden, due to stress and lack motivation, regained 24 lbs. I as well. In need of a good support person/persons.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
