just things I could never do Once I got to my goal weight I was amazed at things I could not do before my weight loss. Not having to look at a booth before I chose if I could sit in it or not. Put my purse next to me in a movie theater seat. Have not flown since I was 14, Flew twice in the...

thanks! I will check st. joes. Are there very many people that attend the ones you go to.

If you BING 5 day pouch test you will get tons of sites. I found one last year that gave receipes and a tracker. Just can't find it right now. Good luck.

yes there is definately a honeymoon period. The weight falls off, you work your program, exercise and it is fantastic. Then people start complimenting you, it feels good but you still see a fat girl in the mirror, except hanging skin too. The turkey waddle under your neck, don't even get me...

I am right there with you. Although I don't get dumpin syndrome, which is a curse. I think if I had the dumping with sweets it would curb my sweet tooth. I eating faster, drinking with my meals, trying to eat smaller portions and eating on smaller plates with baby forks. I am trying, not...

4 years out and not sure anymore. It has made me more healthy, but I am disgusted looking in the mirror. Before I was very much invovled with BBW activities, and I think that was really part of my identity. The sagging skin, the looking gaunt, I would say I am 50/50 on it.

Thank you so much Karenina. I am glad you putting into perspective for me.

Thank you for the support Claire. Do you have much more to lose. I am ready to go back to the 5 day pouch test. That got me back on track last year. I guess I am freaking out because my family reunion is at thanksgiving and the last time I went was when I was a year and a half out and I just...

this will be temendously helpful.. Thanks!!!

The hair loss is an emotional thing. I had very full, long hair. I had several surgeries after the RNY, breezed through that, so between the gastric bypass and anesthesia which makes you lose it also it was horrible. Don't be afraid. It will come back. I am 4 years out and mine is so thick...

thanks for the support I have the best of intentions, just need to get going. I have looked into a support group here in Tampa, but have not been able to find one. When I attended them in south Florida I was a newbie and so was everyone else, never anyone more than a couple months out. I am...

I recently moved to Tampa and am trying to find a support group and recommendations for therapist with experience in people who are more than three years post-op. Anyone know anything about Tampa

I am right there with you. I am looking for friends that have turned back to food after being so successful. I have gained 50 pounds and it terrifies me. I don't know how to add people as friends as I just joined today. If you know how, I am here.

Ann, I am 4 years out and started gaining weight the end of last year. I moved from where I had lived my entire life to a new city. Eating is comforting and I am having a hard time taking off the 50 pounds I put on. I feel for you with the sagging skin. It hangs from my arms, my belly...

I either go gung ho on the exercise or none at all. Wow! you did just have your surgery. Congrats! People told me to enjoy my honeymoon period with the surgery and I did. The weight will feel like you are losing fast, then plateau, then fast again. I had the surgery, went from a tight size...

eating too much! Yes I am eating way too much. The first 18 months was my honeymoon period. I ate so little, followed the plan, had no problems. My old self snuck in the backdoor and I started eating a little past full, then a little more, things I shouldn't like carbs. I just can not get...
