Hello Deb! Welcome back! I don't check here as often as I should, my apologies for the slow response, just read your note this morning.
Sorry to hear you gained back weight, but I hear ya. I go up and down with the same 20 lbs, it can be a struggle. I know what it is for me so I've cut out alcohol and 'white food' (sugar, bread, potatoes, rice, pasta). Also, I'm addicted to Mentos gum, which is ultra-sweet to handle my sweets cravings. I wish you strength and luck in 'the good fight'. Have you considered checking in with the surgeon about your weight gain? Has it been 11 years? Time really flies.
I moved to Florida in 2009, when I divorced Kev. I remarried in 2010 (Rod), and we're doing well, both working. One of my twins is living with us since Sept. 2011, he graduated college and is working here, but not at a career job. Please drop me a line at afterwls@aol.com.
Best,
Vic

Hi Gypzymoon
You have basically took the words right out of mouth literally. I had RNY Surgery in 05 and weighted 324lbs at the time. The lowest I've gotten down to was 170 and now have climbed back up to 200lbs. My size 14 clothes re starting not to fit now and I'm out of breathe when I run now. Ugh!
I keep talking about going bak to my protein shakes, but keep putting it off cause something else sounds more appetizing.
So, I'm all ears too.
