That does sound exactly like what I'm going through! Except that I have a lot more to lose. I gained a lot back after my sleeve. I know what you mean about being scared. I don't have another appt with the surgeon until the end of April. They were going to switch it to a video appt because I'm in another state, but I think I'm going to ask them to keep it as a regular appt and make the drive up there for it. Of course, that would be 20+ hours round trip to have him more than likely tell me the same things I've heard on this site, so not sure yet. I hope you break your stall and get those last 9 pounds off! I'll be watching for your posts and cheering you on:) P.S. Isn't it at least a whole lot better to not have the reflux, etc.? I feel like a new person in that respect!

Thank you! It gives me hope that it will work. I've been reading the articles that OAGBPal sent a link to that is also very interesting. Definitely feeling better about it than I was just a few days ago.

Thank you!!! It really does help! And thanks for the link. I'm going to read every article!

I would guess that a whole lot of people on this forum have tried Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, etc. I have. If I could just stick to the program I never would have needed surgery. This was supposed to be the tool that was going to make me stick to it. Now I feel like I don't have that. I'm so sad that I went through this invasive surgery for what seems like no good reason. I mean literally crying, sad. I'm losing weight now, but I'm worried about 5 years from now, or 10 years from now...

Thank you! You're the only person that I've heard from that gets it! I have 3 friends that have had gastric bypass and don't understand how I could possibly not have a bit of restriction. Have you been losing the weight this time around without the restriction? I'm losing, but only because I haven't had a carb in 7 weeks! I'm worried about long term...

I haven't had anything that's not on my list, so I am following my program. But thanks for the support. After reading your insensitive comment and having a good cry I've decided I'm done here. I was looking for support, not admonishment.

Hello all! I had gastric sleeve back in 2013. The weight slowly started to creep back on. Then, due to a number of circumstances, it ALL came back. For years I was having terrible heartburn/reflux, so my insurance paid for me to have revision surgery to gastric bypass. I had the surgery 6 weeks ago (Jan 11th). I have never felt any restriction at all! At first I though it was because it was all liquids or mushy food. But for the last 2 weeks I've been eating chicken, crab meat, hamburgers (no bun), etc., and have not had anything that didn't agree with me. I can eat way more than what my list calls for, too. I only stop because I'm not hungry, or I'm tired of chewing. I'm so sad about this. I'm worried that I'm going to fail again. I know I have to be accountable to myself, but if I was good at that I wouldn't have needed surgery... I just had such high hopes that with this tool I would get it right this time.

169.8 today. Up again:( I'm getting soooooooo depressed! I do pretty well through the week but not so good on the weekends. It still doesn't seem like I should be gaining like this. I do have a bad thyroid but think my meds are at a good point. Guess I need to get in to the doctor's to be sure.

168.2 today. Only down 1 lb but was snowed in most of the weekend and was afraid I gained so I'm happy!

I've gained 2 lbs just since last Monday when the Valentine's Day challenge ended! I am so frustrated, but am going to try this again...starting weight is 169.2. My goal for this challenge is 160. Thanks Susan!

167.2. So instead of losing I've gained 1.2 lbs over the 7 weeks. I have to keep trying, so I'll join the next challenge and try a different approach! Thanks Susan!

167.2 today. I'm so depressed! I'm gaining instead of losing:-(

165.8 this morning. Not much but finally going in the right direction!

I was 166.4 again yesterday morning. I understand if it's too late to log it, just that the holiday threw me off and I worked overtime today. Just finally got a chance to log on. Thanks!

166.4 today. I'm up .4 lbs. Disappointed in myself, but hoping it motivates me to do better this week!
