Had bypass in 2012... Everything went wonderful. This last year everything crashed, I've been binge eating and put on 20lbs Panic attacks happened and now I feel as if I lost some control of things. How do get control? Anyone recommend a medication for panic attacks that we had bypass can handle? I have to lose this extra weight

Thank you every one! I have struggled with this for years, including the horrible snacking... Prayers please. I'm going to find a solution.

I'm on day 5 of eating like I don't have a pouch.. I've been getting sick from over eating and I'm up 6 lbs.. What is wrong with me? Why can't I control this head hunger.. I have to control this!! Help!!

You are in my prayers. It is difficult.. But we have to keep reminding ourselves, we've come to far to give up now.. Keep trying!!!

Today, November 1st is the one year anniversary of my bypass surgery. I feel extremely blessed to have been even approved. I'm so thankful for my difficult journey and even when I feel discouraged or fall off the rules bus... I remind myself of this opportunity God gave to me and how I must learn to take full advantage of the tools I've been given. It's only by the grace of God that I have lost the weight and remained complication free. Praise you Father!! .. And thank you! I will succeed on this journey! Pre- surgery weight: 247 Post- weight: 146

Thank you!!!! Good luck to you!

Me too.. I'm almost a year out and I can do 1500 calories and be fine..

I am almost one year post op (November 1st) and I'm down 102lbs.. However since June I've had no control over my head hunger and feel I may have stretched my pouch. Maybe it's normal, maybe it's not.. But I can eat 2 scrambles eggs and a whole grilled cheese for a meal and still feel fine.. That never used to be. I've lost the sensation of knowing when I'm full. I'm truly at wits end and will see my surgeon next Monday.. I've come so far, but am I just destined to give up and start all over again?? I can even imagine gaining that weight back. I've gained 4lbs and I'm a bit stressed. With malabsorption wearing off.. I wonder if I did the right thing with my weaken will power..

I'm starting the 5 day pouch test.. Because I fell off the wagon pretty hard since June. Has Anyone out there tried this? What do you think?

Today is a new day!!! I cheated a little too.. Had a slice of pizza! I was mad at myself as well.. But I still stayed under calories and I'll follow it today for sure! Good luck to you!

Hahaha!! I know the feeling!! I had to skip my routine of lunch at work, but I am dedicated! Say one almost down, Thank God for decaf coffee... I must say, my body is definitely cleansing!

Just got a new one! Looking to add some buddies.. Anyone know how to add? Send me your emails please! I'd love the company!!

It's a device that you keep attached to you.. I.E. Wrist band or clip- that measures steps, food intake, calories burned and sleep pattern. It's wonderful! It can be synced with MFP and is pretty accurate. Great tool!

Ps- anyone know what the flower icon means?

Ok, just added you guys! I'm so excited to have buddies for encouragement!! Others feel free to add me.. Dawnvagnier@yahoo.com

I have the One... But I can't figure out how to add anyone?! How do you do it?

I've been horrible on my diet since June.. Sweets, carbs .. You name it.. My ouch had hated me and yet I don't learn. I gained 3 pounds and have tried to find a support group in Pittsburgh area. My question is, should I be talking to my doctor about pouch stretching or testing to are if it's happened? I can eat more now that I'm 10 months out.. I had 3 pieces of small pizza (home made) and a half hour later had a sugar- free cupcake.. So I'm failing somewhere.. I'm worried my pouch is damaged or possible gone. Should I contact my surgeon?

Any one know when the malabsorption wears off? I'm 10 mos post op. lost 109lbs.. Stalled for 2 months at 8 mos post op, and now I've gained 7lbs!!! I admit my snacking hasn't been good.: but I was thinking I had a chance with the malabsorption..

I'm diagnosing myself as a grazer..my snacking is out of control.. I'm embarrassed to even have my diary open on mfp. Anybody have sever snacking issues after surgery.. If so, how did you beat it?? Because the distracting myself with a walk etc.. Isn't working.

Started drinking decaf coffee.. Is this ok? Anyone else drink this daily?
