This week it'll be 5 years since my surgery. I was 265 before my RNY and my lowest weight was 185-190. I stepped on the scale yesterday and I'm 215.
The doctor/nurses croon when I had my surgery were never helpful and never helped after surgery with what I needed to do. supplements, food, nothing. They told me I could eat tums for my Calcium.
I have books, and the Internet, but for every thing I find "to" do, something else says not to do that or take that.
I badly need help. With everything. Is there a way to find someone to be like a sponsor or something? That I can talk to one on one to help me figure out what I need to do/take/eat/avoid and help answer questions if I have any? I'm going to look for support groups, but in the mean time... I don't want to wait to get back on track.
Are there any fb groups or anything? Anyone who can point me in the right direction?
I don't take any supplements, Vitamins, or anything. Any time I'd get what I thought I needed, I would be told it's the wrong thing. Always got the wrong snack /meal... Eventually, I got tired of wasting my money. Now I'm paying for it.
Please tell me not all is lost and I had the surgery for nothing... That I can turn things around... That it's not too late...
