I'm in the same boat, I had my surgery around the same time as you, though I only got down to 196 from 398, none of my stuff fit & I had to buy new clothes for the summer. I have so much loose skin on my belly, upper thighs, skin hanging off the sides if my knees & my arms, also turkey neck. A year n a half ago I started a new relationship, I'm embarrassed to get naked in front of him ( sorry if it's TMI) & since I moved I. with him I've gained 46lbs, & our sex life has come to a stand still. I've talked to him about it & he says it's not me he has a health issue that makes it uncomfortable, no to mention we both suffer from chronic pain, I want to believe him, but before I gained the extra weight it wasn't an issue, the more upset I get, the more I eat, just need some advice on jump starting my weight loss & need to know if anyone else has theses issues, we're not spring chickens, lol he's 60 & I just turned 55, any help would be appreciated Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I just turned 55 in June, I had my surgery done in January of 2013, & I had lost a total of 206 lbs, I've had some big life changes & I also have chronic RA, fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism & OA in my hands & knees..my knees are bone on bone & is very difficult to walk, between the stress, constant pain & lack of movement I've gained back 46lbs in a year & a half time..I'm do TERRIFIED that it's all going to come back on, I've been trying to walk some everyday, over the last 6 days I've managed a mile a day, I've cut out the junk, but one of my biggest problems is, that I sleep weird hours & never more than 3 hrs at a stretch do I eat in the middle of the night, UGH..I'm really scared. I also am 1 of those people will weigh themselves a few times a day, I know that's a big no no..if anyone has any ideas how to jump start my weight loss I'd appreciate it, thanks for listening Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app
