I disagree! Yes you can gain weight, is it typical? Only if you accept it!

Melanie kept the weight off for years, she was also active in support groups and walked everyday, that stopped.

I had the surgery as well, and have kept my weight off. Does 5-10 pounds creep up now and again Absolutley! Do I take a self analysis, look if I have been snacking or eating bad foods Yes I do. Does this self inventory usually show that I have been making poor choices? You betcha! Its about being accountable to self! I never accept keeping those extra pounds, I make changes and then drop em like a bad habit! so can you!!

Jeni, at one time you were walking and exercising regularily, are you still doing that? I know the dynamic of support group as changed, and urge you to go to Dr C's groups in Poway or at Sharp Memorial andor join OA. You need support. Are you having relationship woes that are leading to emotional eating?

You can a will lose those damn pounds if you want to. You have the power, not some damn surgery! You have a tool that allows you to eat lesss! Not a tool that allowed you to get this to allow you to get overweight. Thats bullshit, and I will not allow nor enable you to make excuses! I never have and I never will.

Make a plan! Food plan and menu!
Get back to walking and drinking 80, yes 80 ozs f water a day! Waterload before meals!

Do these, you will see results! I want results from you Jen, not excuses! Go take the world and your diet by the horns and make a change! You go girl!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
