Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time since I have been on this site. I guess I have been kind of in a funk about my weight loss and trying to find support groups is like pulling teeth with pliers!

Anywho, I am currently five years out on my surgery and I have to admit that I have not done great at all. I started out at 380 pounds and my lowest weight lost was at 260 lbs. I have gained 40 pounds of that back, which makes me at a whooping 300 pounds. At this point, my Endocrinologist is suggesting that I take the additional weight off with having the "Sleeve" procedure. Anyone have any comments about this? If so, I would love to hear your comments and suggestions.

Also, I would like to know of any great products for protein, iron, calcium, ect. that I can afford! These vitamins are beginning to cost as much as my regular medicines! What in the world! I have to admit that I have no energy, I am costly tired and sleepy, and extremely cold. I know that I have to do something, but right now, this is my confession post!

I confess that I have a strong love for chocolate, and chips, potatoes in general! I confess that I am not a person to exercise at all. I confess that I am totally insane for thinking that I will have a different result when I continuously do things the same way all the time.

If there is a real support in the Raleigh area, that is active and is serious about supporting post-op patients, please let me know. I am going to make it my business to come to this site often just to get some support of start my own support group. 

 

Take care everyone, 

Today I look back on when I had my surgery, and where I am now. I am very grateful, however I am not near my goal. I had surgery on 6-9-2008. I went in weighing 370 pounds, my highest weight was 480. Now I am at a stand still. I am looking for a support group in the Raleigh area. Anyone have any suggestions. I seem to be stuck at this 280 mark. I am getting frustrated. Looking for friends in the Raleigh area for support.

I haven't post anything in a while. I made it through the Holidays. I am still looking for a group that meets in the Raleigh area. Any suggestions? If any of you have a facebook page, please leave me a message and maybe we can get together there.

I am at 257 right now. So I lost 30 pounds, but I am still looking for walking partners, workout partners, hangout buddies, something.

At a stand still. My energy level is down and I can't seem to get motivated anymore. Today I cleaned my daughters bedroom from top to bottom. After that, I am drained and cold. I have lost 11 pounds and have 89 more to go. It seems that I don't have the energy to do anything. I am still looking for a support group in the Raleigh area that actually meets! I need all of your support. I started out at 380 and down to 287 right now. I want to reach my goal to see less than 200 pounds.

It has been a long time since I have logged  into OH.  I wanted to check in and say that after one year, I am 103 pounds lighter. I am looking for more friends and more support. It seems that I am at a stand still with the weight I am at now. I welcome friends from all over. I really need advice and encouraging words.

Please feel free to leave me a message or email me at [email protected] If there are any support groups in the Raleigh area that is currently meeting, please email me. 

My weight started at 380 lbs and I am down to 277 lbs. I have 78 more to lose before I reach my goal.
