Re: Floundering!

Hi Sandy,
It's Meghan :~) Thank you so much for posting. I am in the exact
same boat. I lost 50 pounds and have done nothing but gain back the
last 3-4 months. I am currently wavering around a 40 pound loss.
I'm drinking soda again, which is a major cause, but I don't seem to
ever feel satisfied. Some days I feel uncomfortable after two bites,
and somedays I can eat an entire plat, including the bread. I've
questioned if my pouch has stretched, but just don't know what to
do. I guess I should be going in for another fill, but hate that
dissapointed feeling I get from everyone else knowing I've gained. I
agree that the support group meetings were very helpful, until I had
another engagment on Monday nights. I wish they were still going on,
because nothing is better than having someone there with you. I
think the most helpful thing would be recipes of things proven easy
to eat, and high protein. My problem is the high protein foods are
the hardest for me. (That's why my entire family loves your pot
roast recipe. I can't thank you enough for that!) Any ideas from
the moderators? Do we know what happened to the meetings? Should we
be going back for fills?
Thanks for posting Sandy!!!

I remember Marsden saying something about diet pills, but you have a tendency to think after this surgery you ought to be "wonder woman". So I, too, am going...
