Hello All
My name is Lori & I had an Open RNY 8yrs ago. I started @ 289lbs and did lose 140lbs within 2yrs. My body eventually settled @ a happy 165lbs.

I then got very happily married in 2005, had our first child in 2006 and our second 13mo's later in 2007.

So, here I sit @ about 204lbs after my second child. (She is 9mo's now.) I am feeling very down about my current weight and health/excersice situation. My self esteem is very low again. I know I am being very hard on myself since having had 2 babies in two years and barely enough time to even think about excercising. Life with two kids under 2 is hard and has me emotional eating again. Eating out of anger really. Tired beyond words and deep in a non energy rut.

I feel a little bit like I am 'disrespecting' my WLS. I am sure the tools of the surgery are still working for me but I am 8yrs out and alot of it is up to me again. And that is where I usually feel down 9yrs ago.

I have joined CK today hoping to find some nutritional guidance, some excercise motivators and maybe some support.

Glad to meet ya all and hope to be able to lend support eventually too.
