Your post sounds just like me, I too had the bypass about 6 yrs ago and have gained 50 lbs. I am struggling to drop these extra lbs and depressing. I have been going to the pool every morning before regular classes and walking and exercising for at least an hour, but have lost very little of the weight, so I know I must cut down food intake to be sucessful. Just seem to be stuck in a rut. I like in Overland Park, Kansas and I would like to be your friend and also BariBlue on Facebook.View Thread
