Sharron,
In todays 6/26/03 postings in the Q & A section, someone mentioned your page so I went and read your diary. I can understand your fusteration and yet admire your courage and determination to make goal. Just because people talk on here and say they play by the rules and they lose the weight dosnt always mean they actually played by the "rules". I mean the whole reason we had this surgery was so we didnt have to diet and what do we do after wls, we are still dieting technically. I feel you are a success regardless of how much weight you lose or weather you make it to goal. Your a success because you know whats right and whats wrong and you are willing to fight the good fight and go on and make the best of what you have with or without the use of your tool, you are continuing to lose weight and gain courage and strength. GOod luck to you Deanna Wise in Las Vegas, NV
