Topic: RE: Please Read! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!
My word, Woman! You have been pregnant forever it seems...how can you expect to lose weight? You are constantly nurishing babies!!
I know that you will get it under control...I have confidence that we ALL can. Well, at least I have the confidence now that I am back. I was worried about it for a while!
And...um...did I read correctly? Did you say before you get pregnant AGAIN!?! I can barely handle ONE! How do you handle a flock?!
In awe of you, as always...
Love and hugs,
Me

Hey Lady!
Yes! January 1st will be our re-committment date! I am supposed to see my surgeon at the end of January but, I have to tell you, unless I get my weight a bit more under control, I am not going! It truly is a waste of time, anyhow. I end up waiting more than an hour just to talk to him for 2 minutes. I will get my bloodwork done, though...I just don't want to see him (well, I want to see his yummy face but you know what I mean). Plus, my insurance changed and I don't think he takes it. Ah well.
It was SO great chatting with you the other night. I feel so inspired by it!!!
Have a great night!

Hey Nik!
Thanks so much for posting. I am so, so happy to hear how everyone is doing!!
I am not sure what you meant by anyone feeling bad about what you are writing. Whether you gained 5 lbs or 50, it all hurts and it all feels a bit like failure, right?
And...yes! I am right there with you. My son is an angel one day, son of satan the next. There is no rhyme or reason to it. And money issues? Phew...don't get me started...
I think my biggest issue right now is being a married "single" Mom. My hyper-ambitious husband (not a bad thing...especially in this economy) works about 80 hours a week. So taking care of the house, the high-maintenance dog and my Jekyll and Hyde son, in addition to working 50 hours, myself, in a stressful job and taking care of 99% of the household chores is taking its toll on me.
I guess that toll plus feeling like a WLS failure is what made me run back to this board. I am SO glad that you guys answered my plea! I am so grateful!
So here's to re-committing to a healthy lifestyle!!
Love and hugs and a very happy holiday!!

I am having Boy and Girl: Richard Scott and McKenna Victoria. Due: this might change because they are twins, but April 7th that's going full 40 wks which I doubt that...so I say Mid March.

Anna you are alot braver than me.....I don't want to disappoint my surgeon so I have not made an appointment. I should have seen him a few months ago.....I have had my blood work done so I know I am "OK". I even ignored my yearly pap smear! 
I do go to my monthly support meetings and have spoke about the regain there and with the RN co ordinator who is married to my surgeon!
Hugs and Miss you!,
Chris

Hello Everyone,
Jersey and Chris you know you are NOT alone at all. I feel like I've failed also. Things were
going great for 2 years then it seemed like all of sudden I just started gaining weight back.
My lowest was 144lbs...I'm back up to 173lbs. I feel totally disgusted with myself but I have noone to blame. I eat candy like crazy..almost like an obsession. I can't seem to stop myself from eating. I've gone from a size 6 pants back to a size 12. It SUCKS..
I want to get back on track..but my mind isn't cooporating. I do lurk all the time...I just didn't want to post that I'm a failure at this surgery... I have my appt. with my surgeon the end of the month
maybe he can shed some light on how to get back on track.
Hugs,
Anna

I don't have time for a long post, I am getting ready to go to my gfs baby shower ... but I do have a lot to say .....
I will just start with ... I am 50 - fifty - 50 pounds heavier than when I got pregnant with Faith. I am giving birth next Tuesday, taking 6 weeks to recover and establishing my milk supply and I will be back on the wagon so to speak.
I don't want any scolding, I would not give up my babies for the weight gain AT ALL! I just want to get some of the weight off before I get pregnant again.
Love ya all!
God Bless! Jen
