AMAZING SIMULARITIES

Hi all you wonderful amos folks, I do way to much lurking but have to post today. I noticed so many of us have the same feelings at this stage of post op wls. Every post I read touches on a emotional or physical symptom I had or have. Thanks to all for sharing, you put things in words that for some reason I cannot. Mary, I loved the comment about how people comment on the "face loss" that drives me nuts also Now don't get me wrong, I sure don't want to see anyone uncomfortable but it helps to see that i'm not alone with these weird emotions and that others are finding ways to get thru it. Lisa Lap rny-2-26-04 start weight 307 5'8" today 253. Loss 53lbs YeHa!!!! Goal 160

Lisa, Everytime I see a post that mirrors my feelings I'm always astounded that I'm not the only one who feels that way. All this time I've considered myself unique. I spent many years feeling that no one could understand how I feel only to find they understood me better than I did myself! Congratulations on your great loss. Keep posting! Windy Pat

Thanks for the response Pat. Your profile mirrors many of my thoughts. You write straight from the heart. I need to update mine. This surgery has really shown me how much food played a role in how I handled "life" issues. Food was such a big part of life. Social, spiritual, professional and family functions all seem to involve eating. Do I need a life or what!!! I guess I'm just having a hard time finding other things to focus on and it was a relief to know I'm not the only one struggling with the process. I love the fact I'm losing weight and will be forever greatful. I guess I didn't anticipate the emotional roller coasters, (pretty much hid everything before) so this is a new journey for me. I wish you all the best in yours. God Bless. Lisa

Lisa, I agree there are many similarities which is one of the reasons I really like this message board. Definitely a common bond. Congratulations on your weight loss too. Mary
