Awwww. You're sweet to miss me! I'm here. I just can't post as frequently as I'd like. Julie

I'm here just not on as much the last couple of days. Today I've be spending time with my mom. We went to lunch with a friend of hers that hasn't seen me in a couple of years...that was fun to shock her. She knew I had the surgery just hadn't seen me since. We then went to this store that's called Mountain Man Fruit and Nuts...I got some sugar free strawberry rhubarb jam and some sugar free vanilla chai spice mix. I plan to make it tonight for my snack. I will swap my strawberry rhubarb for the one mom bought me today. I have the sugar kind at home and its yummy but want the sugar free kind. We then came home took a nap and she's scrapping I'm here watching Dr.Phil. Jan

Im still here... try to post periodically.... busy with the warmer weather.... Am thinking of buying a gazelle to stare at in the living room. (might even use it).. I do NOT exercise regularly other than taking stairs and parking further way.... gotta get more regular.... Is this a good starter?? K >>> hard to get out of the house to do it as dh is gone a lot in the summer and doing anything with a 4 yo.. is SLOWWWWWWWWWW K

Im still here. I check the May board daily, sometimes more. I dont really have that much to say but am always here. I use to post more often but when it got so dead I figured whats the use? Candy

Hey Kate, Good to see you posting too! You've only got me beat by 50 posts, LOL I try and keep up with ya all, I always check in at least once day. So proud of all the hard work everyone has done! Barb

I'm here, just in pain. You all may remember my postings about all of my back pain and stuff. Well, we think we finally know what's up. I went to the plastics guy and he said he didn't think it was my breasts (as was always thought to be the case) so I went back to my PCP and he said sometimes we never know what the problem is with back pain. So, he sent me to physical therapy. I went yesterday and before I tell you WHAT is wrong, I have to tell you I HURT TODAY!!!!!! Anyway, the physical therapist felt, pushed, poked, bent, twisted, lifted, and anything else that you can think of to my back. At one point she put her hands on my back and asked me if I could feel the difference in relation to each other when it comes to her hands. I told her that the one on the right side of my back felt about an inch or two higher than the one on the left. She said that both of her hands were on the top of my pelvic bone - the left side of my pelvic bone is twisted backwards and the right is twisted forward thus putting my sacrum in an odd position and twisting my entire spine. She also said that my right shoulder is lower than my left and the muscles in my upper back and shoulder are light a tightly pulled rubber-band. She said, "I can see why you're in so much pain!" And I am. I have physical therapy twice a week for the next 10-12 weeks and we'll see what happens. Interestingly, I told her that over the years, all my docs just kept telling me to lose weight and my back pain will go away but it's really gotten worse with my weight loss (135 pounds now!!!) and she said that it's because I don't have all of that fat keeping my spine and stuff in place anymore and the muscles are now in control and they're not used to it! So, we have to work on getting everything back in place and strengthen the muscles to keep them in place. We're starting with Kegels to strengthen the pelvic muscles and work our way up to the core muscles. Sigh...for now I'm just hurting. Michelle

Hi all! I am also still around. I don't get home until so late (hence, it is after 2:30 a.m. as I write this) that I am usually too tired to post! Doing great and holding steady at 179, goal weight and normal BMI!! Thanks for missing me!!!

Hi Guys, I'm absolutely SWAMPED at work and not a lot of relief in site. I check here when I can though and appreciate all of you! Wanda

I'm here I'm just not on the board every day. Have a great weekend everyone! Diane
