Sad

I miss all my friends from this board - it was such a big part of my life, checking in daily to hear from you all, and being a part of your lives (and you part of mine). I guess we are all so active now we are too busy living our lives - yay for success! Boo for lost friendships

Some of us are still here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Jean Thanks, it's good to know the gang are still around. How are you feeling now? Is it still painful? I can't wait to see pics of your wonderful flat tum...

it's odd how the farther out we get from surgery the less we post here. but i guess it makes sense. i do check in regularly, but rarely post. i always appreciate your kind comments. Joe

Thanks Joe how are things with you now - are you all settled into your new home? I think you were sick last time you posted weren't you? Hope you are feeling better now

So true!! I still lurk on here everyday and some days,not even one post!! I guess everyone is so busy with their new lives that they just don't have the time anymore...but I'm still here!

(((((((((((((Karen))))))))))))) Well you and I must sit down and have a cuppa and post chat sometime as we are both still here on the days when it's quiet . At least now I know that you are here, even if there aren't any posts, and then I'll try and think of something to post to cheer us up

I'm still lurking too! Just seems like there's not a lot to post about lately. What's your next goal, Ruth? I would love to get off this stupid plateau I'm on ... I haven't lost anything since June and I go up and down the same 4 pounds over and over again. I exercise a lot and don't overeat. So I don't know why I'm not losing. I'm staying below the caloric range my dietician gave me. So I don't know why the pounds aren't coming off! It's frustrating! I have a 10K race coming up in 2 weeks so that is what I'm working towards. Deanna

I think that for me, it is hard to post about not losing any more weight. I really feel disconnected and sad too, even though I haven't been on this board long. My surgeon has a board that I get a lot of information on, but there is so much bickering and no will to work it through that I feel that I just don't belong anywhere. I changed scales last month and the new scales weigh heavier than my old scales. I knew that just after I bought it and I thought that I would pick a good time to change over (you know, when I would feel good about being 8lbs heavier for no reason )but now I think that I have gained some weight too, so I am totally avoiding weighing myself at all. How pathetic is that? I at Halloween candy last night. I hear the kids bags of candy calling me from the kitchen and I will do my best to resist. I am afraid that this candy is Borg candy (for those Star Trek fans) Resistance is futile! I might have to chuck it all out and come up with a good cover story for the boys Holly

Holly, I totally get the Borg candy being a trekkie myself ha ha. Yep, I'm beginning to feel that way about the candy too - so far my daughter hasn't noticed it going down, but she will if I don't resist I hate changing my scales - I had to do that about 6 months after wls. I finally got used to them, though. Stick with it and they'll be your friend soon. Actually it might be a good thing to not weigh yourself for a while - maybe we all get too hung up on them and need a vacation once in a while. We've always got our clothes to go by. I'm sorry you don't enjoy your surgeons board. I feel totally at home here on the May board and although have been lurking and occassionally post on the grad board, don't want to leave here. It takes a while to get to know people and feel comfortable with them doesn't it, and I value this place so much. I hope it becomes that way for you too
