I miss our daily polls!

I feel this burning need to touch base EVERY day with my Sept. 2004 buddies... keeps me on track, keeps me focused... maybe it's a little obsessive, but it's working!!! I'm being accountable when I do it!!! So, guys - I'm missing our daily poll!!!! Let's see... what can we chat about?????? Katie RNY 9/21/04 380 (pre-op) / 305 (current) / 175 (goal)

Hi Katie, just dropping a line to say hello! Hope all is well with you and your family. I read your profile for the first time today. Loved the food ideas. I also plateau for 4 or 5 weeks then drop weight over night! I am sure that I am doing everything correctly...but that's just the way we loose. I'm now down 55# and loving it. I don't have house guests this week, but do next week...that's the way it is when you live in Florida, everyone wants to visit in the Winter. Later, Rosey 265/210/180

Hi! So great to hear from you!!!! Oh, I'm jealous! Tomorrow we're supposed to have snow flurries in the afternoon/evening! Everyone in the family is doing very well. My husband went back to work last week after being off for 8 weeks with his hernia surgery... that's a relief! Save me a room down there!!!!! I'd love to visit!!! Never been to Florida, but hope to one of these days! Once the kids are a little older I want to take them to Disney!!! You're doing GREAT!!!! Many thanks for everything Katie

I have to agree. I must admit that I pop on and off all day to see if there are any new posts etc. Sometimes I don't feel I have anything interesting to say so I generally wait to respond to something. Have a great week-end everybody..... Shannon

Katie I'm so happy to hear that the polls are enjoyed! That's the whole reason I did 'em because I found myself coming on here and looking for new posts and stats and info so often and I knew others were probably doing so just like me. But the boards were too slow for me!! Sooooo...... I DUB THEE POLL-ER OF THE WEEK! It's your turn to poll us Katie! If you poll us we will answer... (well, at least I will, because, like you I like to check in here ALOT and get my shot of motivation. Love, Sue

I take my crown with pride, Sue!!! I will serve us well and the poll-er of the week. I'm thinking some non-WLS topics for this week? Fun stuff to get to know each other better???? Then, maybe once a week - on a designated day we can do the stats-poll???? What do you think?????

Hi, I also like the polls. Thank you for doing them. I check in to this board every day and love reading about you all. I finnally lost a couple of pounds. I am down 62 lbs. now. I was stalled all of Dec. and Jan. I should not weigh each day, but I am so compulsive. I always say that I will not let the numbers dictate how I feel about myself each day, but I still do. I still love it when I see another pound gone!!! My hair is really falling out now. I went and had a hair cut today and it looks a little better. She put more layers in the front on top of my head so I appear to have a little more hair. I have done all the right things and am even using the Nioxin products. Well, it is a small price to pay for this wonderful weight loss. I am so happy I had WLS and that my doctor was willing to work with an older person who is on medicare. I am very lucky. Bye for now and God Bless You All, Susan

Hi Susan! I too am starting to lose hair faster... and as my profile says (I don't want to repeat all my boring stuff) I'm doing everything I should be... it's just a small price to pay - plus most people say it grows back healthier, thicker etc... so, by the time I'm SKINNY, I should have a good head of hair!!! Take care!!! Katie

I too like the polls, just don't make them require more than a few answers because when there are too many questions on one poll, I tend to skip them It may be just because I am lazy lol. Have great weekend, Sharon P.S. I just ansered the pet poll---you hit my interest with that one!!

Hi Sharon I know sometimes I'm prone to being a bit "wordy" But don't let that dissuade you from jumping in and responding in short form if you prefer! Love, Sue
