Haven't been here in a long time!

Hi everyone, I have been so absent and I think it has been bad for me. I really need to get on the board more! I've had a very rough month with my brother passing away on Nov. 2.....he'd been burned on Sept. 21 and never was able to recover. My year anniversary is Dec. 18 and I've been stuck for over a month...actually I'm up 3 lbs. from where I was mid-Oct. I'm feeling like this may be it for me. I have 15 lbs. to my dr's goal and I would really like to reach it but I'm going to have to do some real work to make that happen. My loss stopped as soon as my PCP put me on strong hormones to regulate my cycle......and she did that because of my severe chronic anemia. I'm to have a hysterectomy either Dec. 16 or 17 and that should help and then I should be able to go on different hormones that don't affect my weight. I hope to be on the boards more. Anyone else stuck for the last 4-6 weeks? Jenni -120

Hi Jenni, I'm stuck since August, gaining and loosing the same 5lbs, with a loss of 102lbs, 30lbs from my doctors goal. I think I'm done, too. I'm sorry about your brother. Loosing someone so quickly and so harshly is devistating. I know we never 'get over' something like that, but time will make the pain easier. Just take it one day at a time and don't think beyond that right now. Nona
