Nona, Can you feel the love girl? Keep up the good work. P.S. I am so bloated in my stomach from this hernia surgery, that I can't button my pants..... OH well Have a great day.....Lorraine

Nona, Stop making yourself crazy. You will bounce back to the "Century Club" very soon. This is a minor setback. Don't worry. You are a great loser with your WLS in my book.Life has so many setbacks. Look what I am going through. We are strong to us. CAN I HUG YOU? Lorraine

Hi Nona I'm so sorry to hear of all of the stresses that you are going through. It's hard enough to be going through and struggeling with your weight loss journey to begin with, much less all of the additional stuff you have going on. I wish I had a miracle answer that could make it all better. Alls I have are suggestions.... maybe do a priority check and decide what has to come first... health, then emotions, then weight... or whatever else you feel needs to be in there and in what order- and then just take steps everyday to work on those things in that order. Maybe find an activity that relaxes you or that you enjoy that could give you some exercise OR just some relaxation. Make sure you get enough rest AND activity.... maybe come up with a new plan of action for your diet.... if your feeling hungry a lot maybe you need to eat MORE... maybe change WHAT you are eating instead of how much so that you can eat more? I know you have probably tried so much and it is frustrating. I'm sorry if I am of no help- just trying to think of anything that might help things. As long as you keep trying and working at getting what you want (to keep losing, to get better, etc) things will eventually move in a positive direction. Keep your spirits up and take care of you first. My thoughts and prayers will be with you- I will be hoping that you get better and that things start going the way you want them to. Lots of hugs and support Shawna

Yeah I had a wake-up the other day to, when I realized I was turning back to the old habits....It is a journey we will be on for a long time, the rest of our life, but if we try and do our best, we have a great chance!!! You are doing wonderfully!!! Keep up the great work!!! Come by here more often and give us updates!! Jesi

I am sorry for all of your complications. Stress can do strange things to our bodies. My scale has yet to move in any direction. Hope to see you get better! Rhonda
