Hello back your way Diana, Cody is a nice name and I'm glad your glucose test came back good We have a FULL gym in my house and shame on me for not using it but I need my husband to push me into using it as he does on a daily bases. It's snowing here in PA Hugs Donna

This board got dead I'm doing fine and have not been on the board for such a long time. Shame on me I have gained a few pounds back myself. I went from around 155lbs to 163lbs and what a difference when putting on my size 10 pants. I cant get them on but feel it. I have my throwing up under control for a while now, no more of that going on I found myself eating all day today but I'm dealing with a Aunt that is dying in Canada. STRESS My sister, myself and her daughter are trying to fly and see her before she passes from her cancer. My sister and her daughter will be coming from Alaska and me from PA. Now our trip is on hold until we hear back from our Aunt as she much have chemo I know she won't be up to company when sick from the chemo. Other wise I'm still and breathing. How is everyone else doing? Hugs Donna

Hey Susan, I'm so glad to see you here, I've been lurking. I'm just like you I've gained 15 pounds and I'm going crazy. I'm having problems with my thyroid again and I'm also anemic so I know what you mean about chewing the ice. I really need to get myself back on track and get this weight off before it gets out of hand. Take care, Loni

Hi all!!! Been too long since I have been around. I'm so busy with my new job, and since it is hockey season, that takes what little time I do have. Y'all don't feel alone on the weight gain side.... Since I started my new job on November 6th, right before the holidays, I have also gained about 13 lbs.... I've gotten so frustrated with the scales, I try not to get on them much anymore. One of the few things that doesn't bother my stomach is Hersheys Kisses... I wish I would have never found this out, but I did. And I love them..... When my current stash is gone, thats it..... I have got to get back on track. I absolutely refuse to buy any bigger clothes....Ya know, before surgery, 13 lbs never made a difference in my clothes.... Now 5 lbs makes a difference. I've just decided that I will wear my clothes a little tight and uncomfortable to remind myself of what I need to do. My other big thing I am dealing with now is my constant need to chew/crunch on ice. I'd rather do that instead of eat, but I now have to deal with my teeth hurting. I know that I am probably still anemic since my 2 GI Bleeds, but I just love my ice. I think it is time to go back to the toothpast like Sensidyne. Maybe that will help until I can get my blood count back up. Y'all try to keep your spirits up, and I will do the same. Lets all get back to basics!!! Hugs, Susan
