Oh Donna... SISTA! I hear you on the premonpausal problems. Add that on top of everything in our brains and lives that got us to needing wls in the first place and that makes it even tougher to fight the weight and eating issues.
Hope you are getting some help with the depression and have a good doc to work with on the premen. issues too. Hang in there...and keep on track.

I'm so grateful for that little option of 'notify me when someone replies to my post' below our postings so that we can have a reminder to get back over here and check up on one another more often. Not everybody is fortunate to have a monthly support group like me, I guess, and it is so important for us all to hang in this struggle together and lend whatever support we can.
I love that at my last post-op appointment the PA gave me an updated copy of 'The Rules' that they give to newer patients. It is always good to remember the rules our doctors want us to follow and way too easy to give in to forgetting them.
keep hanging in there and don't let that 30 stop you from feeling great and doing the right things.

Wow...thank you for sharing this encouragement. You have done awesome and come soooo far! I love, love, love your comment about fousing on putting things in instead of on taking things out. Gotta remember that for support group this month and may just have to make myself a little reminder sign of that too for my kitchen. Such a good example of positive reinforcement rather than negativity.
Topic: RE: Hi Everyone
Hi Marsha,
You have not failed silly, you just had some regain. Glad you have a WW to go to, what do you think of the program? My sister is doing it (she WAS doing it with Mom but Mom quit on her...shamey finger!) and I am trying to be as encouraging as possible. In fact, I'm lovin' that veggie soup that is in the startup program materials. I know that I couldn't do it very well without help, those points and all are way over my head.

Topic: RE: Another Oldie Checking In
Hi Ro! Hugs!!!! Even though I'm not on the mb anymore I still think of you all so often. I really should have come back and updated my post...after finally getting the 4-yr. checkup I had news. Not really good either. My labs were all over the place BAD. I'd slipped with the vitamins a little worse than I'd thought and wow did it rack up in the bloodwork fast. Surprisingly fast! I was one point away from needing a transfusion. So of course now I'm on super-duper iron and different vitamins and also got to have an endometrial ablation. Only 11 days post-op from that so I'm still healing and won't see any benefit from it for weeks and weeks yet.
Still so incredibly tired but relieved to know what the source of it (the exhaustion) is and nice to have multiple treatments going...what a huge dose of hope!
