Topic: OH support group, paying it forward
Hello everyone! I am a fairly new OH support group leader and would like to invite you all to take a look at my online support group here on OH. I was banded on 12/3/2008 and have been an OH member since 5/2008. Oh has taught me so much and the people on the boards here are AWSOME! Everyone inspires and motivates me, which we all need. I invite you to take a look or join my online support group at the following link:  "On the lighter side" Remember though, I am still a little new at this. I am setting up a weekly or bi-weekly topic for discussions. Hope to see some of you!   Kristy
P.S The group is for all types of WLS, pre & post, or anyone just looking for info & support.

"On the lighter side"  Everyone and anyone welcome!

Topic: Roll Call!!!
I know we are wet and drenched, but I was just wanting to send a shout and and see if we were all ok.  Let us know you are ok, even with your pretty webbed feet and pontoon cars.

Has rained here all day, road washing out at the bottom of the hill.  Not a bad time to be sick after all, at least the sun isnt shining and making it worse for me stuck in the house!!

Going to paddle back to bed, hope all is well, give us a yell!!

Topic: RE: Starting over!!!
I have not been on here for a LONG time but felt compelled to stop by and glad I did.    I have been sitting at the same weight for about 4 months now.   Getting very very discouraged!!     When you talk to people that are not on this weight loss journey they do not understand.  They just say you are doing good and if you dont loose any more weight you still look good.  UGHHHH    I do not want to be in the 200's any more!!!!!    I have been sitting at 209-214 for around 4-5 months.     So I am glad to get back on this site and see that I am normal and this is just another part of this journey and there is great support here.   Thanks to everyone who has posted and keep up the good work.

Topic: Monday Monday!!
Well, its another soggy Monday. I suppose I will stay inside all day and behave myself.  Tired of being inside, but better to be here than in the hospital. 
Went to the horse barn yesterday and huddled in the lil house around the wood heater all day.  Was nice to see people, but was very tiring, just sitting and talking.
Steriods have my head all goofed up and it roars when lots of folks are talking.  Still very weak, and shaky, but getting better slowly.
Hope everyone has a safe Monday, rained here all night long, stopped for now, but looks like it could return at any time.
Back to lay down for a few, need to rest, but feel like thats all I do.

Hugs,
Rhonda d.

Topic: RE: High B12??
The B-12 in a B complex vitamin doesn't count.  RNYers can't absorb that. 

We have to rely on passive absorption (sublingual, injection or nasal spray).

Topic: RE: Torani Syrups at Big Lots!!
I live next door to a coffeehouse, and they use the Torani syrups, they have EVERY flavor there, and they make homemade milkshakes with them (vanilla ice cream and some syrup and milk) yummy, they also use them in all their coffees, cafe au laits, espressos etc.. 

I was surprised on how thin the syrup was when I opened my bottle.  But I was happy with the taste.  I haven't tried it in my protein shakes yet, only coffee.

Topic: RE: YOU LITTLE ROCK PEEPS!
After the Walk from Obesity, my sister and I (and her 2 year old) browsed through the rivermarket.  We really liked the pumpkins/squash/goards that were all the way at the end.  There was some really cool pumpkins there.  We also checked out the jellies, I think they were mennonites or something selling them.  I noticed a lot of asian veggies there to.  I was broke so I couldn't buy anything.  My sister needs to sell up there, their harvest this year was gigantic, she couldn't get it all canned, froze, put up or gave away fast enough, and some veggies got wasted.
