Where has everyone gone??

Why is no one on this board anymore??  I need some support damnit,....come back!!

I have been wondering the same thing. It seems that none of the familar board names to me are popping up anymore. It seems like it goes days without a new post at all. I hope everyone is doing Okay and that there is not a crisis in their lives that is keeping them from coming to the boards.

I have a few pounds creeping back on and some old ugly habits rearing their heads.  I am two years out and really have lost touch with most everyone and everything associated with my surgery.  I haven't exercised all summer and am feeling quite desperate to get back on track.  I need support!!

Hi!  I'm new here and hope to get some support after I have my surgery in one month.  But wow!!! Look at what you have accomplished so far.  I went to Weigh****chers for 10 years and kept off 70 - 90 pound for all that time.  I just need to lose a bunch more.  My leader always said, if you are gaining weight, cut carbs, concentrate on protein, drink lots of fluids and exercise more.  So that certainly isn't a secret formula on these boards.  If it were that easy, none of us would have to have the surgery.  But life gets busy and old habits creep back in and Whammo, the pounds start creeping back up.  Good luck, I'm sure you will get those pounds off soon!

Been wondering the same thing here too.  I use to not be able to keep up with the posts, and now its like there are very few.  I have been over on the pregnancy board with the little one being born in July but still check in here too!

Hope everyone comes back soon!!!

I'm here...kinda. I don't really come to the board that often, but, am always up for an email. I do check my messages here about once a month. You can also find me on facebook as Charlotte Merritt (check MeltingMama or Eggface's friends list..I'm on both)

Hi Jeannie,  I am still here, but have been too busy to post the last few weeks!   There is also an Indiana group on now too.  check some of the prior e mails and you will see it. 

 I'm here but my laptop has fried twice in the past month so I"ve been away for a while.  Got it back now so I should be around more often now.

They started a new Obesity site here called hoosier loosers.. I think people went there.. some started a facebook page and me... I have just falling apart.
I didnt have insurance for 2 years and didnt take my vitamins now my D is dangerously low... my B-12 I have to take a shot every 3 weeks and take the sublingual Daily..... My thyroid medicine needed adjusted too... I have gained a little back thank God not all of it but I could stand to loose a few more...(50) at least!!

be well,

I think because a larger majority of us have had our surgeries 3+ years out, we've kinda have come to the point in our lives where we are living instead of being standbyers like we kinda were prior in being obese. I, personally, have so much going on that I rarely remember to check in at the board because most of the members that I've gotten close to & those that I stay in contact with to keep my support momentum going, I do so by friending them on Facebook because of my limited time. In a way it really not far for all your newbies, pre wls'ers, or anyone else because everyone needs as much support & info as they can get. All I can advise is if you feel like you can/or have made a connection w/someone on here for support or even friendship - don't limit to just Facebook. Many of the people on here are open about their wls on their Facebook so just ask if you can friend them on there. 

Blessings & Love to All
