I keep thinging about all hurtful words my ex husband said so long ago. I am going to a support meeting next month and I pray I will meet some of you wonderful losers !! If you want email me I need your help to stay in -check please. Thanks. Gayle aka I want to be a big loser too. [email protected]

Hello Gayle, Hurtful words, no matter how long ago spoken or by whom, can have a lasting effect. Maybe you should also consider some personal counseling to help you come to terms with hurtful emotional things from your past so that you can work towards living a better future with or without WLS. Good luck and I hope things become less stressful for you soon. Jodi 8/31/2005 267/205/Healthy Total Fills: 2.3 cc's

I went through the last meal thing and it's a terrible thing...hang in there, and be strong!!! "HUGZZZZZZZZZZ" ~~~Shari

When is your surgery date? Try getting enrolled in your bariatric centers doctor supervised weight loss program right away...it will help you learn how to eat healthy before your surgery....and you will be way ahead of the game for after surgery....since you will have to eat healthy afterwards to keep the weight off. Plus it will give you monthly support at mettings with others going thru the same thing. It is also a good thing to do in case your insurance requires a 6-18 month pre-surgery diet. Goos luck to you with your journey RNY 7/28/04 296/147/140

Hurtful words... I have lost 100 pounds and still hear those words said so long ago.. IF they only knew how much they hurt... Have you been to the surgery center?? Do you have a date?? You need to get started. Yep go to support groups, come tho the clothing exchange on Sat. keep online... everything helps!! I still need encouragement not to fall back to my old eatting habits. Linda
