Good Morning everyone!

I hope that everyone is having a great day and enjoying the nice weather.   I am posting here hoping that somehow we can all get together and try to rebuild this forum with, support and caring for one another.  I know that there are many new members, old members, pre ops, post ops or just anyone thinking of having surgery that needs support in one way or another.

When I started my journey this forum was where I got most of my support and information.  I would like to pay it forward to those who needs the support.  I am now 4 1/2 years post op and I still need the support.


Please know that I am here for anyone that needs the support. 

Just putting it out there for anyone who would like to join me in helping the MD forum stand back up. With genuine support and no drama.

Remember to drink lots of fluids, take vitamins and never forget your protein. Walk if you can not exercise. Start small and build yourself up and know that we are all different in this journey. There is no picture perfect post op we all go through challenges and we hang on to others that go through similar journeys. 

Have a wonderful day on purpose.

Cira, you are a Dear ! This was a great place at one time until drama & 2 faced backstabbers started showing their true colors. This is sad & it has hurt many people including me. It is sad that people can judge people who they have never even laid eyes on & then spead rumors about them. Sad they can never tell the truth about what they have said. I just hope they got enjoyment out of talking about me instead of their own crappy life. I wish you well on trying to get things back together. You have been a great supporter of me & have never turned your back on me.  Love, Julie

Hey Jewels! 

I am so sorry this all happened to you. Trust me I know how you feel. But I want to help you put it behind you. You are a sweet soul and you deserve to be happy.
I hope you are willing to help me get this board up for the sake of those who might need some support. 
You have always been so supportive Julie and I know that many would benefit it.

Thank you for always being there for me.

Love,

Cira

Cira, thanks so much. You have always been there no matter what & I really appreciate that. I have had so many struggles this past year that I have had no time for ME ! I know you can relate I have made a promise to myself that come fall I will get back on track. I will let you know how things go. Take care of yourself and feel better soon !

Julie,

This Summer I had zero time for me and it just about killed me. Never again I'll tell you.  So girl as soon as you can give yourself some "me" time be selfish and take advantage of it. :)

I need to get  back on track myself since I haven't been able to walk or exercise. I am working hard on drinking a lot of fluids to flush out all this extra fluids that I have been retaining. 

Keep me posted on you getting back on track I will be your cheer leader!  

Hugs,

Cira

Good afternoon Cira and the rest of the great state of Maryland!  Good to see a few of you interested in turning this forum back in time.  Although I now reside in Pennsylvania, I'll always consider myself an adopted Marylander (is that how you guys say it?). 

Beautiful day today.  After the dreadful weekend, Mother Nature owes us this weather.  Hope everyone has a chance to take a few minutes out of their busy lives and enjoy it!  Take care everybody.

Hi Andy,

Sorry I didn't get a chance to peek back in during the day.  Today was a busy day.  Well no worries about living in PA. I moved to Charles Town, WV  from MD and I feel like I will always belong to the MD forum.  I guess I would say I am an adopter Marylander myself. 

So glad to see your post.  How are you doing? I hope all is well.  I hope you are willing to help out with getting this place back up.  I would really appreciate the help.
 
Yes, for sure I've been enjoying the low humidity and nice weather since Irene left that I turned off the AC.  I hope it stays like this for good. 

Take care and see you around.
