Yes, please who ever wants to post please post. The key is to support others. I am not looking for a daily post just a post. (check in)
Have you talked to your doctor about doing some soft stretches and such to be able to get your body to be able to stand straight? I hope everthing gets back to normal for you soon.
I remember when I was 2 years out getting to 74 oz was a major challenge for me so I can relate. Like I posted before I realized I can put more in when it is room temp. Maybe something you can try. As the time goes on you will see how much more you will be able to take in.
My hair is black and I've been wanting to lighten my hair brown reddish, but just knowing how much work it is to strip my color then dye it is just too much for me to handle. I am afraid to do anything to make my hair fall out. lol
Keep up the great work Nessa.

Stephanie,
You are NOT alone. I have regained plus on top of that I have been retaining about 13 pounds of fluids. Docs still trying to figure out why the heck this is happening to me. I have had some vitamin deficiency and toxity issues so a lot of the weight gain and symptoms that I have been through come from that. But I am working hard on getting better and losing all this fluid and extra weight for good.
I see people trying hard to help the board so I think it will happen. As long as we all stick to it. We don't all have to post on a daily basis but at least come back to share every so often to keep it goiong.
I think the newbies, old times, pre ops and people that are trying to figure out what they are going to do will really appreciate the support that we all can give them. It is very important to me that they get it.
Thanks for posting.
Good luck with staying on track and I am here for you to cheer you on. :)

I think that we should post whatever we want daily and just check in and REV this BOARD back up!
Walking is what I plan to do when I can... I still am not standing totally straight even,
and part of what we are doing is packing J's apartment up and moving it down here...
I usually dye my own too... the gray more than anything since I've moved away from the bright red to a more muted darker brown now... but once in a while I need what i refer to as a "color correction" to even out the tones... I also get the kerratin straightening treatment twice a year now...
74 oz of water is way more than I could ever do!

Hi Cira,
I am doing well, I have had about a 15 pound regain but have been getting back on track with diet and exercise. I still hate all of the water and find that to be my worst issue, but after a bout with kidney stones I am trying really hard to get in alot more.
It's always good to see you here, even though I rarely post I lurk on the boards daily and it's always sad to see how dead this board is, I really hope it is revived.

Nicole,
I want you to know that you are definitely not alone with the hormone surges and it messes me up after doing so well for a couple or few weeks.
I have to start the 5DPT again to get rid of the carb monster yet again. Don't kick yourself to much. All you have to do is get back up shrug your shoulders and get back on the wagon again. You will do great and just remember that you can do this!
Have a fantastic holiday weekend.
I totally gree with your suggestion abotu the daily post. :)
Take care

Hi Stephanie!!!
I am so glad to see your post.
I can totally relate with what you are saying. I got all the support I needed from a lot of wonderful people and I am thankful for that. I will always be grateful for that and that is why I want to continue paying it forward.
Yes you are right we do get new and different set of issues to deal with. I have been dealing with plenty for the past 3 months. I am working on nipping them in the bud and getting myself back to normal. Well what ever normal is. lol
How are you doing?
Thank you for posting!
