Views vs replies

I just noticed how many views there are to all the Maine posts and how little replies.  like 93 views and 4 replies.  wow..!!!  Kinda sad.  People need to come out, I know many have reached all their weight loss and don't need to be here anymore, and yes, want to discuss where they are in their journey, maintaining, Plastic Surgery.  But,  I I'm sure there are alot of pre ops that have questions, you should all get support from each other as we all did in the past.  When we all were going thru the same things.  Alot have made great friends here. We all move on in our journey, we have new issues and discussions.  Some have even had surgery and shared rooms on the same date.  It really is something you all need.  Don't be shy, open up guys. Share where you are at in your journey.  I remember coming on here and asking, where do i begin.  Best of luck to all of you, and hope you can find good friends the same way so many in the past have.

You are right. I have not been as good about posting as I once was. I will try and get better about that myself. Actually I have not had the time to be on as much but will make the time. It does help keep me focused for sure.

Thank you for posting this, Cheryl!  I wish more people would "come out" as well.  

Whether people want my opinion or not.........seems like I'm always here!  haha!

Hope more peeps come out of "lurkdom"!

Promise I won't bite!!!!!!!  (can't speak for anyone else on here though!)

I am new to the board but have learned a lot.  It seems like a great support.  My surgery is 5 weeks from tomorrow!!  I am so excited!!

I'd be willing to bet if you keep posting you will find someone who has the surgery the same day or maybe week.  YOu can help each other so much, by encouraging each other to exercise, new recipes, what you eat for breakfast, protein shakes.  it is really really important, you might have a bad week and your buddy can help you thru it, her bad week might be next week.  Beside, the rest of the gang here, with experience can always suggest what you need to do.

I don't even have a surgery date yet, but I've been on here learning, joking, and consoling with everyone.  I think it is a great place to come to, but I agree. Even if you only have a moment to make a little comment or a gesture, it's nice to know you are out there!

I know I don't always reply but reading the posts has helped me alot. 

Congratulations to you and your upcomming surgery and welcome to the board, you wont find a better group, than here....

I find it hard posting when everyone from Maine in RNY and I am lap band, so there is not much really the same, I check in to see how everyone is doing.
