Topic: RE: How did we all lose track of each other?
We have a strong group that still meets South of the River. I know that's a long drive for you, but maybe once a month or so would be worth it. This coming Saturday at 8:30 am we will be at the Panera Bread in Burnsville Center. Feel free to join us!

Hugs to you too Connie!
I really miss it. And I don't know how people are doing it without the support like what we received. But maybe they have a better family support system? I don't know. I was totally alone, no family and I chose not to tell most of my friends (for various reasons). You just cannot be successful without support. I hope I hear from some people, but I don't think I will...they are just gone...
I hope you find some support in your area too...
HUGS!!!!

Hell Deb....yes those were the days!! Seems like people have broken off into their own little groups for whatever the reason. The Maple Grove Group has fizzled.That is to bad as it realy was a fun group at that time. The help and support isn't there like it was.
I know some of the people in Eagan area etc. still meet. That is just to much driving for me for a couple hours.
I hope you can find a group to get together with.

Hi Marsha!... Are you in Hutchinson?... If so, I think we may have met at coffee a time or two a few years ago... Are there any coffee groups around the area anymore and if so, when do they meet?... If not, would you like to start one with me?... I am struggling with some of the same issues that you are and it would be nice to get together once in awhile and discuss... Please let me know if you'd be interested... I live in Gaylord but shop in Hutch regularly... Michelle :)
Topic: How did we all lose track of each other?
Years ago, we used to meet, at the minimum, once per month. It was a time for fellowship, for leaning on each other, for learning from each other, for being with people who KNOW what we are each going through. Having WLS is not easy and the life we have after WLS is not easy. I am struggling and I miss the bond the board used to have.
We used to encourage each other daily. I remember a large group of us getting together at Darla's work for the weekend. I remember us passing along clothes and coats to others. I remember the laughs, the hugs and the tears. I don't see that anymore on this board. I don't know how we all lost contact. For me, I thought I didn't need the group anymore - I knew it all and had it all covered all by myself. I was wrong...
If there is anyone out there that wants to start getting together somewhere near or in Wisconsin, contact me.

Marsha,
I haven't been on here in months, but thought I would look and see if anyone I know is still on the board. I read your post. I am so sorry you are struggling so much. Your honesty and openness should be helpful to some of the newbies.
I don't know what HCB drops are...never heard of them. But whatever they are and whatever they are for, I hope they work for you.
I am still struggling with my weight. I have been working really hard at trying to limit carbs and I am down some, but I still want to lose another 10-15lbs so my clothes fit again.
To all the new people...Don't take the weightloss for granted...eventually you may stop dumping and be able to eat some of your old foods again. Don't even try them! the first few years it's almost impossible to gain weight, once I hit year 3 that all changed. I'll be 5 years out next month and for the last year or more I have been struggling with an extra 25lbs. I am still WAY less than I was and I am still controlling my diabetes without meds, but I feel uncomfortable and have hundreds of dollars worth of beautiful clothes that I can not wear right now. Listen to the ones who have walked this path before you and learn from our mistakes!
