Where is everyone from NH.....

Boy, our message board is lacking post's. I wish more people would post from NH. Just to say how your doing, wheather or not you have had surgery or not. Just to get some chatting going. ........ Debi Lee

OK, Debi, Here you go I am from NH and I have had surgery and feel that I am doing great..! Although I have been eating a little bit more then I want to be eating... I had my surgery 05/18/03 and I am down 152 pounds.. I find that I am snacking a little more then I did at first. (NOT GOOD) But I know that I am doing it so and working on it... So that is the one good thing about it... It is not that I am hungery but just that old Head Hunger! Bourdem, watching TV, those type of things... As long as I stay busy things are ok... Going to the support group meeting in Manchester, this Friday... Hope to see some of you there.... We can do it.....!

I TOTALLY RELATE TO THE HEAD HUNGER THING IT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME. I JUST WENT TO A METTTING THIS PAST WEDNESDAY AND THEY WERE THROWING IDEAS ON HOW TO GET AWAY FROM BOARDUM, BUT I AM SURE SELF CONTROL HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT ALSO. BUT ANYWAY WHEN I FIND MY SELF GETTING THE MUNCHIES I GET UP AND DO SOMETHING AROUND THE HOUSE WEATHER IT BE CLEANNING GOING ON THE PUTER, SOMETHING TO OCCUPY YOUR MIND WIHT SOMETHING. DEBI

Hey there Deb, I was wondering the same thing when I was in the chat room earlier. There was no one from NH in there at all. I live in Pittsfield, makes it tough as there are no support groups close by. I have to travel 45 min to an hour to attend and this is not always a possiblility. I think I have only gone to one since my surgery almost a year ago. Jeff, I know how you feel about eating more than you would like. I am going through the same thing right now and I am so frustraited and angry with myself I could just scream. I cannot wait until Spring gets here so I can get outside and do things instead of sitting around all the time.

hello everyone well I am me and me is what I am you are that which is all of the things I know to be

Hi Everyone! My name is Tina and i'm considering having surgery. I would love to hear the best and the worst thing this surgery has done for you all, please dont hold back. Thanks Tina from Derry

TINA, I HAVE TO TELL YOU I HAVE NO REGRETS OF HAVING THIS SURGERY AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEART BEAT. ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME AND ASK. DEBI

I know what you mean. I check here every so often, but never anything going on. I just had my one year anniversary on Feb 10. Down 92 pounds. Passed my first two goals and only three pounds away from my new and final goal. On the plateau from hell - but it's my own fault. I am suffering from night time snacking, big time. Also not enough exercise. I did buy an exercise bike. However, I got it on Friday and then on Saturday I broke my tailbone - so no riding it for a couple of months. I am in pain - big time. Would love to keep in touch with some people local for support. I don't get to the support group meetings as I work late on the nights they have the meetings. Take care, Kathy Open RNY 2/10/03 215/123/120

HI, KATHY I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR TAIL BONE...oUCH THAT MUST HURT....I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE NIGHT TIME SNAKING BUT I FIND IF I KEEP MY SELF BUSY WITH DOING SOMETHING ELSE WEATHER IT BE ON THE PUTER OR CLEANING THE HOUSE, THAT KEEPS ME AWAY FROM THE SNACKING OR I JUST GO TO BED...

Here I am! Im from Penacook NH had my surgery 10-11-01 lost 150lbs woohoo. What a nice gift to give ourselves a chance of a new life. I too am having a hard time with head hunger. and I for one work round food all the time so its really hard sometimes. That part about sitting at the computer, doesnt work for me. Coz that is where I tend to munch more sometimes. Like everyone else has said if im busy then I tend to not eat so much.Guess we all need to go to the gym and get that head hunger out of our minds huh..... Talk soon all.
