Missed the group

Well I sure have missed the group. Life has been very busy but I need the group. Well I guess to be honest I have been a little down. The scales stay still and on occasion move down a notch. I feel like I have shrunk back into my hole. I don't want  to do that. I am still loosing but I have to keep reminding myself. I still run into people who have not seen me since before surgery and they cannot belive it.  Maybe I am just on a pitty party. If I could only get some sleep. I work nights and cannot sleep during the day or at night for that matter. Jimmie is getting closer to having everything done for him to have surgery. We think all the pre-op testing may soon be over.

The group sure has grown. Welcome to all that I have not met yet. And congratulations to all new post-op's. Thanks for lending a ear. Time to get busy again.

I don't know you yet, but I know slow progress is still rough. I haven't had surgery, just recently decided on trying ww again. Keep on truckin though girl!!! There is less of you there than what used to be and that is something to be commended! Keep your chin up, you are doing great. I'm sure every shrink would tell you it's a bad idea, but sometimes it helps me to focus on other people to get me out of MY self pity rut. You need sleep too. That is a big contributer to mood as well. Have you tried any herbal stuff? I know that at our local Walgr**ns there is an herbal spray that is supposed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep for awhile. Unlike most sleeping pills, this requires you to only get 5 hrs of sleep rather than the full 8. I have a one year old, and a scipt for sleeping pills, but can't take something like them due to the fact that he could require me somewhere during that "perfect 8 hrs".  I've been thinking about trying the herbal thing. Just a suggestion. Anyway, once again, treat others as you would treat yourself. Would you be this hard on someone else? NO. Cut yourself some slack. Love yourself a little more. Big hugs to you~ Joni
