WLS 5/31/07. Maintaining a weight loss of 141 pounds and feeling amazing!
As we are fond of saying in AA, it's none of my business what others think of me! Well I know that sometimes it is not that simple, but whatever, I am glad you are willing to push past your feelings because you have a lot to offer!!!

Sorry you are suffering, but glad to hear you have such a terrific son.
Nicole, I'm glad you are back. I totally agree, we should not let the negative behavior of others control our behavior. They are not worth it.
Lisa, Congratulations to Neil. I know what an accomplishment finishing school is. New briefcase is always a good choice for a present.
Beth, I never taught summer school. During my summers off, I worked at the psych hospital more hours. Did not pay as well, but I enjoyed it so much more than teaching ever.
Today, I have some cleaning to do around my apartment. Then, I am heading to an appointment. Later, I have to let my sister's dogs out, as my sister is not coming home at dinner time. She has a retirement dinner to attend.
Have a blessed day,
Hugs,

I am so glad that you are going to post again. Giving power to those who don't deserve it is just not right! You are stronger than that!! I have let go of a lot of negativity that has affected me and I am NOT going to give them that power!
Your insight and experience is so valued here. This board is about support, love and a shoulder to cry on if need be.
Love you!!
Beth
Hi sarah good to see you. Sorry you have had a hard week but so happy that you have had a chance to fix some of the damage done by the emergency surgery. Lots of celebrations this week it seems as well graduations are always exciting. @ Lisa give Neil a hug and tell him congrats, and I saw the pics of your sweet girl she looks so happy and so gorgeous. @ Beth enjoy your days off if you can and have fun this weekend.
I am going to try and post a bit more here. I have had mixed feelings about coming here. I want to support people and share my life progress and trials here but have not felt that I could totally trust those who lurk here. I have decided to let that go. If I feel moved to post and provide support or ask for advice and help then I will do so. If it gets discussed or taken away from the board in a unhealthy way by others than that is a relfection on them and not me. I will not hold myself back, this board is important to me. There are people here I do trust and people I can help so I will try and be here more.
Siehara got off to camp great yesterday! She was SOOO happy to be back in her happy place. There are a few pics on FB. www.facebook.com/photo.php www.facebook.com/photo.php
Today is Neil's graduation!! I just got out of the shower and will be headed out the door soon. I am going to stop at Staples, first. They have a nice briefcase that will hold his laptop and other stuff he will need when he lands the perfect sales job. As far as I know, all he has for his laptop is a backpack and that is not professional..lol. He may have a briefcase, but this will be a new one and I'm sure he will love it!
After the graduation, I'm sure we will have lunch with his parents and sister, and then head to my friend's in a nearby town in NJ. Her father passed away this week and they are sitting shiva. We will not be there tonight for the service, but want to stop by and offer our condolences. Then we will head back to my place for the weekend. We have a few things that we want to do, but no definite plans.
Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!!!

Good to see you posting!! Sorry that you are having a rough week! I hope you heal and feel better soon.
Today is my first day of summer vacation! Yippee....I am not that thrilled because I have TONS to do and I start my summer job on Tuesday. I will be working through the month of July. I shouldn't complain because it is extra money that I need especially during the summer. I will make more in that one month than if I worked all summer!! So, I have August to look forward to!! I WILL be taking at least a couple of days to do nothing.
I have errands to run, an appt with the chiropractor, then a trip to Sams club. After that I will come back home and clean like a mad woman! I straightened up a bit last night, but there is still a lot to do! My BFF is graduating today and I am hosting a graduation party for her tomorrow for about 20 people. OY!
That is it for me!
Have a GREAT day, stay hydrated and cool!
Love, Beth
This has been a tough week. On Tuesday I had a reverse fleur-de-lis revision surgery. My goodness the pain & nausea are bad. Last summer I had the corset trunk plasty & medial thigh plasty, & a TVT. Than a week later I had emergency surgery that was laproscopic to save my life- long story, & not WLS related. Well that laparoscopic surgery restretched skin- I had that fixed on Tuesday. I was debating having it done until my 13 yr old son told me that I came this far& I should finish the job. He then added that it really liooked bad & he supported me having surgery. What a great kid:) About 2-3 pounds of skin were removed (area= ~ the size of a sheet of paper). I can't wait to heal up and have the results I desired last summer. I just want to not NEED to wear a body shaper. I work out but old skin just hangs. The skin does not firm up. I am tentatively off wor****il July 4th to heal up.
My son is running a 5K in the morning where I work. I wish I could be there to see him run , but I can't. Enjoy your Friday - and as my son says "respect the pouch"
