feel a need to apologise!
Paige I really didn't mean to lash out like that but I must admit, mentally I am feeling better.
Newbies, I really hope I did not scareyou. My problems from WLS are an anomaly. The majority of patients do not have the problems I have had ,in fact I have left several surgeons baffled. But things can happen during or from surgery. But then things just as bad can happen if we remain obese.
Maintnance is a bore but even my healthy weight friends plan their meals and watch what they eat. I must admit we have many more limitations but I pull out my pocket photo album and it tells me I really don't want to eat that!!
Thanks to all of my friends and famliy here onn the TMB for holding my hand and supporting me over the last 3 yrs, I don't know how I could have done it without you!
my love and thanks
Meggie

We all have our concerns and issues related to the maintence stage and many have issues from the beginning. It is IMPORTANT that those beginning this journey understand that things happen, things we don't anticipate or hope to deal with.
We love you darling and worry about you. I don't know that I'm strong enough to deal with what you've been through. It's definitely been a bumpy road.
Hugs,

When I was born, I cried and the world rejoiced. Now i wanna live my life so that when I die, the world cries and I rejoice
The real question is, would anyone handle it with as much class, sweetness, and caring like you have? Doubt it. You're awesome Meg - don't you ever forget it!
I mostly lurk on here, but I do follow everyone's posts, and I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the support and sweet attitude you have always shown. After everything that you have been through, it's only natural to feel like venting sometimes - we all care and understand. Apologies are not necessary - I just hope that you feel the same kindness from us that we all feel from you.
Much Love to You!

SAND...it's not a club...it's a frame of mind...
I am amazed at you. If people that do not know you were to meet you, they would never be able to guess what you have been through. You light up a room when you walk in, in spite of what you have been through.
Even when you were laying that hospital bed, you were smiling every time I visited you. You are amazing. Just keep doing what you do.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
