Struggling?
Can we get a group going in the Irvingish / Valley Ranch area? I met a girl on Sat at Dr. Kims breakfast group that Lives in Lewisville and works in Irving/Las colinas not far from me....... "Dawn" we've seen her on here lately
I'll help you in whatever venue I need to....YOU JUST DELEGATE AND SAY THE WORD GIRL.....
Sat AM walks, or whatever.........I NEED SOMETHING AND I NEED PEEPS AND YOU ALL 1!
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.
- Total Lost: 139 lbs
- Current Weight: 263
- As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain. Not happy about that.
- RNY: 10-16-07 = 338: Highest weight: 350+ Lowest Weight: 199
I'm willing to attend, but with the baby coming I'm not going to commit to organizing or leading the group this time. Plus, I'm still getting over the last group I led falling apart. I'm more than happy to get together to hang out, walk, or whatever. Saturday morning work well for me right now since Jeff likes to sleep in.

Do you all know that part in GREASE at the end where the actress (can't remember her name) says.....AWWWWW the gang is all together again..............After reading this morning and the posts/replies following..............I'm so glad to see us pulling together again. I miss you all. I for one wil try to keep the "downer" posts limited.......I hope that I haven't EVER pulled anyone down with my complaints - drama, etc.....cuz that was NOT my intent...
I too am struggling as many of you all know, but through support and practicing good habits and choices.............ONLY I CAN CHANGE AND CHANGE FOR THE BETTER..
NEWBIES: IT DOESN'T GET EASIER THE FURTHER OUT YOU GO - SO GET THOSE GOOD CHOICES AND BETTER/GOOD HABITS GOING NOW.....AND STICK TO IT.....CUZ ITS ROUGH THE FURTHER OUT YOU GO. IT IS NOT ALL FAIRY PRICESSES AND FARTS AS SOMEONE POSTED A LITTLE WHILE BACK !!
I love each and everyone of you all on this board..differences, indifferences........we all have to accept that we may not accept some others.............but without each other and YOU - I wouldn't have the love and the family that I feel I have........on here..........
LUV YOU ALL
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY !! I KNOW THAT I WILL !!

I need the support. I'm learning that unless you have had this surgery and been through what it can do to you mentally you just don't understand. I hate that I have put on weight. People tell me I look better now with the few extra pounds that my face and eyes don't look sunken in. But in the back of my mind I am thinking today it's 5-8 pounds next it will be 20 pounds. I am scared to death.
One thing I have got to stop is the alcohol. I never was a drinker but now I have one drink a night and it relaxes me and helps me sleep. My daughter told me the other night she was scared I would become an alcoholic. She's never known me to drink. I know that we can get other addictions and to be honest it scares me too.
Overall I do VERY well with my vitamins and my water intake. I need to work on remembering my iron supplement. I only have to do it every few days so before I know it I have gone a week.
I miss everyone and hope to get back into being a part of the group again.

I'm here too! I know I need the support, Bill and I have both gained. I lost 12 pounds in the last couple of weeks, but not becasue I was trying. I would rather get back on track and do it the right way, the way I know I can.
Since I have had trouble swallowing, it's harder for me to get in cold liquids. Iced tea is about the only thing that seems to flow at a pretty good rate
The warm liquids like hot tea feel so much better! However, today I will work on getting in at least 32 oz of flavored water, even if it takes a million tiny sips! 
We've been working in the yard and the garden a lot for exercise..it's working, I feel it in my hamstrings and calves...lots of squatting and kneeling pulling grass and weeds. Way more exercise than I was getting!
You are so right...we ARE worth the fight! Let's encourage each other like we used too!!!

I am with you 110% Dana. We all have to stick together to make this WLS journey a success and we ALL want everyone to be successful in losing and maintaining their WL. That is the HARD part but we all know....we can do hard things !!!! I almost always get in all my water ( usually alot more ) and never forget my vitamins. I have problems with food choices and lately lack of exercise. I am vowing to change all that though. Thanks for posting this. We are all " family" and have to all be here for one another !!!! Love ya !!!!
