I have been Hiding.....

Betsy, We will all have our ups and downs with our weight issues. GBS is just a tool. Believe me..if i could toleate sugar..and didn't dump so bad I would have tripled my weight back by now. And Girl Scout cookie season is coming up...Dear God help me too !!! I have put on a few lbs sitting around after surgery. You are not alone !!! Hugs and smooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooches, Dana

Aww Dana, You have done sooooo well. I am so proud of you. I wonder if I will ever get this baggage off of me!!! Nothing makes me sick or dump! I am fighting it but thank God I have my OH angels on my side. Thanks for being there for me, Sweetie. Hugs, Betsy

Hi Betsy I will include you in my prayers. Try cascara sagrada, it is a natural herb and it will help a great deal with your constipation. Raven

Hi Raven...Thank you for your advise. I will look for the cascara sagrada at the health store. I hope that helps. I will try anything at this point. Thanks for your prayers. Hugs, Betsy

Hello Betsy! I am glad that you are here. This place is a great place to get the support that you need. I may not post everyday, but I am lurking everyday....most days more than once. Anyway, if WLS could fix our "heads" along with our tummies, we wouldnt need each other to help us through the bad times. You know the rules...protein, water, vitamins, etc... You are on the right track, you have lost 10 pounds so far... You can do it. God bless!! Cathy

HI Cathy!! Thanks for your response. Yes, I agree with you...our heads need fixing along with the surgery! My problem is I turn to food for comfort when I am down...my addiction or drug of choice. Is there a good choice? Probably not. Anyway, I just have to keep praying and fighting this depression until it is gone. Thanks for your support. Love ya. Hugs, Betsy

Hello beautiful lady. I have missed you bunches. Depression is a terrible thing and hurts so many people. You have taken the first few steps by acknowleding that there is an issue and starting the fight to conquer. 10 lbs is s a great start. Keep it up. We love you and are here for you. Courtney

Hi there, Sweet Court....I have been missing you bunches too. Yes, depression isn't a nice thing to go through and it isn't me. I like to stay positive and not negative. It is an awful feeling. Thank you for being here for me....Well, off to spend a weekend with my favorite person, Jill ....I am sure she will lift my spirit! Hugs, Betsy

Hiyas Betsy, we have missed you too. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that your problems get resolved. It sounds like you are getting back on track though. I'm glad you came to us. We are here for you!!! Big ((((hugs)))) coming your way!!! Anna
