If the board is not used much - let's change it!

Hi All, I have been reading some posts and it seems to be a common theme (or complaint) that this board is not used much -so the support is limited. Well as my priest says - "if you are not getting what you are looking for - look at what you are putting in" I would be willing to post a "Question of the Day" to start the conversation and get to know each other. I would hope this would naturally start some great relationships between us- and some great support. What do you think? Lori

Lori, Great idea! I visit the board almost every day-just to see if something new has come up. Thanks for taking the initiative! Lisa

Hi lori, I have been coming on this site for 17 months. I had my surgery on nov. 15 2005. I'm doing great too. I am down from 253 to 127-128. I feel great. I do alot of lurking on the main board and here. I also go on the nov. site. I don't allways remark because people say the same thing that I would have said anyway. But I do look and listen to some of the advise out there. So I will come here more often and write. I am from spencer wi. just 5 miles from marshfield if you know where that is. talk to you later.

I agree with you lori . Great observation. I will try to post a preop question and a post op.Or things I wish knew. Pre op I wish I would have known how gross protein powder was and to not stock up on it. Post op I wish I wasnt so unmotivated and didnt do my exercises to help me lose the most weight I could the first 6 months .

Lori, This is awesome! Thank you! I pretty much posted that the board isn't visited much because I never saw anyone posting in here. I didn't want people to post something and have their questions go unanswered. I didn't bother me that the site wasn't visited very often for myself as I go to the MN site as I will be having surgery there, so there are others that have had the same surgeon, etc. I hope that this will get people out on the board...it's a great place to find friendship and support from people who know what you are going or have gone through. Take care and again, Thanks! Pam
