Congratulations on your thirty days Trish. Keep on going. Glad to hear that you are starting a new program, Sorry to hear that you had to go through that with the last one, It is hard enough without dealing with a counselor that is unproffessional. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Continued success with your sobriety.

I am starting a new rehab outpatient program Tuesday. I had some serious issues with the counselor at my old rehab. I have to write them down and outline them for her supervisors, because she really did some things that I feel were totally unprofessional.
It has been quiet here, and I just wanted to give some good news.

"A chronic illness is a condition that lasts a year or longer, limits activity, and may require ongoing care. More than 125 million Americans have at least one chronic condition, such as diabetes, cancer, glaucoma, heart disease, Fibromyalga, Multiple Sclerosis, and Lupus. Nearly half as many have more than one chronic condition."
Hello,
This group was specifically created for WLS candidates and post ops who like me face the unique challenges that living with a chronic illness may often present. As individuals with a chronic illness, we face greater challenges that the typical mainstream weight loss surgery patient may not face. Sometimes we feel left out of the loop as we read about others who are doing certain activities that we are no longer able to fully tolerate.
You may find the group by clicking on groups in your index. Once at groups, type in the word Chronic Illness in the search box and the correct group will appear.
Thank you for your interest,

The slogan "Live and Let Live" can be extremely helpful when we are having trouble tolerating other people's behavior. We know for certain that nobody's behavior -- no matter how offensive, distasteful or vicious -- is worth the price of a relapse. Our own recovery is primary, and while we must be unafraid of walking away from people or situations that cause us discomfort, we must also make a special effort to try to understand other people -- especially those who rub us the wrong way. CAN I ACCEPT THE FACT, IN MY RECOVERY, THAT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAN TO BE UNDERSTOOD?
TODAY I PRAY
When I run headlong into someone's unpleasant behavior, may I first try my best to understand. Then, if my own sobriety seems threatened, may I have the courage to remove myself from the situation.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Live and let live.

Thank you ladies and gents,
So many of you have signed up for the recipe forum. Weve had over 120 just from OH join.
Ive gotten so many new recipes from all of you. I got a new new idea there for a talopia with black bean salsa that was awesome from one of your recipes.There are so many recipes now I could try a new one everyday for the rest of my life I think.
I have sent out over 120 invites now and I even won a mixer from Kitchenaid on tuesday for so many ppl joining. I dont need it since I already have 2. So I promised it to give it to a lady on here that recently lost her job and had signed up. I hope she enjoys it.

When we first stopped drinking, using, over-eating, or gambling, it was an enormous relief to find that the people we met in The Program seemed quite different than those apparently hostile masses known as "They." We were met not with criticism and suspicion, but with understanding and concern. However, we still encounter people who get on our nerves, both within The Program and outside it. Obviously, we must begin to accept the fact that there ARE people who'll sometimes say things with which we disagree, or do things we don't like. AM I BEGINNING TO SEE THAT LEARNING TO LIVE WITH DIFFERENCES IS ESSENTIAL TO MY COMFORT AND, IN TURN, TO MY CONTINUING RECOVERY?
TODAY I PRAY
May I recognize that people's differences make our world go around and tolerate people who "rub me the wrong way." May I understand that I must give them room, that some of my hostile attitudes toward others may be leftovers from the unhealthy days when I tended to view others as mobilized against me.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Learn to live with differences.

Try Miralax, Senna, DOSS(this is a stool softener) Milk of Mag. Warm Prune juice....ya I know it's nasty but my old folks swear by it. Try a combo of these things. Don't take them all. Maybe start with DOSS(Docusate Sodium) then do Miralax daily....helps me when I am stuck
I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!
Hugs,
Marie
