JUST NOT SURE

           Ok, ,here it goes.. Not sure if I will come back to this site ... I have been on here for a while now and I have posted some.. I dont feel comfortable on this site. I post my comments and I even answered people on the clothing exchange and NO one answers me back.. I mainly came on here for support and to get some dieting tips.. BUT this site isnt working for me.. IF no one answers me .. then why bother? I do have alot of comments about WLS>> and i have read most of everyone posts about it.. and I will NOT comment about anything anymore.. I am sorry if this offends anyone. I came here to get support but no one will be friendly to me.. So, congrats to all the had WLS.. and to all that have dieted and got to their goal.. KEEP up the good work . I will continue to just be me and if  that means to be fat.. then so be it..  rhonda

Hey Rhonda Have you tried posting on the main board? this is my first time on this forum, but I just wanted to say I am sorry if you have had a bad experiance and I just wanted you to know that there are some truley wonderful people here.  I just want you to know that there is a friendly face here and some one that will offer you some support!!!  I hope to hear back from you, God Bless Melissa 

Rhonda, I am sorry if I offended you in anyway.....when I looked back through the posts you have made on this board though there seems to be a number of replies.  In a few cases the thread seems to go in a different direction than what you had originally posted, but it did receive numerous post. I hope that you realize there are only a few of us on this non-op board and are on at different times of the day.  I'm sure nobody here meant to slight you in anyway, but sometimes activity is just slow and there are not many posters. Once again I apologize if you have felt excluded and I hope you coontinue to come back to offer and receive support!

Hi, Rhonda I am sorry you  feel so slighted.  Sometimes it just takes time.  The first few times I posted I didn't get many responses either.  I also read through your previous posts.  There aren't too many people in here and of those I don't think many have had the same experiences as you and so do not post. (I am specifically referring to your upcoming hysterectomy).   Perhaps you could try posting on the main board as well as this one.  It gets a lot more traffic and you are more likely to find someone with similar problems.  When it's really slow in here that's what I do.  Read what sounds interesting on the main board and check back here every 10 minutes or so to see if anyone has added anything. Also you might try putting something on your profile.  It helps for people to get more of an idea of who you are and where you are coming from.

Hi Rhonda, I just joined OH last week so I'm very new here.  I noticed right away that this forum is rather slow but that's because this site is geared towards people who have had WLS, want to have WLS or are trying to make a decision on whether or not they want to have it.  So, it didn't strike me as strange that the Non-Surgical Weight Loss forum would be a bit slow.  With the exception of the heated debate that went on yesterday, of course.  From what I've just read in your posts, it seems that this is the forum you should be in since you make no bones about being anti-WLS.  I agree with the poster who said that it might be a good idea to put a little background information in your profile.  I think people feel a little more comfortable when they know a little something about you.  I posted an introductory post that I feel was well received.  And, even if I post something and get no responses I know that people are reading it by the number of "views" it gets.  I'm sure that the longer I'm on this forum and interact with people by responding to posts, that I will start to forge some friendships.  It just takes a little time I think.  At this point no one has requested to be one of "my friends" but I'm certainly not offended by it, I'm sure I'll make friends as time passes.  I hope you decide to stick around, but if not, I wish you well.  And, good luck in your weigh tloss journey.
