Jeane the end of May will not work for me. I'll be in mama mode and Grammy mode. I have to be in Chicago to take care of Vinnie and my pregnant daughter. We are leaving again May 31st. I'll be in Chicago at beast five weeks. My new baby is probably going to be born around June 18.

Just a short comment and don't want to belabor the point.
I too, after I posted, saw the posts that ' be careful we don't know who he/she is'.
Strangely I had been a regular poster for some years and then fell away. Wanted to return back but thought, NO, I don't think so. I don't have anything on my ' home page' because am a v. private person.
I do lurk and enjoy the posts but will not join again.
All the best to all of you.
My post disappeared. I won't repeat it all but I will say that I am pledging to drink more water also. Have had about 24 ounces so far.
Hi ,
We have 3 cats total. Everyone of them is so very special.

Linda,
Thank you for kind words, but don't worry about that. Really. I found this forum app 2012 or 2013...so I was hardly new to OH or internet posting. Seen some of harsh responses... This forum - I just feel ignored. And that Really is OK.
The PM I got - I did not take it personally. Sometimes people are trying to protect their circles... And I was a stranger. I don't believe it was done with ill intend.
I still found this forum very interesting. People share real life's... I liked how most of you conected.
I am 55 ..and over my life I learned you can't please everyone...and you can't be friends with everyone. Not that I would ever want that anyone. And I try not to take rejections personally.
I am rather opinionated... English is not my first (or even second) language, plus I typically use the tablet ...so my posts often have spelling - grammar mistakes. (hope most of us can ignore that - right?)
But like with every group- sometimes you don't feel you input is wanted, or needed... So I respectfully stayed away from posting.
I am active on other forums... ,
I really have no resentment or bad feeling towards anyone in this group....
BTW- my name is Hala, I am an engineer, working for a small company. I try to reasearch everything to "death", and over the years get more confused with what to eat not eat post op any WLS...
my profile is visible to friends only, but I do accept friends requests from others. So if you guys want to check my posting history, either "friend me" or just reach my posts...
I am sometimes honest to a fault, and I often chose not to say anything than say something mean.

I am appalled that you were treated so poorly. I have been on and off this board over the last 10 years or so. I know there have been times when folks disagreed with each other but I would never have guessed that a newbie was treated with anything less than respect. I brought up the lurker issued but only because I was truly curious about the very large number of reads vs. posters. We are interested in each others lives but also in WLS issues. Sometimes we get bogged down on the personal side for awhile but we eventually remind ourselves why we came here in the first place. Please join us. We have been talking about our WLS experiences, our strategies for making good choices and our short term goals lately and I am sure you could contribute good ideas that we would love to try.
Hope to hear from you.
Would love to do a get-together but I am running out of vacation time. So I'm going to have to pass. Have fun, folks.
Sorry you did not feel welcome. I don't have grandkids or kids either. Just a cat. I too sometimes don't have the time or energy to post daily; I work full-time. I often read posts but don't post.
