Topic: Eating too much?????
Ok, what is going on with me.  I had the gastric bypass on May 21st, but I swear I'm eating more than I'm supposed to.  I thought that I would feel full before I actually am feeling full.  It seems that I can eat more than they say I'm supposed to.  Am I stretching my stomach?  Nothing hurts, when I feel full I do stop, I have lost 14 lbs as of this past Friday.  Or, should I just stop with all the drama?  I go to my first support group meeting tomorrow evening, I guess I can ask then, but I would like to know anyway.....did anyone else go thru this?

Block him if you can. Since he's deactivated, he probably has been banned by OH, but still report him (if you can).

Good luck, and remember not all men are scum. Just some of us. I mean .. D'OH!!!!!
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Topic: TUESDAY GRATEFUL POST
  Good Tuesday Morning Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a good week.   Mine has been uneventful for the last couple of days and trust me....that is GOOD !!!   We ALL have so very many things in our lives to be grateful for everyday.   I can just hear some of you saying....I'm not losing weight right now....I'm at a stall....I am not getting to have my surgery when I want it...etc.   But you can't govern gratefulness on what happens to us....after all Life is a GIFT....we have no guarantees of tomorrow here on earth.     I am grateful for waking this morning...even though I woke with a headache and I hate them....Life is going to be great today....I am claiming that !!!!   I am grateful for everyday and everything that comes my way.   I am trying really hard not to let the numbers on the scale determine if my day is good or bad.    I am grateful SO grateful for my WLS and the weight that I have maintained and kept off for the past almost 7 yrs.    We determine whether we are going to have a good or bad day....so go out and make it a AMAZING one !!!!   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Topic: RE: confused
 I had RNY going on 7 yrs. ago.   I have a niece who had lapband 2 yrs ago.   She lost 150 lbs and has kept it off.   ALL the WLS work but as Kim said you have to work them right ....too bad there isn't a "one size fits all" WLS.    I am with Tom...do your research.   I HATE it when people fight about what WLS is the BEST !!!   They are ALL Equal IMHO....you do have to pick to try to pick the best one for your lifestyle and needs.   I researched the band but chose the RNY due to it would be better for my lifestyle.    Good luck to you on your decisions.

 So sorry that you experienced this.   Trust me...there are MANY MEN on this website doing that.    I would report it to Member Services.     Sad thing that these creeps can do this.    Please don't leave OH though....It is a amazing webiste !!!!

Topic: MONDAY GRATEFUL POST
  Happy Monday Everyone,

We ALL have so very much in our lives to be grateful for.    I'm sorry I'm posting this so late today.   My oldest son borrowed my youngest son's laptop for 6 weeks so We have to share my laptop.   My youngest son is a college student who is going to school year round so there will be days in the next 6 weeks where I might be posting my posts later than normal.   I'm sorry if that inconviences anyone.  Today I am so grateful that I have a working computer and that I am able to post here on OH.    Grateful for my Faith and that God is still answering prayers and has allowed me to stay on this earth longer due to my WLS.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.   Have a blessed day today.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Topic: Trolls?
Imagine my surprise to log in this morning and find that a "deactivated member" had sent me a message and wa****ting on me.  It's funny, you would think that with my low self esteem ANYONE propositioning me would make me feel good about myself, but with this guy.... It just felt nasty.  Who knew people trolled the obesity websites looking for women??  lol
