"They" said I'd gain it all back.... are "they" right?

Hang in there, Lith. I hope today is a better day. It sounds like you're doing everything you can do to figure out what's going on.

It's nice to see so many of our fellow RNY class of '08 giving you their support. Keep us posted!!

Hugs!!

That's great - I like it too (even though I barely squeezed in at the end of the year....)

=)

It's good to have people here that you feel like you "know".  I don't have any idea what would happen if I logged on and there was no Lora, no Kelly, no Nik or Lithia or some of the others.  I do know that I was off for a while and have come back to no Lithia and sometimes no Kelly and I always worry myself sic****il they log back on.

So GLAD all of you guys are still here.

Wow Deb - I guess you are!

You are always so wise about everything that I just assumed you were a couple of years ahead of me; don't think I ever even looked closely at your date!

BTW, how is the transplant working out?  Do you feel lots better?  I sure  hope so=)

I like your new avatar. Of course I've always thought of you as one of those naturally beautiful people,visually as well as your character. I don't think I've ever read any of your messages and not come away feeling like you care.

And yes, the class of '08 sure has rallied round. I knew I would get support. But it took me a lot to be able to put it out there. It's so frustrating.

I was thinking about "Why does it make me feel frustrated".... aside from the whole gaining weight when I shouldn't. I realized inside that a big part of it is because it took a lot of effort and focus to lose weight. It became my hobby. It took effort. It was the focal part of my life for a long time. Part of me doesn't want to go back to those days of unremitting concentration on losing weight.

Lith -

I wish I knew WTH is up but I am at a loss. Thank you for always being honest here and providing a smile when needed or just some good input.

As far as exercise, I will be honest and tell you I'm not sure how much I would have regained at this point without it. It's all I can do right now to be my 143 which is a bit above my threshold. I just keep praying it really is muscle as my clothes fit the same and stuff but geez, for real?

Keep your head high cause you have so much to be proud of!

Be happy.
