I'm really disappointed

I am really new to this board but fill like I jumped in with both feet to participate.  I think it is pretty sad when you post that you are neeeding a little extra support especially during the 5dpt and 50 somthing people look but only 4 respond.  well actually as of now i have 6 responces but i think 2 of those are me thanking those that responded.  prob the ones that looked will be posting questions of their own later and EXPECT responces which I plan on giving.  just pretty sad.  And you should be ashamed of yourself.  I was not asking for suggestions persay just a little hang in there and stuff like that! Denise 

Oh and I am in NO way talking about the post asking people to vote for my baby.  That was just something I thought I would ask IF people wanted to take the time to do.  I am talking about the post where I felt like I was falling off the wagon today.  WHICH I did not thanks to others offering either advice or just support. Denise

I was one of those people who saw your post about falling off the wagon and didn't post anything partly because I realized I was 2 hours later but partly.. I was like "DANG,.I didn't make it to day two, what words of wisdom do I have?" So I'm sorry about that, I know what it's like needing a quick "help me before I slip!" thing. So, how did you do? did you make it past the moment? I hope you did great! But if not, don't feel ashamed to let us know, most of us don't judge little glitches in human behavior lol. but for you I do hope you made it through! and if so, how did you do it?! Leslee

Leslee, I have not been on this board much past a week and I see all the support you offer and give around here!  You need not worry.  It just ****** me off to see that 50 people look at a post and 2 actually post.  When all you need is a quick "hang in there" lol lol  I did make it through.   THANKS!!!!!!!!!! Denise 

I've totally become an OH junkie! I needed something to kind of replace  all the time I was spending with Mr vodka which was killing my calorie limit, my work outs, and well, killing ME. So this and tallying up what I'm eating and what I'm exercising on dailyplate has really helped fill the "void" and has become my new "addiction". I've stopped drinking alcohol completely, count my calories and work out. I stopped gaining weight and have even lost a few pounds since I found this website. I hope to see a lot of you around here! And I wish us both GREAT success! Leslee

Hi Denise, I wouldn't take it too personally that you didn't get as many responses as you wanted. Although, 6 responses is pretty good! When I'm at work, I can read the posts but often can't reply. I'm sure if it was a truly urgent matter, more people would have responded. The good news is that you made it through a rough patch. Keep up the good work. Day 3 is going to be much easier!

I truly do NOT take it personally.  It ****** me off for anyone to post something just needing a quick response not really any knowledge or anything and for 50 people to look at it and only a few to respond.  TRUST me we face this each and every day on the pg forum.  lol lol  You are very right it is important that I made it through the rough patch.  BUT everyone thinks their rough patch is urgent to them although someone else might not!  I am just talking about a little consideration.  And remember next time it just might be you (not you you.  lol lol) that might need a quick pick me up! Thanks! Denise

Hi there, I am a newbie to OH.  I am one of those people that look but dont respond.  I have not had my surgery yet but I like to look and see everyones thoughts and views on WLS.  Everyone tells me to look at all forums and postings, so please do not think that we are all just looking and not wanting to support you because heaven knows when it comes time for me to have my surgery I too will be looking for as much support as possible.  I understand that this is a forum for people that have had their WLS quite some time ago so I just like to look and see your views and different things that everyone is going through.  I guess you could say that just looking at this time has been easing my mind and helping me to make this life altering decision.  I commend all of you for coming as far as you have  and I too hope to be where you are with your WL one day. Cheryl

Cheryl, I want to wish you luck on your upcoming surgery.  I assume you have it coming up?  You did not mention that.  Anyway best of luck to you.  This entire site is so very very insiteful.  I understand how just lurking can really ease your mind or really answer some question without you having to ask.  I hope you will come out and post more! Denise

Hi Denise, thank you for your kind words.  I am still waiting for a surgery date.  I'm sure it will be soon enough. But for know I like knowing that these forums are here and I have felt so much better reading everyones experiences.  It is a very stressful surgery to go through from what I have read but for the health reasons before surgery its well worth it.  I definitely will post more now that I know how kind and understanding most are here.  Cheryl
