Thank you to all of you! I am trying really hard and everyday I feel more and more better! Hope all of you are doing well!

~hugs~ thank you for sharing...congrats to you....

So happy for you....and I know what you mean....it feels so good not to be controled by food...

Thank you for the great laugh. Sorry to hear you're having a bad morning.
Throw a snow ball at someone you hate and you'll feel better.

No snow in NC!

You are very funny. I am sorry you're having a bad day.
I hate blood so don't show me any.
You can have my snow and the snow that is coming back tomorrow.

this was just funny to me and its sad at the same time as it is also is partially true as some of these questions are asked and you have to wonder, do they really listen to the seminar, the dr, the nutritionist or are they just going through the motions to have the surgery??
the magical surgery..its magical if you use this valuable surgery correctly.
that choice is up the the person

Grammy you crack me up...did you at least put some melted cheese on the chips...you know protein first !!!

I hope you covered them chips with lots and lots of melted cheese...
Youknow the rules..protein first !!!

I watched that show. They talked about everything we talk about here. They even talked about ppl think WLS is taking the "easy way out".
We need our own reality show! lol

~hugs~ Jim...so sorry to read this..
I was adopted at age 7 by the best Dad in the world..( the mom had lots not to like) but my sister and I loved that man more then any words could ever say...When he was ill and on hospic my sister and I sat talking and I wondered out loud...wow as much as Daddie loves us can you imagine how it would of been if we were his bio children...OMG....now that Im older and have 2 bio children and 5 adopted children...I can see how my Dad couldnt of loved us any more then he did....there isnt a differance in the love between a bio or a adopted child.....and for my Dad adopting my sister and I was one of the best things he ever did he would tell us....and for my hisband and I adopting our children was the best thing we ever did...God Bless you in your journey .....

The only exersize I do is walking... I got a fitbit and that really helps to motivate.and its really doing the job for me....
Good Luck with any moving !!!

Im going to copy this and put it on my bathroom mirror....
~hugs~ thanks AJ

i feel you flo and i am so glad to know you and call you a friend.
i get pm's also and answer and then after i offer whatever i can
to encourage or suggest, its crickets. i guess sometimes i hit a nerve with my straight talking no BS answers, but i wasted enough time with doing that.
so, not much we can do.
so on behalf of everyone, thank you for being you
and encouraging everyone on this forum. whether or not
some thank you or not, i sure do. so please accept that from me on behalf of those who do not say it.

Well Floridays if I ever PM you (and I am sure I will sooner or later) and don't respond back to your answer I am sorry. I am on here daily and generally the first thing I do is look for you and a few others posts. I don't even know you all and you have helped me so much. I feel I should be sending you a thank you daily just for your posts. your answers, comments and blogs are usually spot on and full of common sense. I have surgery two weeks from today. yay I look forward to using you and others as my inspiration, motivation and knowledge as I take this journey. Thank you thank you thank you.

I have learned a lot from you and others on this site. Thank you all. I try to help others with my journey even though it is shorter than yours. Each of us have learned through our own progress and failures. Tonight I was full and wanted something but had nothing because I don't want to fail.
Thank you again for your views and pics of your surgeries.

Their loss, not yours. Good on you for putting yourself out there for people. At the very least, each time you tell your story to someone else, you are reminding and reinforcing to yourself just what has worked so well for you and that has got to make it easier to keep on doing what works!

They don't like your answer that's why. They are looking for your secret lose weight quick scheme. They don't want to hear do this, don't do that, but I do. Thanks for all your advice. You always give me hope and I appreciate all your efforts to help us. Their loss!

You know how to word things....~hugs~
