WB Thank you for this post. I bookmarked it.

Dear Alexandra, Was thrilled to see your "healthy head" and your minus six pounds. Continued success and I will check in on you. Be well, Clarice

Dear Alexandra, Having battled weight all my life, I relate to everything you're saying and I feel your pain 200%. I too am hesitant about giving advise, however, I am compelled to share some thoughts: Put yourself first, love yourself and keeping reminding yourself of where you want to be and what you need to do to MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY. You know only you can control what you eat and you have to have the mindset to eat only what's nutritionally necessary to live. Eat to live healthy, vs. live to eat. It is so so so hard. That's a definite. But a future of health issues and unhappiness will be devastating. Please don't let it happen. Clarice

Hello Sheree, First congratulations on your surgery date. I wish you total success in your journey to your goal. Your post motivated me to post a reply. This is the first time I've posted on this site. I totally understand what you mean because I access another obesity website and post from time to time without receiving a response. I feel it's a sure bet that it isn't personal. Whichever site I've been on - 99% of the time people are supportive, informative and compassionate. Since I really don't know how to navigate this site, I am going to try to find your previous posts and find out when your date is and go from there. By the way, my date is June 6th. All my friends are asking me if I am nervous and I keep saying no, but for some reason a mini case of the nerves seem to be creeping up on me. Hope to chat with you very soon. Clarice
