I just had my gall bladder removed! its no big deal The pain from the attacks are so much worse. the gave me pain pills I stoped taking them the 2nd night. the docter told me its better to get them out at appointed time the having to come in some night at 3am for emerency surgery when were both tired! good luck!

The dreeded scale! I have been down that road ( haha ) Im, not laughing at you I thought I was the only one! I drove miles to find great medical scale. Don,t be fooled by the scale it goes up and down and so does your emotions.try only weighing your self first thing in the morning! after eating & drinking and Water you will go up as many as 6 or 7 pounds aday. then its gone the next morning. For me if Im, up a pound then I no I have to walk more in the day and watch my food intake......and burn it off! It can be a hard road WEIGHT LOSS but It sure is worth it. well good luck take care God bless.

thinking good thoughts & prayers for you!

My prayers are with you! Hope your day goes well.

Jodie it all take s time just hang in there There is an old saying God only gives you what you can handle....you will get there but it will take time!

head hunger is a tuff one..... You can beat it its a hard road 95% of the time I can control it. I have to force my self to eat some times and that is not good eather, the other 5% I, am like a shark looking for the candy or any thing sweet! Good luck next time your feeling that you have to eat something drink a large glass of Water it works for me! take care God bless.

Im so sorry to hear the verbal abuse that you are getting from your mother! It's so hurt full My dad was the same way only worse... my poor sisters got it the worest because they were older and Large Girls he would call them every fat F... word in the English language plus.. I never wanted you. there is so many! at about the early age I stoped taking with him, and would cross the street when I saw him coming down the road in frount of me......for many years then at 18 I was working up in Dutch harbor alaska on a fishing boat and in a phone call home found out he was dying so I came home. I went to talk with him he started to cry and gave hug told me he loved me for the first time then died in my arms.. the hurt was so bad that my older brother and one sister never even came to see him at the funaral home he was so full of hate he put them in the orphanage years early. I was to young. I think that verbal abuse is worse the getting hit with a fist. well again Im sorry to hear your pain. maybe try talking with her? Well take care Most of all God bless you! I will pray for your family and Mother.John
