I am going to appologize to anyone that had something rude or hurtful to say about my last post. I am sorry that I went on a rant about not getting a response. I was having a bad day and when those days come up I turn to this board for the support I need to get me past whatever is going on.. I do read other post and even more so now that people have made it known that I should do that before posting anything. This is a forum for support right? I needed support and I felt like it wasn't there when I needed it. Now that I look back at it. I shouldn't have posted something that was going to cause such a fit. My remark about "stupid questions" was just that a remark. We all say things that we don't mean to say at times "that's life". My stall has passed and I have lost 3 lbs over the past week. I changed NOTHING!! I kept doing what I had been doing since the beginning and it passed on it own. Thanks for the Positve Support from those of you that provided it.

Glad to hear your dropped 3 more! It's always nice to break a stall but sadly, they do happen from time to time.

Yes, you're right. There is an enormous wealth of information reading this board.

I hope you saw that I too apologized for my snappy remark back- your post just hit me wrong when so many people give so much and I had see your problem addressed so thoroughly. Still, I should not have come down on you- we are a support system and that was SO not supportive!

Glad you have broken your stall- and you have lots of tips now should you reach another one.

What is a big happy family without a few spats here and there? We all have our bad days and I was happy to see how many people jumped in to comfort you instead of the flaming that would have occurred on a lot of forums! :grouphug:

Glad to hear you broke your stall. I find that if I just keep going it breaks. I have also found significant (about 3-5 ibs) weight gain my TOM and a short stall during ovulation. It is like clockwork for me.

MommyTawnie,

Your weight loss is fantastic. Keep doing what you are doing. This forum is supposed to be for support. However, people are emotional creatures. A little vent now and then never hurt anyone, as long as we all come back to our senses fairly quick .LOL

Have a Great Day,

Michelle

Glad your stall broke, glad you didn't change anything, glad it's over and hope you know that you can vent about them here. I think it's an emotional journey, and if you don't get replies, contact someone via the private message system. I've always been quick to reply to messages, and like I said, I can't see every posts, it's just not possible. If you thought the replies were negative, I apologize, but my reply was intended to be helpful to let you know that stalls are discussed on here, and if your post doesn't get the replies you're looking for then seek out the information.

Support comes in many forms, your initial post was pretty much telling us that have been here for almost 2 years contributing to this forum day in and day out, that we suck because your post got lost in the 200 plus new posts that hit this forum daily. I'm really sorry that a forum of several thousand members wasn't there for you, but in reality, I've always told anyone and everyone they could contact me privately if they needed something.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
