Ok, guys, I really need to get to one of these meetings. Unfortunately, I am going away the 14-16, but the next meeting after that I will definitely be there. I have been going through some really hard times I need support. I had to take my 2 year old and leave my husband because of some abuse issues, I am finishing my Master's degree, and still trying to nanny to make some money to survive. My weight has definitely been suffering. I weighed 243 at surgery (July), and I now weigh 237. That is very hard for me, I feel so depressed like I will always be fat no matter what. I know I need to eat better, but it's like I have no control. I think I will feel better with people who know my ordeal around me? So, if anyone has any words of encouragement, I could sure use them. And I will see you at the next MD meeting, wherever it be.
