Hello, Ann and Beverly Jane! You have both made me feel a lot better. Nothing that I read or was told prior to the surgery prepared me for some of the experiences I'm having now, so I was convinced that somehow I was weird or doomed to failure. I can't tell you how much this website is helping me!
Beverly Jane, I see that I don't weigh as much as some here, but, at age 61, I have been fighting obesity for 55 years so maybe that helps to even things out. I'm a person who sets goals and then achieves them. This is one of very few that I have been unable to conquer. In spite of all that, it doesn't matter what I do or achieve, when people see those pounds....well, you know how they act. We're all in this together, and I'm glad I've found some friends to go through it with me.:biggrin:
