- I have been feeling down and grumpy lately... Which is NOT normal for me. I have gotten B's this term, which I am pleased with as I've been struggling since transferring to U of OI have lost a few pounds since starting the preop dietI am on spring...
- Just thought I'd update you all to Punkeybear... She is still in the hospital! Awaiting her next surgery... they had to get her well nourished before she could have it done.... She is so awesome! She still is managing good spirits! Send some...

- My poem made it to the final ten for the winter poem contest!!! Please go and vote for one of the top ten! Of course, i hope you vote for me, but i'd rather you vote for the one you think is best :)
- I was popping in here awhile back from another DS support group... And told everyone how I was worried I would not pass a "I quit" urine test at docs. I did pass the test and swore I would no longer have the occasional cig... I did good for awhile....
- Reading posts lately, and then the article eggface (shelly) posted, has gotten me thinking... We all know WLS will improve our quality of life in many little and big ways... Less pain, more confidence, etc. But lets explore what it DOES NOT fix.......
- Hey all!If you get a chance, please send Punkeybear a hug or a message, or heck, both! She is at 13 weeks and 3 days in the hospital now.... I just cannot imagine what shes going thru up there! Here's a link to her page.......
- So I have this crazy idea of a bunch of us meeting in person... someplace central to all of us in on the idea. We can start saving out pennys... and plan on a meet like 12 - 18 months down the road.... Say summer of 2014? Who'd want to do this????...
- The other day I told ya'll I wrote a poem.... well, they won't stop rolling out of me!! LOL!! I think I may have found an avenue for me to heal myself thru... It's so funny cause I always wanted to try my hand at writing poems, but never thought I...
- Ok... so might sound silly, but I have real thin hair on top of my head. I am resigned to losing more after surgery... I can live with it, and besides, it should come back... but while it's thin... I am thinking I might purchase a wig... But I know...
- I've read many posts lately about feelings of guilt for deciding to have surgery... It's got me thinking.... (scary, I know!)Now I am still preop... so I for sure don't have all the answers, but I can say this... I NEVER EVER thought I'd be someone...
- Well... I did it. I entered the DS poem contest I've been hearing about... If you wanna see, here's the link :)http://www.dailystrength.org/groups/dailystrength-winter-affirmation-contest/discussions/messages/15799030It's the first time I've even...
- Found out today that even wt loss won't do much help my ankle, according to my ortho... I had surgery (reconstructed 2 tendons into 1) abt 2 yrs ago and have struggled with walking on the outside of it to the point it's painful and throws my gate...
- This is probably going to come out all hodge podge... but I am going to try and put into words what's been rolling around in my head! Scary plan, I know! :)For the preops, or those who want to dig into the past... Do you feel at times like you are...
- Just wanted to ask all of you to send best wishes to Punkey Bear! As you know, she's been in the hosp for over 9 weeks now up in Canada... And today she had a 2 part surgery to see if they can finally get her fixed up! She is quite a ways away from...
