you can rant how ever way you feel. Know that we are here to listen. I hope things get worked out for you. Blessed Be 

Thanks for sharing, we are always here for you! xoxo 

Don't fake being upbeat if you're not! No one can have a cheery face all the time. We all have our up and down days, veggie. You're not alone. Thanks for sharing. ((HUGS)) you're going through so much. I really hope the best for you. 

Always be true to yourself buddy. The only REAL person who knows you inside-out, and can tell you that you're wonderful, is YOU! 

Wow....you got a lot going on there, Girl. Take a deep breath and try to do the best you can. If you feel the urge to rant again, we are here for you! Rant all you want! Sometimes it helps when you type it all out and let it go.  

I hope things get better....hugs to you. 

I hope you are feeling better. I find that it always feels better once you write down your thoughts. Don't ever be afraid to rant. We all go there now and then. <hugs> 

of course we are reading... we are here for you. Good to get it out somewhere else before you can possibly explode all over your hubby. :) question, are you still intouch w/ vicki, you should talk to her. she can understand you more than most of us here. try to remeber how good you felt on sb... you can control your symptoms w/ diet. don't let food win this one.. we need our veggies on fs!!! (you!)  

The body is amazing in its ability to hold fluid when it is not well. The body does that to protect and heal itself. The morning my son was born - I weighed 176. That night after his wonderful and miraculous birth I weighed 136. My son weighed just 7 pounds. The math indicates that my body was holding onto 34 pounds of water! I lost 34 pounds of fluid. Are you friends with Momof2Girls and madaboutmoose? These two have convinced me - in an indirect and non-intimidating way - NOT to weigh. So - don't weigh. Have you joined the strike against the scale? Perhaps you started that strike! He-he-he-he-he! I am trying to make you smile and laugh! Just take care of that beeeeeyooooooteeeeefuuuullll body! Okay? Okay! I love ya more than deep fried mushrooms Baby! And don't you forget it! 

wow, you have so much goin on you have permission to rant all you want. hope it all gets sorted soon, isnt it funny how that when one part of our bod plays up stuff happens in other areas as well? just concentrate on getting better, lots of kiwi hugs n kisses to youxxxxxxx 

Keep ranting. We are here for you. That's what this is all about. We care! 

Turn to us anytime, Veggies, especially when you're having a tough day or a down moment!!! It helps to clear your head. Surround yourself with friends and family who will support you. Health is not a game of solitaire. Support systems are essential to have success. We need people to encourage us when life happens. Let the people that you trust know what they can do to help you, whether it's providing company or doing something with you that is fun. You deserve the gifts of good health, energy, and happiness!!! Start your day tomorrow with self-regard and self-respect. When you are ready, you will lose weight. Peace, buddy!!! 

thank you everyone for your comments and words of wisdom...since i took on this second job 3 nights a week, i have neglected my inner self and now i think i have to make time to take it back...so back to yoga i go...will try for two times a week...thanks again...it is so encouraging to log on in the am and see soooo much support...i apprepricate each and every one of you.... ;-) 

veggies: I missed this yesterday for some reason. Before committing to taking any meds or to any dramatic procedures GET A SECOND OPINION, preferably, from the TOP spcialist in your area (wide area, look carefully for him/her). I know from experience, believe me, there are enormous differences in knowledge among doctors. I have seen people being told that they have six months left by one EXCELLENT doctor, only to be told by another that the previous doctor just is not aware of a particular procedure. Ten years later the person is still walking around. It happens ALL THE TIME. Put your research skills to work, get the best possible advice. Good Luck my dear friend.  

I'm sorry that you're going through such a stressful time. You're in my thoughts, I hope things work out for the best. 

Wow, Veggies. Lot on your plate, medically. I'm sorry to hear all this, but like you said, you don't want sympathy, so I won't give it. I'm proud of you for holding it together during this rough time. Hope you get everything sorted out. You're in my thoughts. 

I am so sorry to hear of your medical problems. I know how frustrating the process can be and hope you will come through it very soon and with flying colors. And you are not ranting...just stating the facts of the matter. No need to apologize for having some stresses in your life. That is what journaling is for! :) {{{hugs}}} 

I will watch you closely for the next few days. Good Luck veggies! 

ok back from yet another specialist...(im so sick of doctors)...he says that the energy, stomach issues, weigh gain, blah blah blah is all from not enough exercise...so he wants me to go to a club called the revolution fitness club and do a Vo2 test...he says that the reason im at my previous weight but not in the previous size is that after a certain point your body does a redistrubution of cells...and that this Vo2 test will tell where my new hot/lose it spots are and that will redirect my workout plan to attack what i need done now...will keep everyone posted...still having the endo scope done on friday the 21st...need to see what happens then...who knows...maybe just maybe i'll figure it out before i die...lol...that was a joke (seriously) 

I feel badly you are having to deal with all of this, the health issues, not knowing what is going on and what will be the diagnosis. Vent all you want, some times that helps. You have a lot of stress not knowing and having one thing after another to deal with. Hang in there, we are all here for you. And faking being upbeat is not the answer, it just makes a person feel more helpless and frustrated because of keeping it inside. I understand your hesitancy to share your frustrations but keep sharing, okay? ((hugs))
