Re: Surgery 11/18/03... I'm Gaining Weight...THANKS EVERYONE!!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Everyone for sharing your knowledge, understanding and

advice. It's amazing, but I did not exercise yesterday and I dropped

a pound. Go figure!

It is frustrating sometimes to try to figure out what to do and what

not to do. Seeing the scale go up, just causes me to panic. I've

watched the scale creep up for so many years, now when I think that

it can do nothing but go down, it creeps back up again.

Thank you for all of your kind responses and your understanding.

There is nothing like sharing with others that have been there or are

currently where you are.
