[Guest guest]

Thank you and . I do look forward to reading about everyone

everyday, and the success of others is what keeps my hope high.

I know I have been a little over sensitive lately, as my weight has been

creeping up again little by little, after a 10 pound loss the last month. I

hardly lost anything since August, then wham in October I dropped 10 pounds,

only to have since gained back 11. I have been sticking to protein mostly

too. I was accepting the fact that this is where I might stay, which is ok,

but to gain is a horrible feeling. I went through this just 11 months ago

before my revision, and I have a great fear that I will gain again, which I

know is possible for me, because of my weird body. I am going to take

Nick's advise-Thank You Nick- and contact another surgeon for another

opinion if I do start to gain and not lose it. I am not however ready to

throw in the towel,and I am going to try to keep my chin up.

Thank you for the support,

Patti
