But I know it's not in vain, and I'm here for some reason if not to help others who need reversals, I just don't know what God's will is for me at this point. And I hope that it's not my time to go, although I know according to the doc in Texas I'm two yrs + out and Paige is less than one yr. I'm scared shitless actually to even consider it. If I lived closer I'd come clean your house for you just cuz you are a doll. Take care Janie

I know the look you speak of. I have been getting it for the last 7 months from non WLS savvy friends and fam. I think one of the reasons my daughter and I are having such a hard time right now is because she is so scared she is going to lose her only remaining parent also prematurely and her only way of protecting herself is to distance herself from me as much as possible. It hurts, but I understand it.

What I have found ironic is how I know when I look shitty, and yet peeps will insist, "NOOOOO, you look great!" and then a month later they'll say something like, "you are looking so much better than you did a month ago! You really didn't look good then at all!"

Janie, Tustin isn't all THAT far. Not that I want you to come clean my house, but hanging with like minded people is always a good thing. If you want to come for a weekend and hang around the pool sipping Isopure with me, I can put you up! Think about it seriously, I think it would be good for you to get to a place where your troubles are understood and you don't have to be brave for anyone's sake.

Thank you thank you thank you! I appreciate the kindness. I know it's not extremely far, but I have very limited energy, and I'm currently back to work. I work a ton of hours and the rest of my time is spent planning food, and sleeping. I sure do wish that sometimes I could curl up and die but I have to keep on. Seriously thanks again and sometime I might take you up on that. take care of yourself as well and glad things are looking up for you with your health as well. Janie
