First Time Here!

Hi again!! I replied to your other post earlier!! lol Welcome to the Jan 2007 board!! I really enjoy this board and get lots of information and ideas here. It is good to be on line with ppl who had the surgery around the same time you did, because they are going thru things at the same time...so its great! I am 35, single parent to a 16 year old girl (lucky me) Sierra. I started a new job a little over a year ago and love it! I work as an HR coordinator at a call center and there is never a dull moment. My weight has been up and down since high school. But after my kid turned about 6 years old, I really started packing it on ( I ate my dinners and her left overs way too many times) and my highest weight was 327 as well!! Day of surgery I was 318 and I am now 279. I am happy I had this surgery too!! So, since the day of surgery 8 weeks ago I am down 39 pounds. And since 12-14 07 I am down a total of 48 pounds. Of course I am too am trying to slow down when I eat and be more conscience of portion sizes. One great thing about my job is that we have so many ppl here that are trying to develop heatlhier eating habits so I have a great support system. We also have several ppl who have had a surgery and I use them as resources all day!! Talk to you soon.

Hi Sandy- Yes, job sharing is AWESOME!!! Stephanie- How funny that we had the same "high" point. Sounds like your weight is coming off great! If you find the secret to slowing down while you eat, let me know! Belle

Will do!! Or if you find out the secret to eating slow first...let me know!! lol It is funny that we had the same high weight! I have a weight loss twin who was 327 the day of surgery so I guess we are triplets now!! lol

Hiyas Belle, Welcome to the January board!!! Glad to have you!! Congrats on your surgery and the great loss so far. You are doing awesome!! Anna

Thanks Anna! I am so glad I found this place! I wish I had known about it 10 weeks ago... Janie- How cool that there are several multiple mommas on here... I was not so happy when I first found out about the multiple pregnancy since it was supposed to be the third and final baby, but I cannot imagine life without my two little cutie pies.
