Hello March 06 board!

Hi everyone!!! I decided to sneak a peak at your board...I am a March 07 person and just had my surgery last Friday 3/23! I needed to come on here to remember exactly why I did this and it has helped to read your posts and profiles!!! Today is the first day I have felt better and I'm looking forward to feeling "normal" again! I know this will pass and appreciate you sharing your photos and journey's to help us that follow you out! Sincerely, Rita Spires

Hi Rita, You are welcome here anytime. I wish I would have known about the surgery date forums when I first started out. It's great to be able to look at other's expierences and know that you will soon be in their place. You will have an interesting ride with it's ups and downs. It gets better over time and it is so worth it. Congratulatons on taking the first step in this journey. Let us know if we can be of any help to you. Life is great, Rick

Hi, Welcome! Glad you stopped by! You will slowly start to feel better and better each day and soon you will be flying high and reveling in your new life and new you! Try not to push yourself too hard at first. It's almost impossible to get ALL your liquids in for awhile....took me a few months. So go easy and try to stay as active as you can Happy Losing to you!

Congrats and welcome. You are a Marcher too, just a different year. We can look at it like the zodiac. It took me about a month to feel really normal but then I just started feeling better and better and along with the weight loss it has been great.! Good Luck Mary

Good luck on your journey MJ
