New to board

Hello everyone, My name is Kim and I had gastric by-pass surgery on March 17th. I am 38 years old and I have 4 kids. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone who is on this weight loss journey like me. I wish everyone good luck and am anxious to support and be supported as we face the ups and downs of this new challange. Kim 228/204/140 sw cw gw

Hi Kim! I am 6 weeks out today. Everything is going well so far, no major hic-ups. I have been cleared to have all food types, but I am being SO careful. Protein and water, protein and water! Some days the water is difficult, but I know what dehaydration feels like and I don't want any part of it! This board is awesome, I have lived on it since my surgery and it has helped with the rough times since surgery and before. Katrina

Hi Kim, I am new to the website. Not quite familiar with how to set up my profile, but, all in good time. My surgery was 3/11/08 at Barix Clinic. Dr. Popcova was great. So were nurses, etc. Last night I went to my first Support Group Meeting (3rd Wednesday of each month). Wow! Lots of skinny people who swear they once were overweight!!!! Very helpful. Talked about all kinds of issues like accepting a compliment, seeing yourself as thin, etc. Can't wait to have some issues of my own.....Losing great. First time in my life it's fun to get on the scale. Hell, I let my husband see the scale, too. (First time in my 15 year marriage!) Due to go back for my 6 week checkup on Monday. Can't wait for an official weight loss.....Well wishing you all the best....Charmaine
