New to this forum

Hi All,

I can't believe that I didn't know that this forum existed. I look forward to getting to know others who are at about the same place in their journey as I am in mine.

I have lost all of my excess weight and am struggling a bit with trying to reconsile the skin stuff. I also am having a bit of trouble 'trusting' my weight loss ... i.e., I recently was in NY and bought my clothes a size too big because I didn't want to be wasting my money. I hope that these insecurities will fade with time.

I'm active with the support group associated with my program and I run a support group on OH and have a large one in my community that meets once a month.

That's all for now... Again, I look forward to getting to know you.

 It's my own fault.. cause I don't do outside. I hate heat!!
  Once again.  Welcome!!   Alice

Hi Alice,

Thanks for the warm welcome. I think that I stumbled on this forum once before very early on, but there wasn't much going on and I lost my way back. I'm glad I found it again and look forward to getting to know you and others on this forum.

Hopefully you'll be able to get out and about more now that the milder fall weather is with us.

Take care and thanks again,

Barb

 Barb,

Welcome aboard!!  Looks like you have had great success with your tool.  I think the clothes shopping is pretty common... I know I do the same, when I can bring myself to even shop!!  I dread shopping because I don't really have any idea what size I am!!

I too go to my local support group meetings.  I never miss it!!  We meet twice a month and I think the meeting really keep me on track.

The board has been slow lately.... but I know on my end, I have just been so busy with work.  Hopefully people will keep popping in and posting.

Hi Sherri,

I was just talking with a friend who also had WLS a little over a year ago and she was saying that she too hasn't figured out what size she is. I told her that I have found going to consignment stores where I can try on a large number of items from a number of different manufacturers ... and where the rarely limit the number of items you take in to try on ... has been a great way for me to find which designers/manufacturers, sizes and styles work best for me.

I look forward to getting to know you over time.

Thanks for the lovely welcome.

All the best,

Barb
