First time to this Forum

Hi folks, It just occurred to me that I should check out this surgery anniversary forum. Just popped in and realized that Karen S. from Hawaii is also here. This makes sense because she and I have a couple of other groups in common. I am now down 75 pounds, as a Lightweight, I am well over half way to goal. But the moving scale is being tuff right now. One day up a pound next day the same pound is gone. Not really staying in one place. I've increased my protein of late my labs showed I was a little borderline in that area. But still have problems getting in enough water when I get busy outside of the house. Way to easy to forget when I'm shopping or working hard on some kind of project. I really do best on the days spent at home! I'm glad to meet folks with similar surgery dates! Linda W.

Welcome Linda and you are getting very close to your 6 month anniversary. Glad you stopped by to see this group. I haven't been in here lately and in fact I have been bad, I need to go in and update my profile but I was so busy and part of the time I was so sick that I didn't have time to update but now that the holidays are over and things are starting to slow down I need to get that done. Hope to see you in here more often and congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work. Sonya

Hi Linda! Welcome to the board. Katrina

Thanks for the warm welcome! I hesitate to get on too many of these boards as then I have problems keeping up with all the post and responding to folks. Linda W.

Hi Linda, I like this board because we're all pretty much going through the same things at the same time, more or less, because we have similar surgery dates. Welcome and enjoy! Crystal 262/174

Hi Linda, I'm new to this board also. I peruse the whole website, but mostly just read what others say. Anyway, I'm in the Waco area and saw you are a local, so I wanted to say hi.

Bridget, thanks for the welcome, we are practically neighbors! I live at the Mound, just a bit West and South of you. I recently wrote to Obesity Help about the prospect of starting a OH Support Group in our area. As I could see none that were affiliated to OH in this area. Let me know if you are interested in such a local group. I have some homework to do before I can actually apply, like update my profile, etc. Then a little money involved, but in return they will provide lots of training. Linda Woods
