Newbie to the board

Hey everybody, Just thought Id drop in to see what this forum is all about,You can say I am new to this board. I myself had my surgery on Dec.12th.I had my surgery done in Sedalia,Missouri by Dr.Horbostel who I thought gave me a new life as we speak.He is a heck of a surgeon and if I had a choice would do it all over again. Well, Anyways on my surgery date I was at 412lbs and now I am at 308lbs a little over a 100lbs loss,I wish I could say I do my excersises but I havn't due to back problems,so all this weight I've lost is due to eating very little as I dont really care for it like I used to.I do eat a bowl of salad in the morning and a couple of tamales in the Evening, Everyday like clockwork,Oh' and a protein shake in the morning and one at night. I am still trying to eat other meat but just cant,It just doesn't go down to well,so I don't even try anymore not for a long while. Well,enough babbling about myself,now I found others who had their surgery around the same time as me,thats just awsome.I will for sure add this to my favorites so I can come in everyday to say hi...So hi everyone!!! Tony

Hey T, Welcome to the board. Congrats on the 100+ loss, that is awesome. I am up late at the moment and a bit ill so I am gonna bid adieu for now but will catcha later. Just wanted to say hi and welcome. Brina

Hi Sabrina, Thanks for the congrats and welcome.

Brina, Get better! *hugs* Monday is support group. Dragging my cousin with me this month.

Hey Tony, Over 100lbs..........awesome. I hear you on the excersise. I get out and walk a couple times a week. I have been able to eat meat. I stay FAR away from any types of carbs....except whats in my milk. Have to have my fat free milk for my protein shake. I have been tracking all my intake on fitday.com. A very cool site. I had my surgery on Dec 19th. So I am just over 3 months out and have lost 63 lbs. I still find that so amazing. I too am very thankful to my surgeon that he gave me such a wonderful tool. I bet you feel so much better with just the 100+ lbs gone. Just think of how it will be 18 months out. I am still in awe of this surgery. Sorry now I am babbling. Congrats and welcome to the Dec board. Here's to more weight loss and getting healthy. Corinn 245/182/130
