I do want you all to know that you are a great asset. Even though i didn't join in before i have inspired by many of you. It is amazing how much support you guys are to so many people. Again, THANK YOU!!!!

YaY!!! A newbie!!! Welcome Andrea - glad you posted today!

Who's doing your surgery?

welcome, Andrea!!! You will get it off!!  Do a partial liquid diet for the next 2 weeks.  I had to do a preop diet before my surgery and I lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks. It was 2 slimfats a day (low carb) and regular small meal at dinnertime.  All the veggies you want, no sugar, no bread etc.  You can do it!!  They want to see that you are committed!!

    I have request Dr. M Toder at EMMC. It probley won't be until Aug. or Sept. but I am getting excited.

Hi Andrea,

Welcome to the board, you are right it is a great bunch here, I know I have benefited greatly. I wish you luck and hope you continue to post.

I myself feel like a lurker sometimes.  I used to be able to post and reply to people on a daily basis.  I do read everyday, but definitely do not post and respond like I used to.  Work has been extremely busy and running after these twins (2 in April) has me beat.  I am really going to make an effort to get back into it though.  I miss all you lovely ladies!

I'm here too. Mostly lurking. I just get so down on myself that I've not made it to my goal weight and that my BMI still makes me 10 pounds overweight. I've been maintaining at this weight for 9 months which is great but I still want to get that last 10 pounds off (at least). I don't love being stuck between 157-162. It's better than the 272 for sure though!

I'm having my tonsils out on April 1st so maybe I'll lose a few pounds then! LOL
