newbie looking for interaction

Hi, Am 5 days out trying to figure out this site and get going on some non-food oriented activities - communicating with others of like issues! I have been very grateful for how well I feel physically. Mentally you could say I have moments of sheer panic knowing that this is a forever change and that I really still can screw up this major step.
Will spend some time over the next few days reading through the various topics, too.

Welcome to the MN Board!!!

Feel free to ask any questions ....we are more then willing to help all we can.

What you are feeling is perfectly normal...I remember those days of panic ....it will get better.

I wish you the best on this journey to a healthier you!!

Hugs....connie d

Thanks, Connie!

Will keep trying to figure the site out. It seems like there are many places where various forums are and you can join a group as well to kind of narrow down the communications, too. tried to upload a pix but it was too big. Will try again later

Looks good to me!....nice pic!

Have a great weekend!!

Hugs ....connie d

Welcome and congrats on your surgery!!
Remember to rest, sip and walk!!  

oh, and hang on...it's quite a ride!

Just realize - estrogen is stored in fat, and as you lose weight, it spills into your system an messes with you emotions BIG TIME!!!  So don't get down on yourself for the rollercoaster, it's NORMAL.

But you'll get past it, and every time you fit into the next size down, you'll be reassured that you made the right choice!

YAY YOU!!!

The site gets easier with time Linda.  Ask and I will help as able to find things here.  The possibilities are endless.  Hugs

Welcome to the site & to the MN forum!  Definitely posting & reading others posts is super beneficial.  The more you use the site & explore the more you'll get used to it.  I still seem to learn something new everytime I go exploring on here! 

I look forward to hearing more from you & if you ever have any questions or would like to chat I'm always here!! 

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!!

Try to get to a local coffee on a Saturday. Put some faces to the spaces!!

Get tha****er in ... SF jello and popsicles will help break up the monotony of jus****er. But it is sooooooooooo essential to get in the liquids.

Keep coming back. We're here for ya!

Thanks tere,
Unfortunately I liev up near Bemidji, but we do have a great local support group that meets2 times a month and that is a big help!!!

Things are getting easier evey day. Sugar free pudding sure hlelps with this first phase. Sat. I move on to the "real" soft foods! I am doing very well with liquids at this time.
Thanks
