 Hi everyone, I'm Janelle. I'm new here. I just completed my blood work, Upper GI, Xray etc tests. I haven't had my surgery date set yet. I'm still trying to get down to my goal weight. Its been very hard, which is frustrating.  I just wanted to say hello!

Hi Janelle....Welcome!

Hi Janelle,

Welcome, I am fairly new also.  I have had all my tests done and need to lose the presurgery weight.  That I am having a problem with, but this is the place to be.  Everyone is great and eager to help and share their knowledge and experience.  We will lose the weight and get to the other side.

Hi Janelle,

I know it is hard, but you will get there.  Just take one minute at a time, and don't give up.  Remember, we are all here for you.  Make sure you come to the support group meetings at PRH on the 4th Monday of the month for even more support. 

Welcome Janelle!
Maybe you could get some extra help if you give Jackie the nutritionist a call?
She's awesome and has some great ideas on how to manage the weight loss. I had her write down a simple plan for me and follow it closely and it really helps.
Good luck and let us know when you get a date.

Congrates on getting all the other stuff done!  That is a great accomplishment.  Now all you have to concentrate on is getting to your goal weight.  You can do it.

Hello there.  Keep us updated.  We're here to help, however that is.  Some people need tough love or a butt kicking, some people need hand holding and nurturing, some people need cold, hard information, some people want to know the WLS stories of those who have gone before. 

We've all got different stuff we're good at.  Let us know where your out, how your feeling and what would be most heplful to you on your jouney and I guarentee someone on here specialises in just that. 

:-)
