I have been around some in the past 3 or so months but haven't really said anything.. I think I might have like 3 friends...:( Im just not sure what to say, and don't want to butt into conversations and people think that I am rude.
But with that said i am Mary Beth, I live in Lawton and had VSG done on 5/19 at the start of my journey 3 days before surgery I was 342.. I weigh myself every Tuesday.(which i should probably do once a month but im stubborn) and today i was down 51.9 but that is according to my scales at home and not one at the Dr. office. I just was extrememly happy about it this morning and wanted to be able to share with someone that knew what I was going through and knows how good it is to be a looser.. I hope everyone is having a great summer and a wonderful week.

Hello!  you should include yourself in our weekly weigh-in on Tuesday!  I use it to hold myself accountable.  I like to see that number go down every week!  LOL!  I know Amy will be posting it Tuesday mornings around 5:30 and I'm waiting to post!  LOL!
You are doing great!  Keep it up!!!

Oh, Butt into conversations.  If people don't want you butting in the will private message!  LOL!  The boards are open for everyone and you will learn a lot on here.  Don't think you are rude!  I've been on here regularly about a year and I butted myself right on in!  I was so eager to learn everything I could about my surgery!!!!  Everyone was very welcoming to me and  they will be to you too!
Hugs
Kim J!

Welcome Mary Beth! I'm a regular around here but you probably haven't seen much of me, I lurk alot and then just but in when and where I feel like it. Everyone here is friendly and responsive, and OH SO supportive, so don't hold back. We have very little drama and usually all get along without a hitch. There are some truely amazing people here so just make yourself at home...that's what we do!

Oh! and I'm in Duncan! so we should get together and go shopping or something sometime.

Welcome, MaryBeth!  And, congratulations on the wonderful weight loss!

You are never butting in if you post a comment or question!  We are all here for one another.  Post early and often!!  It takes all of us together to make it down this path to health!

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)
