New to OH

Hello - just got up the courage to post and introduce myself.  I've been reading on here or I guess what's called lurking.  I just had another weighin today - I'm down 31 pounds!  Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Welcome to BMI over 50.    Just curious, you didnt mention, are you preop or postop and if so what surgery did you have? 

Hello!  I just got the courage to post and introduce myself too!  I've been lurking on here a few weeks myself.  Congratulations on losing 31 lbs.  Have you already had your surgery?  I just found out today my insurance company approved my RNY so I will get to schedule the surgery on Monday.  Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Welcome to this group. Tell us a little bit about yourself. We want DETAILS so we can get to know you better. Congrats on the weight loss.

Welcome to the group!!!  Good luck on your journey.  Post often, we love to hear what your up to..were nosey like that..LOL

Ok - here is some more info! :)  I am already approved for surgery - with Kaiser if you are excepted into the program, then the surgery is already approved.  I think your BMI and such are what qualifies you.  I am on the 6 months of working with the dietician that I need to do.  I have already lost 18 of the 34 pounds that I need to with her in 1 month! :) I'm excited!  I have seen the therapist 1 of my 2 required visits.  I haven't picked a surgery yet because that is just to scary for me to think of yet. I'm a little chicken!  I did find out from the dietician if I keep doing so well just working with her and I want to post pone or not do the surgery that I am allowed to do that.  So I guess I just have a lot of determination right now!  I have noticed that I get sick to my stomach if I eat something like pie that is too sweet!  I guess that is a good thing except my brain still thinks that they will taste good. 

I just wanted to say that you are all doing good on your weightloss!  I have been checking in to see how you are all doing and it has been very encouraging to me!  So Thank You! :)

Good for you for doing so well without surgery. Sometimes it just takes us FOCUSING to lose weight. I can lose 40 lbs at a time, but I can never KEEP it off, thus, I'm having surgery. Take your time and figure out what you want to do. Sounds like you have a good team to work with.
