Introducing Myself

Debbie, I am in the midcoast area, Waldoboro to be precise. About halfway between Brunswick/Bath and Camden/Rockport. We also have property downeast in Harrington, Washington County.

Thank you for the welcome!

Congratulations on making the choice to have the surgery and get healthy.  I'm sure you will do fine.  The surgery was a wonderful thing for me--went from 398 to 158 (now hover around 165 qand 170).  You will be able to do things, everyday things, that other people take for granted.  Just follow your doctor's protocol.  I found keeping a food/exercise journal very helpful. 

Good luck

Bec, you found us.  Well you seems to be in the right frame of mind, and you have been successful thus far, so I can only imagine that trend will continue.  Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery!

Good luck on your journey. You surgery is fastly approaching and i wish you all the luck and speedy recovery. You will do just fine and even in the bumps in the road you will look back and say, it was well worth it. Good luck hun, many blessings

I was going to answer everyone individually, but decided maybe I am talking too much and the moderators will boot me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all the welcomes and advice. It is greatly appreciated!

I'm so excited for you! I have at least six months to go before I get my surgery date and that's if everything falls in line the way I hope it will... 

May I ask what your pre-surgery diet consists of? What are you eating or drinking each day???  Thanks and again, I'm so excited for you!!!

Welcome Bec to the BMI over 50 club!!!  Congrats on the upcoming RNY...the pre-op diet isn't so bad after you're a few days into it (although I must admit I'll never look at a cucumber the same way ever again!!! LOL))  And NO, the moderators will "Kick You Out" for talking too much or asking questions...that's why this forum is here for us to ask, learn and help each other!! 

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!!!
