Calling All Lurkers!!!
Hi Janet!!
Congratulations on your great weight loss. That is some accomplishment.
Dr. Jawad is a very talented surgeon. Are you going to his annual Holiday partyn Dec. 11th?
Good luck if you decide to do the abdominalplasty, I would be too chicken to have the surgery, so I got to give you credit.
Please post often.

Okay, my first post didn't go through, so if this shows twice, I'm sorry.
I come to the Fl board a few times, but it mostly seems to be surgeon questions and medicare questions, none of which I'm interested in. So I would love for the board to become more lively with new topics.
I feel so alone in Northeast Florida. I only know of one other dser and haven't been able to get in touch with her. There is a local wls group but its not that active. I have been to the Orl Dsers and LOVED it, but its a long drive and with small children I can't make that trip too often.
Hope the board gets going better!

Nice to meet you Emily,
I can't say that I know much about DS, but we are all here for the same reason... To lose weight and get healthy!!!
I agree about the Florida board, there haven't been many topics that I have been interested in that's why I started this post.
I love having the opportunity to meet fellow "LOSERS'. I wish you were closed to Ocala,we have a support group that meets once a month and it's very informative and lots of fun.
Is there any topic you would like to see here, if so, start a new post and let's see if anyone responds. I will add my 2 cents if it's something I know about.
Until then, drop by and say Hey!!

Hi Lyn,
Welcome to the Florida board. When is your surgery scheduled? I think it's a good idea to have the surgery before the holidays because you are forced to stick to the diet, you don't have much chioce. Think of allthe people how want to wait until after the holidays to have the surgery, they will gain between 5-10 lbs that they will have to lose in addition to their initial weight. In your case you will lose this amout ans be that much closer to your goal. I justified that pretty good, didn't I?
Keep us posted on you surgery.

Hi - My name is Kristie. I had my surgery Sept 1, 2010. I have lost 57 lbs since then. I weigh in on Wednesdays, so it may be a little more now. I went through a little plateau after I was able to eat solids again, but I started going to the gym and lost 8-9 lbs that week. It's going slow again, so I am switching the workouts and doing cardio only for 2 weeks. I go t the gym every morning with 2 of my friends and i actually enjoy going now.
I do still have a problem eating some foods, and throw up often, so any advice on that will be helpful. Also, I have all of my vitamins except the iron, and I am having a problem finding the correct one. Any suggestions?
I went to the first support group meeting in October, and really enjoyed it. I plan on attending the one in November also.
Congratulations

Hi Kristie,
I'm glad you enjoyed the support group meeting last month. Kelli and Jennifer do a good job. I too was there. I sat in the middle of the room, with my 12 yr. old son and my husband. Maybe this month we can meet.
You are doing great, I had my surgery on 8/18 and have lost 51 lbs since then for a total of 69 lbs. Are you going to Dr. Jawad's holiday party?
I look forward to meeting you at the next meeting.
