New Guy - Long Time Listener , First Time Caller
Hello All :
1st post but I've been a LONG time lurker to both the Main Forum as well as the Men's Forum.
Let me first say what a valuable resource this board is. Thanks to everyone for tips and answers to many questions I may have has along the way. I can't tell you how many times I've had a question in my mind and I've found the answer (or at least a feeling of peace about my own conclusion) from this board. No offense to the main board...but lets just say I am 1000x more comfortable posting here for all the reasons that I am sure you are aware of.
So...I said to myself that I'd become a member of the forum when I got my approval from my insurance and a date for the Lap-RNY...Feb 16th is the magic morning and I cannot wait. This journey began last year , thru all the tests everyone went thru , 6 months of nutrition classes, tons of soul searching, and a kick in the butt from a great friend who had the RNY last summer. She is half the person she was in the summer, and to kinda have her as my "Yoda" will help a lot.
So there you go - 1st post of many I am sure - Liquid diet starts in a few days and I'll be rocking and rolling from there.
