New to this board

Hi everyone,

Well I lost my appeal to have WLS so I decided to spend some $ on Jenny Craig food rather than an attorney to fight the system.  It's been about 6 weeks and I have only lost 10 pounds!  WOW, it sure takes a lot longer when we get older! (I was really wanting that quick weight loss from surgery!)   LOL 
Anyway, I still need support and hope to find it here.
Thanks,
Sherri

You came to the right place Sherri. Support is what we are best at. Quick weight loss is hard to do without surgery but you can still lose at a really good pace with time and patience. 10 pounds in 6 wks is awesome! Keep up the great work and remember patience is one of the keys to success.

Hi, and welcome.

Most of the others don't know what it's like to be "older", but I do!

You'll find your way, and this is a great cheering section.

What do you think of their food?  Is it pretty expensive?

Welcome to the board.  A lot of nice helpful people on this site.

Hey Sherri, welcome to our little corner of OH.  Whenever someone is turned down for WLS, I always say that it's God's way of trying to tell you something.  That you don't need to get your guts rerouted to get healthy.  Yes it will take longer, but the only advantage they have is quick weight loss initially, and then they have to stay on a low carb diet just like the rest of us non-ops to get all of the weight off, but with a lot of vitamins.  And ten pounds off of you is ten pounds off of you no matter how long it took to get there.  At my age, I'm fifty-one, I'm proud if I'm not gaining! 

What kind of an exercise program do you have?  I find without exercise, it would have taken me a lot longer to lose.  And I'm trying to get in all of the water, but for some reason, I have issues with that.  I hope you can do better than I have! 

Jenny Craig ain't cheap, but it's cheaper than WLS!  I pray it works well for you.
