New from main board

Hi, all Just decided to try one more time to change my eating and exercising habits, before embarking on major surgery. Yes, I have both Medicare and Medicaid, but I just can't quite wrap my head around the rewiring of the R-N-Y until I give it one more great big try. I have a very good and well-balanced diet given to me by a nutritionist and an excellent treadmill my mom gave me. Also, I stopped smoking for surgery and now I can actually breathe! . Also I downloaded fitday.com to keep track of everything. Now all I have to do is wait for my mouth to heal from my emergency oral surgery (pulled 2 teeth) yesterday. Had 2 lose teeth and 1 was abscessed.OUCH!! Will check in again and let you know when I get started and I'll be here daily looking for your messages. Nice to meet you, Holly

Hi Holly, Best of luck to you. Welcome. Lynette

Hi Maren, You are really something! I am totally impressed with your weight loss so far! Ann 303/222/130 Non-op

Hi, Holly, and Welcome. I'm giving it one last shot without WLS also. Good luck to you AND feel better after your dental work. Take care, Laure

Hi Holly, Welcome. I just joined this board about a week ago and I find that it is great place to get both ideas and support. You will love it. I was at the same place as you are. I decided that the WLS was just not for me. When I learned more about how "the insides" were changed, I just worried that it would have long term implications that I could not live with. That is not to say that it is not the right choice for some people - it is just not the right choice for me. So, I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Nancy
