Emerging from the Shadows

Thanks Peach. I have always enjoyed your posts and your approach, take in the information and then use it in a way that works for YOUR life. I believe that is so important for long term success and I look forward to hearing more from you as you get closer to your goal.

Congratulations on making a decision!  It is life-changing.  I am so happy I did it.

Thank you and congratulations, you are off you a great start and I'm sure I'll be happy I did it too!

Hello  Christine and welcome.

 Now that you are here post daily, jump into conversations it really does help.  you can post questions you have and people will help you through  it.  it's a great site with many helpful people.

You've made the right decision.  You will be so happy once it's behind you and the weight just keeps falling  off.

you got this

Thank you Karen. I debated for a long time whether I would jump into the conversations or not but I'm already glad I did.

So happy you hopped in to join us Christine. I too over think everything and put off  surgery for over 2 years. Now I don't know why I waited. I had my RNY 4 years 2 months ago at a high weight of 272 after a lifetime of being obese and for the last 31/2 years I have weighed 118 to 125. I definitely feel like a new person and it was the best decision I ever made. Welcome and keep posting and asking questions too--it's a great bunch here for certain.

Thank you Karen. 

I have loved reading your posts, it is great to get some perspective from someone who has been living it for 4+ years. You are always so positive and inspiring. I was so happy to see a picture of Lily the other day, she's kind of famous around here and such a beautiful girl! Those eyes!

Welcome and congratulations.. This is definitely a great journey you're headed for! 

Thank you and wishing you continued success

Welcome! visit often.
