Do I qualify as a Lightweight?

Welcome to the LW Board.  Good luck with your surgery.  I think we were all nervous and excited at the same time!!

Thank you Linda! I am normally such a calm/ whatever will be, will be person so the nervous thing surprices me about myself.

Welcome!

This board has helped me so much pre and post op. They are the best.

Thank you Lynn!

Definitely!!!!   Welcome to our LW board!!!  

I had my surgery Oct. 15th 3 years ago and it is an awesome month to have surgery!  My first real meal was Thanksgiving and I got lots of new clothes for Christmas!!  I was so fired up that all of the holiday snacks weren't even a temptation and I started the New Year out with such Hope. 

Thank you Roz! I have had so many people make comments to me that I will "miss" all of the holiday meals this year. They really don't get it when I tell them I will be able to eat "real" food.

Just don't make the same mistake that some have done by overeating to prove to everyone that you are allowed to eat real food. 

Hi Fran!!! I'm 5'3 on a good day! lol... wish I had a few more inches....

When I found out there was a "lightweights" board and that I fit the criteria... it made me laugh!! Me? Lightweight? NOT!!!  This is a great site and a great forum. You will find endless amounts of info and support!!

Oct 12th will be here before you know it! I am only 6 days post-op and a real rookie around here, but I feel like I have learned sooo very much and I am thankful for all the friends that I have made!!

Good luck!!!
