Where are all the newbees???

I can't wait to be a part of thus board!  I get sleeved on October 16th.   I have a fair amount of emotional turmoil, one day confident, the next doubtful.  Today I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, so that cemented my decision.  :-)

although the process feels like it goes on forever, I felt surgery was real once I got a date.  Congrats on a great decision to change your life for the better.  I got rid of all my co-morbidities and meds after my RNY and I got my life back.

Welcome to the Lightweights.  We look forward to helping however we can with your journey.

Thank you Price!   I'll take any input that you have to offer.   It's such an emotional ride, it becomes overwhelming at times.

Here's hoping to an apnea free Christmas for you!! ;-)

Thanks!!  That would make my holiday!

Another factor is that membership all over OH is down.

Hi Price -

I was a newbie on here not that long ago and drifted away from all things internet based as my son was in hospital and I just didn't have the access nor the focus for anything but what was going on.  Luckily he's back to 100%, I am now at goal (whoo-hoo) and I am going to be back on OH and hopefully the LW board more often.  

I agree that the LW board was so helpful on my loosing journey and now I'm going to need it as I figure out life in maintenance!  I will also stick a link to the LW board in my siggy line.  I used to have one but it got lost somehow....

Thanks for always encouraging people to join in here :)

Welcome back Ashley.  Glad your son is doing well now.

Maintenance is hard put we now have a tool to help us.  Stick around because we have quite a few who are working on it daily!!! 

I read about twice a week and near every weekend. I don't have a computer so it's harder for me.  I'm very busy full time job plus the ranch plus hunting traveling and hosting many parties oh don't forget hay season. Life is incredibly busy barely enough time to scratch my head! And on top of that I never know what to post?? When I'm feeling naughty or depresses I get on here and read so, even if it feels like no one a watching I am and you all help me out not even knowing it. I've missed weigh in lately from not being in my own home. I'm still at 130/133. Loving my new life. 

We are happy to have you no matter how often or not that you can come.  It always helps when I see that there are over 100 visits to this post so even if folks aren't posting, they are reading.  I just don't want us to be missing folks who need us. 

Hay season, I wish I had 200 bales in my barn right now.
