Rachel, welcome to our group. You will find some very kind and caring folks here, that will support and encourage you along the way. Lately, it has been a bit quiet, but I think it will pick back up soon.
Hoping the preop diet is going well for you. I know it seems like a very long time, but it will pass quicker than it seems like it will. I know i had to do a 6 month supervised diet prior to insirance approving as well. I thought it would feel like forever, but it actually went pretty quick.
Consider joining us for our group chat on Monday evenings. Its a fun time and lots of great info is shared. I look forward to walking beside you in your journey!

Hi Rachel, welcome to the BB group. You will find many positive and supportive people here that will help you along on your weight loss journey. I am glad to have you along on this exciting trip!

Welcome to the family Rachel.  I look forward to chatting with you on Monday's too.  Use this time during the pre-op peroid to start doing the changes that will be lifelong habits.  It takes several weeks for a new behavior to become a habit. 

Is there anything that we can do in the meantime to help you keep your spirits up and get ready for the surgery?  Nice to meet you, hugs

rachel. welcome my friend.  we will be here for you all the way.  positive people is who we are. vick

Hi... Thx so much ladies... I thought I know I posted my info out there before I just have to find it. Thank goodness I did. Anyway yes would love to chat on Monday. What time tho? I'm central I just wanna make sure of the time... Cant wait to chat soon. As far as the diet its really hard girls.. I just have no organization at all on eating well. What to eat, when to eat etcc... I have no coordination at all n its soo frustrating.. I weigh in on the 3rd want to show that I'm losing but last weigh in i was up 4lbs due to my menstrual. I knw I lost some weight cuz I usually gain 7 to 10lbs of water weight.. I've been 370 for like 1 1/2yrs when I got on the scale I weighed in 4lbs more. So I xplained that to my NUT and she said it was understandable and she would let the jot it down too. She then scheduled me for the 3rd cuz by then my menstrual would b over n hopefully I'll b showing some weight off by then. I cut sodas completely very very hard.... I just feel overwhelmed and very very down n the dumps. I don't want to fail u know... I'm miserable already for even being this way and then to fail while being miserable is not a good feeling at all....

Anyway hope to hear from u all soon.. sorry I'm babbling.. I'll save it for the chat.. lol ttyl girls..
