This is the right place to be for support.  I love the folks on here.  I joined long before my WLS was done and learned alot just reading the posts.  Sounds like you are doing wonderful with t he walking.  The time will pass faster than you can imagine.  Stay focused and you will do great. You may want to start trying out a few Proteins, but do not get too attached to any one, because your tastes may be entirely different after WLS.  Mine sure was.  Good Luck, keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hello! My name is Heather and I am new to OH. I have gone to my consult with Dr. Diaz and because I am a terrible patient and never go to the doctor I have to have 6 months of medically supervised weight loss prior to surgery. So, my first visit with Dr. Gomez was this past Friday. I am trying everything I can to get some weight off pre-op! I am walking 4-5 times a week and I am up to 3 miles in a little under an hour. I am just looking for a place for support and to not be judged. This is the PERFECT place! I love being able to come on here and not be looked at as "the fat girl"! I love that we are ALL in this TOGETHER! You all ROCK!

Welcome to Indiana hope you enjoy it here!

Welcome to the area. I have lived here for the past 7 years and love it. If I can be of any help let me know! You will finds lots of wonderful support and answers on here and I hear that the support group here is wonderful. I must confess I have never been. I work and go to St Mary of the Woods, and have a family so there isnt much time left in my day! 

Welcome again to Terre Haute.

I just wanted to give praise for a friend that I have made on this OH board. I have met so may wonderful people on here and am grateful that they are in my life. It is a blessing to be able to share our lives with eachother in ways that even friends and family don't always understand from us. Here we can truly be ourselves and go through our issues together as sisters, brothers and friends.
I would like to take a moment to recognize a lady that is truly the grace of god walking. She has become a friend and a sister to me. We have never spoke or met and we lives miles apart from eachother but I feel like she is my soul-sister and I want to tell her that I love her and am the better person for having her in my life.
Rose... sweetie, I love you!!  I hope your surgery went well and that you will be up and dancing around soon. :)
This is an example of what she writes to me and if I never ever meet anyone who has touched my life in the way she has... I am blessed for knowing just her as a friend. Please read these words she wrote me and pray that this beautiful person will always have love and peace in her life like she deserves.
"Johnna,
My whole heart longs so much to have you close enough for me to hug your right now.  First for what you're going through, but more so for just the beautiful sister that you are!!!  I remember you telling me that you thought God had brought us together to be friends and sisters, and I agreed with you whole-heartedly!  I know without a doubt, that we haven't "accidently" met.  We've met for a reason - to love, encourage, and help each other.  You've given me such encouragement over the time that we've known each other, and you are just a blessing to my life!  "

Thank you Rose for just being you!!
