Hello!

I hate to admit this, but don't think I've posted on this board before today.  What a great find!  I just thought I would introduce myself, since most forum's have "regulars".  HELLO!  :) I had lap RNY about six months ago.  I'm down 128.5lbs, feeling great, and very happy with my decision to take control of my life and have WLS. I hope to get to know you all soon!

Welcome Lauren!  I'm glad you found us :)  I am one of those "regulars" - I'm 10 months out, down 165lbs and mostly feeling great!  I am also very happy with my decision, and thrilled with how much more I can do now. We have some regular posts that I hope you'll join in on - I post a daily food journal (calorie countdown) and Kix opens the gym every day so we can list our exercise and activity if we want to.  Also Estelle posts a recipe thread once a week where we can share WLS friendly recipes, and mamasebay posts a Monday weigh-in each week.  Congratulations on your success so far, you are doing wonderfully!  Jenn

Hi Lauren! Welcome!  I've been hanging around the boards here since last August.  I am finally getting the paperwork in after all my reading different options, etc.  Took awhile to get dh on the bandwagon but after a seminar he's quite convinced this is what I need to do!  Your weight loss is awesome! Lori

Thank you for the warm welcome!  If there's anything I can help you with along your journey please let me know.  I'm not a pro yet, but can certainly pass along any info I have learned so far!  What surgery type are you considering.  I'm glad that DH came onboard.  I always tell people to focus on their future, becuase we do this not only for ourselves but for our partners, children, family and friends too!  It's for ALL of our future together. Cheers to fit and healthy happiness!

Thanks for the warm welcome!  You are doing FANTASTIC!  WOOHOO!!  I'll enjoy joining in on the daily posts.  I think the exercise post can held hold me a bit more accountable.  I blogged just this morning about FINALLY getting off my rump and using the treadmill I bought weeks ago...  sigh...  I do great with the food part of WLS but not so good with the exercise, but it's something I'm looking to be better about.

Welcome! I've been on the boards since last Fall, but am just getting "active" again. This is a great place. Welcome! You are doing awesome!

Hello there and thank you to you also for a warm welcome!

Hi Lauren, welcome to the board... I have been here for a few weeks now and really like it.  Everyone is really nice and very supportive.  You've done great with your wt loss so far... keep up the good work Caroline

Hello Caroline!  It looks like you are on your way!  Keep up the good work!  I look forward to getting to know you all better.  :)

Hi Lauren,  Nice to meet you.   I'm kinda new and am trying to post more.  I'm pretty shy so sometimes hard to come out of lurkville.    Your weight loss has been great!  Did you lose all that after surgery or some before that?   I have to do a 6 month medically supervised diet per my insurance and on the 25th I will have three months down.  It's going kinda fast.   I was bummed at first having to do the six months but now kinda glad as I am learning more and more about WLS.    Linda
