Hi I am new

Hi everyone I am new to this board. I have my surgery on August 11, only 9 days away!! I am very excited and very nervous also. My name is Alicia, and I have been reading some of your profiles, and they give me so much hope. I would fill my profile in but I don't know how, oh well. Have a nice day everyone!! Alicia

Hi Alicia, Welcome! Blessings on your decision to make such a positve change in your life. I am now down 115 lbs in 6.5 months. It has been awesome. I can do so much more than I was able to before. I go for 2 mile walks almost every night. Unheard of before. I love going up and down steps and not hanging onto the railing. I cannot wait until you, too, can experience all these things and more! Wait until you find your collar bones. I feel them all the time - just because they are there! Prayers going up for you. Linda 367/252/?

Hi Alicia I am new also and had a awful time trying to figure out how to post on my profile.I even asked my husband the tech geek to see if he could figure it out.He could not.This is what after 3 days I figured out. Go to your profile on the top of the page. log in with your password click on general info scroll down to comments what ever you write in that area will show up on your page. Good luck ..Dawn

Hi Alicia, Welcome, you will find that everyone here is so incouraging, I am also new here and everyone is great. Congrats on your surgery date, I bet you are nervous , I am just starting my journey so I can't even imagine what you must be going through, hang in there I know you will come through it safe. I will keep you in my prayers. As for your profile, read some of the post on the main message board they usually always have someone post on how to spruce up your profile, or just look around the site that was how I came upon it, I don't remember the address or I would give it to you, check under site map and see it that leads you some where, good luck. Take care and be sure to post when you get home from surgery and let us all know how you are doing. Please feel free to email me anytime, just to talk, for support or anything. Glad you are here. Just think, before long you will be able to tie your shoes and breath at the same time . Bonnie G

Alicia, Best wishes and blessings on your upcoming surgery. I'm 4 months out now and loving my life more every day! You will too, I just know it. Welcome to the Losing Side of Life! Myra
