Newbie to board

Hey everyone, I just found you guys today . I wish I had you guys when I was going through my pre and post op problems. I would go to my support group meetings and hear testimonals of people that lost 140lbs, and started at 270lbs. I would think, gosh, I WISH I weighed 270lbs. I still dont, but at least I am not alone in my journey. Everyone of you that is pre-op, look at my picture in my profile, and see that it is by far the best thing I ever did. I had the confidence to go on job interviews, and got a great job, can actually work all day long. I can now cross my legs and fit in booths. It is so amazing. I look forward to all of you pre ops to join me on the losing side. After one year, I am finally just now DOWN to a 40+BMI. I look forward to getting to know all of you. If I can help any of you on your journey, feel free to email me at [email protected] Hugs, Sue 407/266/?

Hi Sue! Welcome to the board. The best bunch of folks here! I'm still pre-op. It is so nice to have others who can relate to what we are, and what we have gone through. Yeah, I wish I weighed 270 too! LOL Congrats on your weight loss! Keep up the great work! Huggs, Ruth

Hi Sue. Welcome.

Hi Sue and welcome I too wish I weighed 270 but someday soon I hope to join you on the losing side as well. Congratulations on your amazing weight loss and keep up the good work. Take care Anita

Thanks for your congrats and your welcoming me to the board. I will do my best to be a sucess. I will be here for all of you Hugs, Sue

hi sue: i felt the same way and was really glad i found this place, too. i only started coming here a couple weeks ago and can already tell i'll be here often. talking about fitting into a booth, talking about wishing you 'only' weight 270, regaining lost confidence, for those reasons and so many, many more, i'm glad we're all finding this board. i know my journey will be much longer than the people on the state board i've been going to - i'm just under 50 bmi after having lost over 100 pounds - so i'm glad i can come here for the understanding of these miniscule, yet mentally gigantic issues. (don't think i said that right, hope you get what i mean). have a great week, sue. thanks for sharing dorthe 440/325/???

Hey Sue, I took a look at your profile , and you look great.270? Yeah, I wish I was there. My day is coming soon though. Keep it up. Kwheen
