Hi everyone!

Hello all! I just wanted to pop in and say hi I'm usually around my local TN board and have recently ventured into other domains. I'm so glad there is a messageboard of those of us with a BMI over 50! So... anyways, I'm in my 5th month of my dr. supervised diet for insurance...dieting during the holidays??? Yeah right!! These skinny people are I've probably lost a whopping 10lbs in 5months. Really rather depressing when I think about it but I guess that is another reason why I need this surgery. Sure, I'm suppose to write everything down in a food journal and exercise but what does that really prove you know ?? Has anyone had to endure this six month dr. supervised diet without losing much weight?? Anyhow, I look forward to getting to know all of ya'll. Have a great day!

Hi April, WELCOME!!!!!!! Dont feel too bad..........I lost 16 pounds in six months pre-op and that was in the 5th month!!! What can I say? I love to eat!! willby

welcome aboard, april. you'll love this board - it's the best. i had more than a decade of documented weight loss attempts by the time i finally sought surgery so the six month thing wasn't an issue for me. sorry i can't help you there. but i wanted to chime in with a welcome, anyway. dorthe
