Hi Gardengirl, I pressed on your picture icon and it took me to your profile. Once there, there is a message facility, request as a friend and one other icon at the top. I have sent you a message and requested you as a friend. I believe this should show up where you sign in :-).

Hi Gardengirl, I would love to talk too! I'm also very new so still trying to navigate the site. I'm not sure how or if you can send personal messages, I would think you can somehow. This is a great forum with lot's of advice, support. Have you already got a firm date for your op? Oh my name is Joanne :-)

Hi, thought it might be a good ideas to tell you a little about my journey as I have enjoyed reading about others. I'm 51 years old, a wife of 30 years and mother of two boys 25 and 18! I have had weight issues from about the age of 9. My relationship with food has been one of love and hate! I have tried many diets, some have been successful, I have lost more than 90lbs on occasions, only for the weight to go right back on. This has made me feel like a failure, it has also made me feel out of control. I have tried nearly everything! Including fad diets, starvation diets, pills and potion, ect. I have had therapy which did help with the way I used food emotionally. It was my therapist that first mentioned WLS to me. At that time I was still of a mind that I could do this weight thing on my own. I now realise that I have no potion control at all. I am indeed like a alcoholic when faced with certain foods. So three years after WLS, was first mentioned to me, and me now using food in a more appropriate way, I am as heavy as ever. I know this surgery is a tool, but it is one I NEED! I need the restriction it will give me, the hunger feelings being hushed. It has been liberating finding this forum! To know that I am not alone! To find others that understand! I am looking forward to making this journey, to supporting and being supported.

Your husband won't leave your side all night! you look hot, hot. Your legs are fab and the dress shows your figure to perfection.

Wow you look fantastic! An inspiration :-)
