Newbie... But I learn quick!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, As the title suggests, I'm a newbie! I've been visiting the forum for the last 2 weeks reading everyones amazing stories. Other forums on the net seem to focus so much on the negatives, but I'm looking for support! Glad I found this place. I'm not far into my journey yet. I went to the seminar in April, had initial consultation with the surgeon on May 8th. And now the fun begins! I hope to meet lots of new people that are on a similar journey.

Be good to you!

Welcome!

Take by your handle you are in Dallas. Have you decided which surgeon is going to "do the job"? We are so lucky to live in an area with so many top surgeons to choose from!

Again, welcome!

Welcome - you sound like me in my early days. I think you have the right attitude - look for support. There will be negative people everywhere. I learned early on to skip those posts, and to move on to the inspirational ones and the informative ones.

This is such an exciting journey - and I think it is important to look at it like that. I actually made a cover for my three ring binder that I kept all my pre and post op medical papers in (you will want something like this b/c there is a lot of info you need to keep track of) with pictures of my inspiration for taking such a big step as weightloss surgery. It had pictures of people important to me in my life and pictures of activities I wanted to do once I lost weight. I never explained it to anyone - but everytime I looked at the binder I thought about the reasons behind this decision.

Best of luck to you. You are in for a great adventure!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
