Hello,

My name is WeeWers and I'll be 60 in August. I'm 305 (and climbing) and am 5-6. My goal is 140 That's needing to lose 165 pounds!!! I will look like a pole with hanging skin everywhere!! I thought that was a very good discussion about the ol' hanging skin issue. Better to be thin and healthy -- than fat and unhealthy.

I have been at this forum for 4 weeks and I have not made one friend yet. I love the size of this group and the fact that 60+ folks just have a different platform. I feel like I'm among people I can be open with.

I want to support others on their journey's also. I'm not here just to 'take.'

I think I have done all the required "hoop-jumping" and I see my surgeon for the first time this Monday. I pray that he won't require more hoops for me and that my surgery can be scheduled very soon. (that's what *everyone* wants) May I let you guys know how the visit went. Do you guys share such teeny things?

I don't have a real dynamic post that would get a lot of replies -- but I'm so glad to be here and hope we can get to know each other!

warmly~

Hopeful one, I started taking biotin 10,000 mg 2weeks before my surgery and I haven't had any hair loss as of yet I also started my b12 then to. Do not purchase all the protein drinks and powders from your doctor they are expensive I did get the multi vit. But it's hard going down ,I'm on this new product called thrive that has all the vit and nutrients in it ,I started it because of my pain issues and it's like a miracle, I've been in pain with my shoulders and knees for 15 yrs and the day I started thrive it was amazing and the best part of that it's not a narcotic or a prescription,I drink slim fast protein drinks, the key is to get protein and water but it's difficult to drink all the water for me, I drink a lot of crystal lite and it's made with water so that's it for me oh I'm 59 will be 60 in February

Shirley I would love to become your friend. Sounds like what I am looking for. I posted that I would like to do this journey with someone but received no reply. So new friend let's chat.
