Hello

I just joined here. I am looking for a support group. I am having my surgery on Monday and I am getting a little nervous. Not about the surgery itself, I have a wonderful surgeon, but mostly about everything after.

Is anyone in Missouri?

Just read your posts. I love your goals and am sure that u will reach them:) hope all is well, keep is posted on your progress!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I went thru a bad bout of depression for about 2 weeks. But I am over it now and since I started in the middle of June when I was at my heaviest ever I have now lost a total of 68 lbs. I have lost 26 lbs since the surgery 3 weeks ago.

I hated it and cussed myself for doing it several times during the first 2 weeks. Threw up quite a bit from eating too fast. I am doing a little better on that now. I went and bought a little kitchen timer LoL. But I have come thru ok. Will post more later. Thanks for all the replies y'all.

That is why I am doing it. I have a 16 year old daughter and she always wants me to go do things with her and I can't walk to go do them. When the dietian did our class she told us to set goals for 1 month' date=' 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. After talking it over with my girl, I set my goals as, 1 month- lose enough (about 35 lbs) to be able to get on our treadmill again, 3 months- go dancing with her on New Years Eve, 6 months- take her to the amusement park without a wheelchair and actually get to ride the rides, and 1 year- go back to Hawaii without a wheelchair and hike up DiamondHead with her. The last one may be a little too optimistic but both she and I would settle for the first part of it. LoL And I would love to be able to snorkel or scuba dive there. None of these things have I been able to do in years. So I am staying positive and keeping the faith that this will be the life changing experience I am praying for.
