Hi there! I am new to this and just needed some support and words of encouragment to help me not fail at getting this surgery. I have tried the progam before but only made it to the 3 month. This time is different i can feel it i am actually in the mind set full power to do it and make a new better me and feel better about myself and healthy. I am 38 years old and i want to start my new thin life and after surgery I want to go back to school and get my bachelors degree. I am here for anyone that needs to talk.

Thank you Dianeseattle!! Your words help! In a month I’m going to start cutting meals smaller then I have now. Right now I’m on a 1200 calorie diet and this fulfills me. Tommorow I’m starting no drink with meals. Next week I’m timing my meals how long it takes me to eat! I am scared of the surgery part though!

Hi Poopsi and Welcome!!

I, too, started this journey years ago and decided I didn't need the help that I could do it on my own. NOT! But we didn't have the web then nor this wonderful group to help us all through.

This journey started 7 months ago and I'm now in the wait (weight) state for elective surgeries to be allowed. During this time I think I've read every post ever written on this board and have gained much insight. I'm scared. I've already had many surgeries for other conditions that I'm just sure my time might be up with this one but if I don't have the surgery, my time might be up anyway. I'm 72 and would like to finish this life healthier and happier.

Ask questions. Receive the support and friendship of these wonderful people. Welcome and have a good journey.
