Hi, welcome to the group! I think I kind of know how you've been feeling. I have my first appointment this Friday. Although I think my insurance does require 6 months of supervised weight loss so I will have some time to get into the swing of things. But I definitely have found this group to be so supportive and…

August goals: * Follow all instructions I am given at my initial assessment (this Friday!) * Keep setting aside at least 30 minutes each day to dedicate to being active * Keep up on exercise through finals week * Drink more water (now that I've stopped drinking with meals I've found that I don't get as much each day)

Welcome! Glad you found this group. :)

I hope it all went well!!! Wishing you both fast healing :smile:

Yay! Congrats :smile: That must have been nice to get some recognition for all your preparation!

I've noticed the same thing in the forums. When I first started seriously considering wls I was worried that admitting I need the extra help meant I was a failure...and reading some of those negative posts on this site definitely supported that thought. And I found that a lot of those posts are about people's friends or…

Good luck!

I think this is a great idea too! I'm going to start working on my own as well :) That must feel so good to cross items off that list!!!

Welcome! Congrats on your surgery. I'm just starting out the process and I have my initial assessment two weeks from today! Yay! I have found that the friends I've added from this group have done wonders for tips and motivation for my pre-op weight loss. I'll add you :smile:

I'm in the preop stage too and worried about this topic as well. I've been big my whole life and it's hard to imagine myself smaller...so when I think about what I'll look like after a lot of weight loss I just picture myself deflated (and that's not a pretty picture lol). But I know I need to do this to improve my health.…

Hello! :) I haven't had surgery yet, but I'm on this site everyday and working toward my pre-surgery weight loss. I'd be happy to friend you!

Thank you! Best of everything to you too! It must feel so exciting for you to be getting close to surgery. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey :)

Congrats! I am just starting the process of getting WLS but both of these are things I'm really looking forward to! My family seems to think I have a fear of roller coasters...but really my fear has always been not fitting in the seat.

Thanks so much everybody for all the kind words and advice and friend requests! I thunk you all are right, I should get as much out of my pre-op time as I can. I'm definitely ready to start making those gradual changes. I met with my primary doctor today and she's completely on board and I have an appointment for my…

Hello. I just joined this group today and would love to add more friends as well. Anyone on this post please feel free to add me :smile:

Hello. My name is Krissy. I'm just starting out on this site...for the second time :). Binge eating is one of my major problems. I'm only about a week in and its going well so far. However, I know that its normal to slip up now and then and I'm worried that the first time I binge I will get completely off track. I am…
