Best,

Thanks you soooo much for your support. I will keep everyone posted on how things are going. I have to agree with you..... this forum is giving such a great opportunity to learn from one another......how cool is that? Have a great day!

Good for you girl.....recognizing and accepting that we need to do things differently(ask me how I know...heehee) is a HUGE thing. I wish nothing but success for you and your "GPS".

This journey is crazy, but so worth it. I put on a pair of pants today that wouldn't even slide on over my big rump a few months ago.
One day at a time! -

I went for my 2nd medically supervised diet appointment yesterday….and it was very educating. I was up a pound…which was probably due to the whole stopped smoking thing. I am pretty satisfied…I mean it could have been worse. I also found out that I am vitamin D deficient. I was told they have really only been doing research on this for the past few yrs but it looks like vitamin D deficiency is apparently an epidemic. I was also told that I have underactive thyroid. I don’t know a whole lot about this subject just yet…..but I plan on doing some major research. When I was handed an actual prescription for medication to treat this thyroid thing….I was really concerned. Not sure how everything is going to work out…..but I do know….IT WILL WORK OUT. I have an appointment to go to my bariatric office tomorrow for more of my pre-op stuff….chest x-rays and upper GI scan. I am feeling a little anxious but I am still positive that all things happen for a reason. Sooooo without sounding to cliché…my journey continues…one step at a time. -

My inner thoughts, I don't share.

Girl.... I know all about those things way way too well. I am miserable on a plane and I also "don't" like rollar coasters for the same reason. I havent had the surgery yet...i am still jumping thru all of the hoops with the insurance company.... but this site is great...there are a whole lot of people with so much positive energy and positive words. I have learned so much from here and I have been so empowered by the fact that here...you will never be judged...cause we are all fighting the same fight. Good luck to you girly. -
Vitamin D deficient?

Thanks so much for the info. I love this place!! -
hey, I know exactly what you mean about being fat an lonely!!! I thought that noone could love me, and be with me bacause I was fat, and I found a wonderful man before I started this process and he reminds me everyday that I don't need to do this for him, and I have to remind him everyday that I'm not!!! LOL, yeah I love how I can put down all my feelings about my weight and stuff on this site and then know that no one is going to be cruel and mean cause we are all fighting the same fight!!! Well I will definatly keep in touch, as you do the same. I try to blog atleast 4 - 5 times a week just to follow my own process and if it helps others in the process I like that!!! Well have a good day!!!

Thanks! I have every faith that I will be telling you the same thing next year! Keep at it, sister!
