YWeight 0 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi, It is my pleasure to be able to help. I want people that you too can be successful. I had a million questions myself and asked soooooooooooooo many questions. I feel that we know ourselves better than anyone else. And being 61 is fabulous. You are going to love this journey. Sometimes the people that you think that will support you might not. They be scared for you and not know everything that needs to be learned. It isn't time to educate them. After that they see you are becoming healthy and losting weight and getting off a lot of your medication then they might be willing to listen to you and how successful your weight loss is going to be. You will make lifestyle changes and NOT be on a diet. It is pretty easy to maintain. I wish you great success and please feel free to always come back and ask me any questions that you want. I am always here for you. Hugs, Suzanne Thank you soooo much and I will take a "rain check" on those questions..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suzannesh 376 Posted July 10, 2011 Hi, To all of you who have responded, I am please that my experience and knowledge may be able to help you. That is my goal. I still remember all the questions and feelings I had almost 3 years ago. It is my goal to be able to pay it forward. Maybe some of you will be able to do the same thing along your journey. There are so many people who are sitting out there and reading all these posts. They are scared to even post,and the are trying to consume as much information as they can by reading everything we write. It is always great to be able to talk with someone who has been down the road ahead of you. It takes a LOT of courage to have Weight Loss Surgery. Be proud of your choice, you are going to become healthy, happy and your body is going to thank you too. Just remember I am always an E-mail away. There are NO bad questions to ask. The bad one is the one you are too scared or embarrassed to ask. Just ask away. Hugs, Suzanne Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have any questions along the way, I am always here. If you get scared or have all kinds of feelings I am here too. I know how you must be feeling.

Congratulations on your fantastic loss and maintenance! Hi, I have NO problem at all with you reposting this. I want people to share this information. Some people have asked why haven't I just written a book yet. I guess because I want to make it more personal and just talk with people. Everyone always feels like NO one else has ever had issues or problems so they don't know who to ask. These boards are great places to get support. I am always just an E-mail away if you have any more questions. I am working on another list of things that I will put out in the next few weeks. You are doing a great job.
