Just sayin hi!

[julietinpa 18]

Just joined like 4 minutes ago but have been creeping awhile! Just had VSG on July 3. So far so good. Still on clears until Thursday which is now getting rough! My name is Danielle I am 37 with 2 small kids and a hubby, 2 cats, 2 fish and a dog. I am a labor and delivery nurse and I love my job. Was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 10 months ago and that's when I made up my mind about WLS. Diabetes is scary and I want it gone! Been on every diet and exercise program known to man kind. Struggled with weight my whole life always known as fluffy or big boned. My highest weight was 248 at 5'5. I have already lost 10 lbs since Wednesday but am having a horrible time getting my Protein Shakes in. On Thursday ill be able to mix them with more than just Water so I know it will get easier. Thank God for boards like this. Thank you for sharing your very inspirational stories! I hope to be one of them to someone else one day!!!!

danielle

ahhhhh, another "creeper"

thats ok, most of us have done that been there!!!

welcome to the board

red carpet is being rolled out your way

careful not to trip!!!!

sounds like you are recovering fine????

like you (and many many OP here on the board)lots of diabetics on the board

one of the BIG reasons people want to get healthy, losing their weight and getting off insulin/meds

pretty shortly after WLS doc took me off insulin and meds, couldn't have been happier

come back here with more questions

or just enjoying reading the board (adding your comments)and gathering all the information you can get

take care

continued good luck
