New to BariatricPal...

Hello everyone,

I am new to BP and I'm just getting myself acclimated to the site. I am 3 months into my 6 month physician supervised diet, and time seems to be moving so slow.

I have tons and tons of questions and I've been reading through a lot of the threads here, and getting a lot of good ideas and advice. Is there anyone else here that is going through the 6 month process? How are you dealing with the long wait time?

I'm really looking forward to participating on this site, because I really don't want anyone to know what I'm doing other than my daughter who is my support.

Welcome! You will find lots of great people with a wide variety of experiences to share. I'm 3 months in...and have about 2 more to go before surgery (I had a trip planned so surgery will be postponed a few weeks from the earliest I could have done it). The time seems to be going fairly quickly to me. Maybe that is because of all the tests/appts/stuff that I've had to do to get the insurance packet ready to go I figure every pound I lose before surgery is a pound I don't have to lose after...deep right? Anyway, hang in there and the next 3 months will go by faster than you think! Beth

Thanks Beth! I've had quite a few different appointments, and I guess I just haven't looked at it that way. Maybe I should start looking forward to all these upcoming appointments. I don't have any this coming week, but I have an endoscopy scheduled for the 24th. I'm sure I'll start to feel better now that I have someplace I can come and talk about things with people who totally understand what I'm going through. Thanks for the kind words of support... Michelle
