Welcome to the club and we are all gald that you joined. There is lots and lots of support and encouragement here and if you have a question simply ask away and it will be answered in a timely manner. First 3 days are the most trying and difficult for me, but after that it is smooth sailing. Just stick it out and you'll see. Be strong and remain focused. Keep us updated with your progress. God Bless, Joe |

Welcome aboard ABRANDNEWME! My EX-doctor strongly suggested that I have bariatric surgery or lap-band as an answer to losing weight and correcting recently diagnosed diabetes 2. Did you notice "EX"? You are 100% ... it is only a 'tool' to have this surgery and not a 'resolution' to lose weight! Good luck, you found a GREAT group of folks and program!

ABRANDNEWME, welcome to ADBB ! It's true, the first few days are the hardest. Just watch your carb intake and if you're hungry *eat*. I felt like I was eating all the time the first few days. Isn't it a relief to know that if you're hungry you get to eat? Keep coming to the board for information, support, and motivation.Good luck to you!
