    Hello everyone my name is Melanie and I just found out today 12/24/12 I got approved for my wls for an inpatient 1 night stay. I'm going for the sleeve gastrectomy. This has been quite a journey trying to get all my information together and doing everything my insurance companty required me to to in order to qualify for wls. So now I can't wait for my dr.'s consult and to continue on my weight loss journey. I do know I will have to do a two week liquid fast before surgery....ohhh so not looking forward to that, but I will do it successfully.
    Now in the mean time I have beeng going to the gym for over a month now 4 - 5 days a week at least an hour each time I go. I have lost 10 lbs in the past month. I was at 299. But because I don't eat the right foods all the time, Im kinda basically sabotagging my workouts. So I know with this surgery I will not eat nearly as much as I do now and my weight will be coming off alot faster. Because frankly I feel really good after my workouts so that keeps me motivated to go everyday. And want to thank my friend for pushing to go to the gym, she had been going for quite sometime and was always suggesting I should go with her. Well needless to say I was never on top of that, I always had an excuse why I wouldn't go.
    And I'm really inspired by some of the other stories I've been reading in this forum. So glad I found this site!
