Update!! I've been absent from this site for too long I had my 4th weigh in 2 days ago...I'm down 37.5 lbs since January 1st! I'm feeling good...2 more weigh ins and I guess i'll submit my paperwork to the insurance company! wow...time flys...

I'm in North oakland!

Thanks everyone! Great advice. It went really well. I have my nutrition appt on thursday, then I just weigh in once a month till june. So excited!

Any advice is appreciated!

Thanks friends. I'll still have to wait the 6 months, which is june. I weigh in again in 15 minutes...I'm hoping for at least a couple more lbs

Update! Everything is going well. I've lost 19 lbs. Since jan. 1st on the pre-op diet. Full of energy and still so excited for what's coming. Did my upper gi, my endoscopy, having my psych eval and nutrition class next week. How's everyone doing??

Congrats and best of luck! You'll do great! Positive thoughts and be patient with yourself. Reach out to all of us if you need support. Go get em!

Going in now! Any last minute advice?

I don't have a date yet. I started my medically supervised weight loss program on Jan 1st. I go to my second app next Thursday to weigh in. Pretty excited. I have a 6 month waiting Period per my insurance. So surgery probably mid to end of summer.

welcome home donaboss! Get your rest...we're all thinking about you!

Hello everyone! My medically supervised weight loss program begins today! I've chosen the 2 shakes and 1 meal a day... my plan is to have a shake for Breakfast, a shake for lunch and a mean for dinner. I travel a lot for work so I'm thinking this will be easiest for me. I plan on snacking on fresh fruit, nuts and veggies. Today marks the day that I give up soda, sparkling Water and all fast food. (fast food is the devil!) I'm excited to begin this new journey and I'm so grateful for all of the support that you all give me! please share some healthy recipes or snack food ideas that you have...let me know what works for you p.s. I have to lose 15 lbs in 6 months. Starting weight is 273.
