WTG Bianca! I weighed in today at doctor and was 10 down. Its been difficult but feeling better everyday. I definitely need to walk more and Im making that a goal. MY doc wants me to do 15 minutes 2x day. I am not walking that much consistently. I did get moved to stage 2 which just added in yogurt, strained cream Soup and farina. I didn't try much today because I have this lump feeling in my throat (weird) but hope to tomorrow.

Getting ready to have my RNY today. Nervous, excited, ready!!! Please send prayers for a safe procedure. Thank you all!!!

Hello everyone. I am still preop. My surgery date is 2/24/14. So excited and a bit nervous. Started my preop diet yesterday. I am hungry but I will manage. 28 more days and then one day of Clear liquids. I am hoping to get my bmi as low as possible so that my surgery is safer. Starting it was about 61.
I started this journey back in August at 330+ pounds, I am lucky to be 5"-2" and have set my first goal weight at 160. My ideal would be to get into a normal BMI range and I think for my height it is 125-135. I don't even know if this is possible. I have pretty much struggled all my life with my weight and the past five or so years I have packed on a good 100 extra pounds. I just really want to be healthy and have be able to see my old face in the mirror. I don't like looking at myself anymore because there is a stranger in the mirror.
My brother took a picture of me early last year. I saw it and about chocked. Goodness it was bad. I knew I was a big girl but that was an eyeopener for me. It was pretty much the catalyst that has put me on this journey. For that I am thankful. You are all an inspiration to me and knowing that you have accomplished losing a substantial amount of weight it gives me hope.
I wish everyone well and great success.
