ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR OMG I am menopausal as well and more than know what your talking about. have always been 40 - 50 lbs overweight all my life doing the yoyo thingy up then down up then down lol I must have lost and gained about 500 lbs in my life lol but since this menopause BS I have packed pounds bringing me to 80 - 100 lbs overweight. I have begun the WLS process and am looking forward to surgery to aid with dropping 80 - 100 lbs and putting an end to the yoyo effect. I wish you the best of luck and hope your weight loss picks up.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery

Oh thank you. It is very tough. lol Today I had a complete melt down. WOW I never thought quitting would cause such mood swings. Hey I see you only have 6 days to your surgery date, I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery.

My anticipation for surgery. I am at the very beginning stages. So far I have attended the orientation seminar. In July I have my 1st appt with the Social Worker then in August an appt with the Nurse and then finally the appt with the Dietician. Once I have completed those appts I will then see the Surgeon and be given a date for surgery. I find the process challenging for 2 reasons, (1) A criteria for surgery is I must quit smoking 6 months before surgery lol I am working on that one. (Week 1 no smoking OMG :-) ) ( 2) I'm nervous and excited at the same time and like the waiting period to be a little shorter. I know that it is important to go through the full process to prepare me for my new journey to a healthier life. I am open to hearing from anyone who can support me through both these challenges.
