My name is Linda I live in south Florida. I am a God fearing woman. I married the love of my life and we have 3 children. 2 girls 1 boy ages 15, 9, and 7. I have tried losing the weight on my own but have never lost more than 50lbs. Now I find my self at the highest I have ever been 345lbs and just desperate to be healthy, I currently awaiting my insurance approval. I work for t-mobile and I can't wait to be healthy and feel good again.

Hello fellow prayer warriors I am currently awaiting insurance approval for my upcoming surgery. Please pray that we will get an answer soon and also pray for me to have peace and know that God is in control. I am trying to get the surgery done while my kids are on summer vacation but the longer this approval takes the less likely that will be. My name is Linda

@@ladycook9713 if you do need to buy another dress that would definitely be a awesome reason.... "Sorry honey I had to buy another dress because the one I got is too big and just falls off of me" lol

Hello ladies, my name is Linda. I am also looking for a buddy. I am in the Coconut Creek area. I am awaiting my insurance approval and the surgery date. I got all my pre op stuff done. I am married, 35 (36 on Thursday ???? ) I have 3 kids, ages 15,9,&7.

Such great info! Thank you so much.

I am in the process of trying to find a shake that I like. I have never liked chocolate milk or milk for that matter. I am waiting for my surgery date and will need to do my preop diet which includes shakes, then I need them after my surgery. So far I have tried premier protein (strawberry cream) I can only drink about half before it makes me want to barf. jay Robb (strawberry flavor) is just yucky. I got the unjury in sorbet and chicken soup flavor I just haven't tried it yet. I need something that will taste fruity. Can I add frozen or fresh fruits to my shake? Won't that increase the sugar and calories? HELP? Any advice is much appreciated.

I have never liked chocolate milk, milky products period. Ugh... I've been drinking shakeology but the sugar content is 7 or 8g and I need it under 5. Any tips for making protein shakes more fruity?

Do you remember the name of that protein shake? Mind if I follow you on mfp? I am baseball_mama1621.

Thank you so much that really helps. I HATE the protein shakes... Glad to know you can be successful without them. Do you use my fitness pal or something similar to track your meals? Sorry for so many questions I just need this surgery to be a success and want to use the tool as much as possible. I have done all my pre op stuff and am just waiting for my insurance approval. The wait is driving me CRAZY!!!!

What is your daily eating like? I am the same starting weight range and hope I lost like you. At 3.5mths you look GREAT! GO GIRL!!! ????

Having to lift up my belly to wash my vagina! Having to tie my laces... (I would just take my shoe off put it on the counter tie my laces and put it on) Not huffing and puffing after walking the dog!

I'm in! Starting weight 345 goal weight 299

Hello all, my name is Linda and I live in south Florida. I am currently 342lbs and am awaiting my surgery date. I have been super busy getting all my pre-op stuff done. I am so nervous about the weight I have to lose. I need to lose at LEAST 175 to get me to a healthy BMI. I am having my surgery at Cleveland Clinic with Dr Rosenthal so anyone who has experiment with him I'd appreciate your info and/or insight. I don't know anyone my size who has done this and am looking for any advice or wisdom any of you have to offer. I am hoping this board will offer me the support, understanding, and kindness I am looking for.
