This will be my first post but I know not my last, I appreciate this site and my heaviest was beginning of November 2018 and once cleared to speak with the surgeon he put me on a two protein shake and 400 calorie dinner regiment and I have been swimming and drinking a Gallon of water a day (I know that wont be happing for a while). My Date is Dec 18 and VSG just 8 days away and I am currently at 401. Trying my best to stay dialed in this weekend was the toughest as far as discipline and I had a couple cheat meals the Doctor last saw me at 401 and approved the date for the 18th now I'm turning it up a bit this week, Thank you for this opportunity to take this Journey with you all Prayers, and well wishes and advice go along way....... Thank you
