Bunch of us can be January Twins. I am looking at January also. Met surgeon and I love her. Had one nutritional meeting and the next is next week. It is required that I lose 8 pounds before surgery but I have already done that. Using Baritastfic and staying under 2500 cal per day. Trying to keep carbs under 50 and protein around 80 but don't always make that. It is a little hard trying to do all three. I am 66 years old and have lost and gained weight since high school. Lost 50-100 pounds 3 or 4 times in my life. I just can't seem to KEEP it off. I get all kind of into a new project and then get depressed and start eating again. Hoping WLS will make the intervention I need. A few big factors inmate deciding to do this are, serious arthritis in my lower back has caused a lot of pain lately and then I find out my sister had RNY a year ago, A niece did 3 years ago and a friends daughter did 3 years ago. When I found out all of these people were doing successfully on top of the pain I was experiencing, I decided to go forth and 'check' it out during the pre op steps. Wasn't long into the step that I am full on go. Git er done!
