Here you go!!! There is one more, it's an informal group that a Forest Park Medical Center patient got started....for anybody, and it's on Saturday. I'm actually attending ALL of these groups, they're fun, informative and I really am a big believer in attending!! The Saturday one was meeting on the fourth Sat or the month, but I think we are switching to the third Saturday....we've been meeting at 12:30 at Season's 52, a great restaurant that has fresh food, and all meals are 475 calories or less. If you are interested, send me a message with your emal address and I'll get Kevin to add you to the email list! Medical Center Plano meetings are..... 2nd & 4th Thursday - Monthly - 6:00 p.m.

I live south of Dallas. My surgery is scheduled for June 24th :-)

I'm excited to have a new start, but yet a little anxious about all the details of what all I have to do right after surgery and all. But I have a great Dr. with a very supportive staff.

Blessings,

Lisa

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
