Hi Everyone! I'm new here and just started a blog to keep track of my journey. I'm very interested in finding out more about others and sharing info. Everything has been submitted to the insurance company for approval and a preop nutrition class has been scheduled for March 19. Next will be the actual surgery date which is soo exciting! I'm very nervous about the 2-week liquid preop diet. As someone here said, if I had willpower when it came to food, I wouldn't be in this situation weighing 211 pounds at 5 feet 4 inches! I'm 56 years old and tired of being fat. I have been telling myself for over 15 years, next year I will lose weight. I have attended WW countless times, and every other diet under the sun. My husband was sleeved last year and has done wonderful - down over 100 pounds. It's time to change! - Joni

Hiya Joni! Welcome to the board!

Listen, if I can do it - you can do it. I'm the worst when it comes to dieting (food) but I look toward what I'm good at. Such as maintaining my workouts and getting to basics when I really need to. I made it! You will too.

You are especially fortunate too that you have a live in coach! That is so awesome. Cheers to both you and your hubby.

Thanks for replying Irene and for your words of encouragement - It feels great to make a connection to someone!
