I'm scared as well but somebody on here told me that if you weren't scared you wouldn't be normal and a little bit of fear is healthy so we will hold hands and walk through this journey together ...

Hi, thought it might be a good ideas to tell you a little about my journey as I have enjoyed reading about others.

I'm 51 years old, a wife of 30 years and mother of two boys 25 and 18!

I have had weight issues from about the age of 9. My relationship with food has been one of love and hate! I have tried many diets, some have been successful, I have lost more than 90lbs on occasions, only for the weight to go right back on. This has made me feel like a failure, it has also made me feel out of control.

I have tried nearly everything! Including fad diets, starvation diets, pills and potion, ect.

I have had therapy which did help with the way I used food emotionally. It was my therapist that first mentioned WLS to me. At that time I was still of a mind that I could do this weight thing on my own.

I now realise that I have no potion control at all. I am indeed like a alcoholic when faced with certain foods. So three years after WLS, was first mentioned to me, and me now using food in a more appropriate way, I am as heavy as ever.

I know this surgery is a tool, but it is one I NEED! I need the restriction it will give me, the hunger feelings being hushed.

It has been liberating finding this forum! To know that I am not alone! To find others that understand!

I am looking forward to making this journey, to supporting and being supported.

How did everything go today?

Great! My weight in was actually 1 pound less than my first consultation ( im at 259 BMI is 48.4) and according to my Nut say if i keep it under 50 (bmi) im only required to do a 2 week pre-op diet. Everything will be submit to my insurance for approval tomorrow, so im crossing my fingers i get the call with good news soon!!! Im also waiting for the sleep study results... But that will not delay surgery as i can sign a waiver

Awesome!! My dr office won't schedule my surgery until sleep study is complete. Insurance is approved though. Are you having surgery in Detroit?

My middle child is at camp outside of Detroit right now. Ortonville...going there next Friday to pick her up.

What kind of pre-op diet will you be facing?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      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!!
