So I found out today that my insurance approved me for gastric bypass and that my surgery is scheduled for Friday August 3rd WOOHOO I go for my pre-op diet class this friday which is my dad's birthday then Friday July 20th I start my pre-op diet which isn't all liquid. I'm now down to 257 pounds I weighed 315 pounds back in September/October time. I'm excited and nervous. I do suffer panic attacks so I hope those will get better also with weight loss.

I think that is so great! You have been waiting some time and making wonderful progress which is a good indication that you will be successful in taking off the rest and keeping it all off. Preparation is so worth it!! I am now in the prep phase also...all tests completed...just waiting for date.

Thanks I've been trying my hardest lol I hope you find out your date soon my husband is going to be shocked with my weight loss because he's an over the road truck driver and I only see him 2-3 times a month so he's definitely going to notice the weight loss after surgery

Congrats!! How did you use all the weight prior? I want to lose some before surgery...

I cut out all soda and started portioning my food and more exercise. I went from 315 to 290 just from cutting out all soda lol I've notice my stomach doesn't hold much anymore but it definitely wont hold as much after surgery lol just keep ur mind to losin weight and you can do it

Wow that is awsome! I too did the portion cut and started heavy on the Protein shakes! I have only lost a few pounds but I am starting to see some muscle!

Congrats on the date!!
