Hi! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. A wonderful way to start a brand new year off. My biggest advice is take the journey as your own. Try not to compare your loss or success to anyone else's. It drove me crazy! Be kind to yourself also! Stalls will happen but don't get upset or frustrated it happens to all of us and my biggest point of advise is enjoy the discoveries and excitement you go through watching your body change.

I am from CNY also! Just wondering who your surgeon is? I have Dr. Dalencourt with Dr. Graber's practice.

I have Dr DeSimone at Crouse hospital. Only two weeks left! Getting psyched!!

I'm having my surgery in Texas on the 29th January...

Good luck all

I have my pre op test tomorrow. This month has gone by so quickly with all the appointments. The 29th is right around the corner. I also start my liquid diet tomorrow!!

Congrats!!! I got the go ahead today for Feb 10th. It is so overwhelming for me. Keep us updated!

Well I got my 2 week high protein/liquid diet but the surgery might be pushed back because of my thyroid levels being off the chart. However they have me back on the meds and will recheck me next week. As long as the levels are coming down they will do the surgery but if no change it could be another 6 weeks. I am praying that the meds kick in.

Are you hypothyroid? Did they have to increase your meds?

All the best.

Yes they increased them about a week ago but the levels were 7x higher than normal. I am just praying that it works out I don't want to wait another couple weeks.

Congrats on getting a date skinny_minnie
