Well, this is a new chapter in my life. I am 64 and have been trying to lose weight since I was 13 when my mother took me to a diet doctor. I have been on every diet and medication and have lost and gained at least 1000 pounds. My body type is the same as all the women on my mothers side, I'm just bigger. I have been working toward the surgery since July, jumped through all the hoops and waiting now for the date. Pre-surgery protein shakes getting boring, I'm so glad I found this forum.

Welcome!!!

Thank you, I've had a good day, bad day. All my tests have been sent to the hospital and I need to call next week for my nutrition appt. I can stop the pre-surgery diet until I get a date. Bad news is I need shoulder surgery once I recover from the bypass. I watched the UK TV show on Youtube "Fat Doctor" and felt so much better seeing such successes. The surgeries are shown so clearly it helps understand what will be happening.
