Yesterday, I began my pre-op classes which will end at the end of July and so, I am expecting a surgery date in August 2014. That seems so far away right now, but I'd like to jump in feet first from the start. I'm looking forward to sharing and supporting each other in this journey!

I'm scheduled for August 4 with Dr. Lopez in Puerto Vallerta. I've been reading "The Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve" and just working on preparing mentally and emotionally. I am fortunate that a good friend is traveling with my to be my encourager and supporter.

Hello All :) I'm Michelle ( my family calls me Micky). This is my first post. I just wanted to say Hiiiiiii.

My surgery date is set for August 25 @ OCC and I'm so excited. A big decision but I am so ready to

change my life style. The nutritionist tells me I need to aim for a total loss of 26lbs before surgery

(found that out this morning) so its a good thing I started my day with a Protein shake LOL

Anyhow I just wanted to say hi. I look forward to getting to know all of you as we embark on this journey together,

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
