My stats: I am a 51-year-old female. I am 5'1" tall. My high weight on May 26 was 268 pounds with a BMI of 51 (super obese). I started my pre-op diet four weeks ago today. I was sleeved one week ago June 15. My current weight is 248 pounds and my BMI is 47 (morbidly obese). A 20 pound loss in four weeks.

I never dreamed that I would be so excited to be morbidly obese. I think the best part is knowing that I will never go back to where I was again because of the sleeve. In all past weight loss attempts there was that evil little voice telling me that I could gain it all back again if I failed. The little voice is gone and I know that any forward progress will be permanent. I know I will not fail!

Yay! Congratulations! I go next week. Wishing you the best.

Blessings! This truly is a gift from God!

Great job so far! We have the tools right in our hands to change our lives forever. Good luck!
