And so it begins....

I guess I start here.

I've been overweight since early childhood. I've done almost every diet imaginable. I've lost bunches of weight and regained that back and more. I don't have a set in stone date for surgery yet, but my Dr. says it will be I'm July.

I went to my initial consult March 21st. My pre op nutrition class is June 21st and then my appt with my Dr. Is June 28th.

I'm guessing I start my pre op diet then. Not too sure how that works.

I'm not nervous or worried about the surgery. What is scaring the heck out of me, is that I don't know what it's like to be a thin person.

Any advice or thoughts are most welcome. And I'm looking forward to joining you on the losers bench!!!
