Well, it's been a hectic journey so far. I'm 6'2" tall. When I started, my weight was 495. I had to complete 6 months of appointments with a nutritionist. Done. I have been scheduled for my surgery on 8/8/16. As of now, with just watching my food, and some exercise, I'm at 450. A small win for me as I have not lost weight in about 12 to 15 years, although I've tried!! I'm looking forward to the next phase of this journey!

Congratulations! You have done very well up pre op weight loss so far.

Glad to hear your surgery is scheduled. Do they have you doing a liquid diet in preparation?

No liquid diet to start. I will be liquid in the hospital for 3 days after then liquid consistency for 2 weeks after.
