Hey there! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. My date for surgery (bypass) is Nov 15. I’m getting all of my supplies gathered and hope to be ready to go.
I’m 5’4, and currently 252. I began the process at 271, but I’ve been working hard to get the 5% or more off before surgery. Do you feel ready? What state are you in?

Hi - I'm 5'0 and began my journey last December at 188lbs. I just had the Roux en Y procedure on October 19th so I'm 2.5 weeks out. I lost 12 pounds before surgery in those months of prep and entered the surgery room at 176. Since surgery I'm down another 16 more - 10 the first week and six this past 10 days. I'm losing faster than I thought I would but feeling great. I had 50 to lose - had surgery due to trying to avoid back surgery and getting 50 off would be almost a third of myself and docs felt like it would be a huge help. You will do great - I'm really happy I did this - only questioned my decision the first two days after surgery when I didn't feel very good. I attribute it to my positive outlook as well as making sure I got a good amount of protein in by drinking bone broth (12 gram per 8 oz serving), Arbonne protein shakes (20 grams per serving), and adding unflavored protein to whatever else I ate from jello to pureed peaches.....AND drinking lots of fluids which consisted mostly of water and warm peppermint tea. Good luck!
