Hi everyone,

My name is Donia and I live in Oklahoma. I will be having gastric sleeve surgery in 2-3 months and wanted to introduce myself. I have been busy with appointments and learning from my dietitian, exercise specialist, and others to help ensure a safe and successful journey. I have started really focusing on my protein intake and am amazed at what a difference it makes. So glad to have found this group!

Welcome!!

Hi Donia, I'm from Oklahoma too. This is an amazing journey we're going on. It might seem overwhelming at first, but it will get easier. Best of Luck!

Hi Donia! Welcome! You are very smart coming here before your surgery. I wish I would have thought about looking for this after surgery! A lot of very good posts and advice!! Good luck on this journey!
