I just wanted to share my happy news. For the first time in almost 20 years, I am under 300 pounds (299.2 to be exact). I am still pre-op with my fifth of six nutrition appointments next week but have lost 63 pounds so far since the surgery consult. And, even better, I have gone from 160 units of insulin per day to 20 units per day. It would be wonderful if I could drop to 0 units after surgery.

Thanks to everyone here for all of your support!
