My name is Kimberly I am 47 yrs old and I am a diet pro. Lol I can diet with the best of them, it is that yo-yo that gets me every time. Except this one. In the past 6 yrs I have been to 3 seminars this time was different my head and heart are in the same place. I AM READY .

I started this journey on March 7th this year and am hoping for a surgery date in early to mid October this yr. I understand that my first visit with my doctor did not count, but that is the day I began this new life change. I started following the diet program they gave me the very next day and have not looked back. I dove in head first. I am up to

1 1/2 to 2 hours of exercise 6 days a week with 1 off day. I go in and weigh myself at the office every 2 weeks. I have lost 30.2 lbs as of 4/11. My first group meeting is on 4/25.

I look forward to this new life journey. I have nit decided which surgery I would like to have. My insurance pays for the Bypass and the sleeve. I have time to decided and see what my doctor recommends

I am seeing Dr. Gorsuch in southwestern Michigan.

Welcome! I am similar in that respect. I started the process twice before, but each time felt like I SHOULD be able to do it on my own. This time was different and now I’m 3 weeks away from my surgery.

Welcome to the forums, lots of great people and a wealth of knowledge to be had!

Welcome and let us know if we can be of any help.

@kimberlymi

welcome, welcome, and welcome

looks like you are doing great pre-op. one big thing you can practice on are water rules.

stop drinking 1/2 hr before you eat, don't drink while you eat, wait 30 minutes after

you eat, before you can drink. at the end of the day, always follow NUT/doc rules. he

might give you different time periods, instructions about anything.

keep researching about the sleeve and bypass. info on u-tube and the board.

KNOWLEDGE is POWER!!!

good luck
