Louisiana checking in

Have my sleeve surgery date set.....5/16/18. Meet with the surgeon tomorrow, and actually started the liquid pre op today, just because I wanted to.

53 yr old dude, work in construction, but more in management than blue collar, and the weight finally has caught up. I'm 6' 1", and weigh 378. I'll get some pics up after a few months post op, and y'all can journey along.

I've enjoyed reading here ...

welcome Jimbo glad to see another male around here. Not really sure why but this surgery tends to run more females than males. Most likely the higher pressure society puts on women to be slim while men just seem to get away with fat easier. Well welcome anyway, The next weeks could be tough on you but hang in there and it will be worth it in the end.

Thanks for the welcome, allwet!!!

Yea, I have a couple family members that have had this, and 2 men from work that have also done this......they are all success stories.

I have 4 brains to pick, advice givers, etc. I played college football, and was mostly healthy through the years, but let my weight get away from me the past 15 or so years.

I'm definitely dedicated to the lifestyle changes to be made, and will happily share my journey, to hopefully help others.

Hi fellow Louisiana. No date for my surgery just starting this journey, my plan have you go through phases and I'm in the phase 1 Keto type diet right now. Good luck to you! I find it interesting you used to play football, I think that will help you with your success because you've been trained to work hard towards a goal. I will look forward to your updates!
