I've been waiting a year to get to a surgery date for my RNY. I'm proud to say I have gone from 297lbs to 252lbs on my own, over the past year and finally have a surgery date. I'm 13 day says away from surgery and currently doing my liver shrinking (liquid) diet. I've had so many people try and discourage me but, they don't realize the health issues that the weight has caused me. Hopefully this will be a good place of support and positive vibes.

Thanks for listening (well technically for reading lol)

Can't wait to hear your story after surgery. You will do great. Good luck on surgery. If you need motivation afterwards please don't hesitate

Thank you so much! You look great...you are doing an awesome job so far! I truly appreciate the motivation!!!

Anytime. Be prepared for some life changes. But in your favor. Not sure if you're religious or not. But if so stay prayed up. Find something positive to stay motivated even if it's a will to live healthy and stay alive.???

Seems like you are well prepared and oh so ready for this surgery! Good luck and I can’t wait to read your update
