I just got my surgery date and I want to make some August surgery friends so we can share our ups and downs in the weight loss journey.

So true

Surgery date 15/8/2018

Everyone just remember you did not gain this weight over night you gained this over the years. So please don’t get caught up on losing the weight overnight night. Think about the weight you’ve lost and not gaining back. I was told I should be losing 1 to 3 lbs a week, my goal is 3 to 5. So I’ve done this by increasing my workout but I complete my workouts in the morning not at night. If I work out at night I tend to want to eat so by eating in the morning I have all day to eat and burn the calories. At night I eat and go to bed and keep the weight. We have done a life changing event. We all need to stay positive and take one day at a time.
