Journey Begins 10/22/2018

October 23, 2018, I started my journey towards weight loss surgery (sleeve). I am so excited to get this weight off and keeping it off. Please feel free to post if you are with me and just starting. The surgeon said it will be about 3 months until I get my date to have surgery. I will wait patiently and do everything that is required reach my goal. My starting weight is 266lbs and my short term goal is 199.75 (to get under 200) and my long term goal is 160lb. in the next could of years.

  • Congrats! Lots of changes coming your way!

  • Congrats on starting your journey. I know when I first started, it seemed to take forever for the actual surgery to happen. Now the journey getting there and the 6 months after my surgery has went by

  • So excited for you and your journey. Waiting until surgery was probably the hardest part for me, and losing hair. But the hair grows back and I never went bald and the waiting ended. Wishing you
