I'm super shy and haven't really reached out to anyone yet. My entire process started really slow and has literally been moving so fast that it's hard to keep up. I started this process in July. My highest weight was 401 and my current weight is 360. I met with the surgeon yesterday, my surgery is scheduled for next Friday and my liquid diet starts today. It's hard to believe that I've met all my goals, got cleared from nutrition and psychology and saw the surgeon in just a few months. It been almost surreal. I'm hoping to make a few friends and help encourage people going through this process too! Here's a little bit about me:

Name: Angel

Age: 26

Height: 5'8

Cw: 360

Hw: 401

Nice to meet everyone! Good luck on your journeys. [emoji3]

One good thing about those vivid dreams, you save a lot of video rentals when your body and mind process these things " in house"! There I am ?being chased again!??????

Congrats!! You have done amazing so far- what a great start!!! :)

Good luck on your surgery, I'm sure you will do great. I'm 6 days post op and I'm doing really well. Just make sure your first week post op you get all you liquids and protein in.

I'm glad you decided to post, Angelx! Can anyone suggest a thread for a "newbie" like me who is just getting started on this journey? I'd like to read about other people's experiences from the "get-go" so that I know better what to expect and can get/give support. My husband and I are scheduled for our first consultation this Thursday, and I'm excited, but also scared!
