Hey y'all, I got the call!!!

I'm so excited. I go for my first appointment 3/20. I'm going to see the nutritionist and have my psych eval, as well as watching a film???? I'm trying to keep myself even, but it isn't working too well. I am so ready to change my life and really feel this is the answer for me. I know it will be hard and a lot of work, but this time I feel like there is real hope. I have learned so much here that I think I'm going in with my head on straight and well informed in my decision. So if I act a bit goofy, I did do my homework.

hugs...cat:thumbup:

Thanks Texgirly, I have to admit to being a bit nervous. I've been waiting so long to get started I feel like I'm stuck in starting position and need a good kick to get moving. I'm going to be leaning on this site a lot since I live in a tiny town and there isn't a support group nearby or at least driving distance at 3.50 a gal. I do have a friend that is going in for a gastric bypass about the same time I'll go in for my surgery, so that is helpful. Guess we may have to start our own support group. :biggrin2: I feel like I can do anything now!!!

hugs...cat:thankyou:

hey Cat - Elisa and Becky are right - nervous is ok and expected. You are about to make some major changes in your life (that is where my nerves came from) and it is surgery. But it is worth it. Tomorrow will be officially 2 weeks since my band and I am down by 15 lbs. already. I am expecting that to slow some as I enter the mushies phase. I started back at the gym last week and will continue that, so a few more calories will feel better.

Can't wait to see your progress too!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
