Hi all,
I'm 41 and need to lose 160 pounds. I started the liquid diet Sunday and my surgery is December 11th.
I am excited, nervous, scared and all sorts of emotions jumbled up. I find myself scouring the forums which my doctor advised me against because while there's lots of information there are also equal amounts of negative or incorrect.
I would LOVE a mentor who started their journey around my size and around my age. Things I am worried about are.. will I look like really bad when I lose weight because I have so much to lose and my age. I know that I will have loose skin but I can never afford plastic surgery.
Thanks so much :whatchutalkingabout
