Yep just goes to show you that if a 52 yrs old woman can do it there is nothing that can stop a young one (29) from being successful too..

1st thing to understand is that this isn't a diet - it's really about a lifestyle change in our eating.. Exercise - I am big on that - I started out slow and just worked my way up - and it's so much easier now..

I am glad that you are doing it at this age and not waiting - I think to myself why did I waste so many years being fat - You will see how much the quality of your life improves after you lose the weight

Hugs Janet

Hi-

Can any of you folks recommend an imaging center in the IE or SGV? Also, who did your psych eval? My wife is having a hard time finding a shrink to do it.

I live in the Palm Springs area - so can't help and this thread doesn't get much attention

My doc office referred me to shrink that was covered under my insurance - my doc called and made all the arrangements for pre op test and I had tons..

Good Luck

I live in Hemet and got my imaging done at Palm Imaging in San Bernardino. I got my Psych eval done by Inland Psychiatric Group. They have an office in Hemet and one in Redlands, I believe. Not sure where in the IE you are located. Just to let you know, my Psych evaluation was paid in cash, but still billed to the insurance company. I was told that insurance wouldnt cover the eval...but it did. Best of luck with the search!!!!

Hi Andrea

This thread isn't very active - you need support - I have a support thread - I'm here to help - look for it on the main page under mentors..

What's up?? How are you doing?? It does get better - you are still healing - what food phase are you on..

Congrats Ashly

This thread doesn't get much action ;0) - Mostly everyone sticks to their respective monthly threads.. Cedars is great I know a few who had their surgery there..

Prayers for a safe surgery & speed recovery - good luck on your journey...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
