Here I go...all 310 pounds into surgery next week. Starting the high protein diet tomorrow. I have waited so long for this, and yet I am torn. Do I want to wait longer or start. I go forward nervous knowing that this is the best thing for me, my husband, my kids. Wish me luck.

It's tempting to think .. I'll put this off for a bit longer .. but why do that when it's going to transform your life .. for the BETTER? Your husband will adore you even more your kids will be so proud .. all the very best for next week .. I am having surgery next week too and sometimes I think .. have I researched this enough, but I feel like I am on a rollercoaster to get healthier and I don't want to stop to get off !

I hope everything goes well for you .. let us all know how it goes?

Just logged on for the first time since my surgery. Down to 241 lbs, net loss of 69 lbs.

I have to say that everything has gone fine, except that after 1.5 years I was down to a cup of food 3 times and day and not losing any weight. A friend of mine discovered a doctor to treat her PCOS. We chatted and realized we both had the same issue. So, almost half of that weight loss is due to being treated for PCOS. I am now losing 3 to 5 lbs a month. WOW!! Yes, my kids and husband are very happy for me and proud of me.

Hope everything went well for you bemused. ??
