Accountability and consistency is the key to success.

Hello, I am 53 years old and just in the beginning of my process. Lost my required weight prior to surgery, Psychological evaluation completed, meet with surgeon, meeting monthly with dietitian and now waiting for the perapproval from insurance. Hoping for April or May. Still to do on my list is joining a support group. My weight loss clinic has one but I would like this as an option too. I will be having the gastric sleeve surgery. Excited for this journey. Thanks for your support.

Coming up on my 1 year post sleeve surgery. It’s been a heck of a ride!! I’m down between 101-108lbs on any given day. Now just trying to stay where I am at around 171-177. I’m back in the gym after a 6 month hiatus. Need to tighten up. It’s amazing how confident I feel when I put clothes on now. I did like the shopping but it gets expensive!!! Also every person you haven’t seen in a while don’t recognize me then I have to explain what I have done and how it works!!! I find talking about my journey definitely helps with the process. Looking forward to year number 2!! Good luck to everyone having the surgery, stick to the process!!!

I am still waiting for my surgery, but I just had to tell you all I finally got to onderland today!!! I weighed in at 198.8 this morning!! I am so proud of myself. I have one more visit to my dietician and NP before I can even begin to have my surgery scheduled. I also still need to get cardiac clearence and an EGD done but I'm going to lose as much as I can before my surgery.

I am getting increasingly nervous, yet excited, for my Thursday surgery. Yesterday was Christmas and we decided to go to a Chinese restaurant where I ordered hot and sour soup. I drank the liquid and avoided everything else. It was strangely satisfying. I am down 11 lbs since the 15th. I am thankful to actually have work the next 2 days as it will help to pass the time. I am most grateful to my patient and understanding husband. Not sure what I would do without him
