Hi everyone. I just joined this website today and am excited to have found a place that offers so much support and advice. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, yo yoing between a size 4 and a size 24. I have tried exercise, diets, juicing and Weight Watchers, but have never been able to keep the weight off. I am hoping that my gastric sleeve will help hold me accountable to healthy eating and that this support group/ the support of family and friends will help me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I am scheduled for surgery on 6/27/13 and am on day 2 of my pre op diet. I'm kinda cranky but doing ok I look forward to getting to know everyone. Right now I am definitely both scared and excited, and would love to hear y'alls success stories and recommendations, especially pertaining to surgery preparation and post op. Thank you!
