Hi! Im scheduled for January 20th with Dr Koshy at St Luke's. CW is 290 and so far only 2 day liquid diet.

well I had my 1st born at 16 and when I became pregnant I was 167lbs and was skinny dipping. I see pictures and I say "omg I was so skinny" that's why Im aiming at 180 at least.

OMG congrats!!!

Im 5'8" and my CW is 290. I do not want to be any less from 175-180 but my surgeon is talking about 160 maybe 150. I don't want to look unhealthy.

nice! so excited for you guys too!!

thank you!!!

I wouldn't lie about the surgery. I would like to encourage others to get theirs done if possible. I don't pay mind to negative comments or let it affect me. I want to be someone's inspiration to do this like others have been to me. I've been lied to before on regards to the wls and its kind of disappointing to find out at the end the truth, just because I thought I could never do it. I wouldn't want others to feel the same. That's my personal opinion.

congrats!

I personally don't think its too early. It will be better for you in the long run. congrats on your weight loss!

good luck!

you look gorgeous !
