Hello All! I have my surgery set for Dec 3! I have completed everything , except preops, to be done before Tgiving. Ive been heavy all my life, I will turn 50 next Feb and I want to get healthy! I have lost and gained 100lbs 3 times in my life, and I need this to be the last time.I am ready to change my life and get healthy. Im 5 foot 5 1/2 , 230lbs. I want to be 150. That has been the best weight for me, but Im willing to go further down! . My family is so supportive and my deductible is paid for the year and my surger will be a grand total of 254 dollars. I am contemplating what protein supplements to purchase, Ninja or nutrabullet.
