I would like to introduce myself. My name is Cherie I am 44, I'm 5'7 1/2 and my BMI is 48 I think. My starting weight was 300, but I went to see my regular doctor today and I have lost 4 pounds so I am going in the right direction. I have started my gastric bypass journey.. So far I have went to the information seminar, did blood work today, I have my psychological test on April 7th, April 9th I meet the doctor, nutritionist, have a fitness class and nutrition class then on 21st I go back and review with psychological doctor my results. This is so exciting and something I have wanted my whole life. I love that I have found this forum and look forward to talking with you all and being positively motivated throughout.
