HIII everyone my name's Adriana I'm 26yo and I'm finally ready to share my journey. I started the process feb 2017 and I will have my surgery August 14th ( yikes, 8 days away). I chose to have the rny gastric bypass. I've been overweight FOREVER, I've never been skinny or under 200 which was my lowest weight at around 16-18 yo and that's because I started suffering from hyperthyroidism, as soon as that went under control my weight kept going up to about 240 last year it went up to 265 and felt horrible, so uncomfortable, out of breath and just unhealthy. I've changed my eating habits and started eating healthier. I've started swimming and aqua Zumba classes and I love it. Right now I'm on my pre-op diet which consists of 2 shakes and 1 complete meal which is pretty good to me. I have fears of doing this and not losing a pound, I've just been fat for so long can't imagine myself any differently. Please help me with these fears. I'm in NYC would love to have a buddy going through the same thing nearby. My husband is probably tired of hearing yap about my fears/expectations of the surgery lol.
