Thanks @MaggieH2 and @AshAsh1 ! Look forward to seeing your before and after pics, Maggie!

That is good advice! I will definitely break it down to them so they are not worrying so much. You have a wise Nana! Words to live by! lol

Thank you and the same to you! I have started now half days on liquid just to ease my way over. I will say that I am not looking forward to it but I will look at all these before and after pictures and imagine my life with potentially not being on metformin and I will push through!

@Sosewsue61 thank you! I have Premier Protein on my desk right now! I agree it is time to get excited!

@TLHvsg2018 it is so very important to get rid of the toxic people in your life before making this decision. You are already "hotter" than them because of your heart! Now you are taking the steps to have that heartbeat for longer in your new healthy body! Yay to being my surgery buddy! I am grateful for the support! I just peeped your profile and you are gorgeous! They just hating lol!

Hi, GlamGirl! Mine is April 24th!

Mine is also 4/24!

Bow chicka wow wow! Beautiful!

A few weeks ago, my doctor referred me to see a bariatric surgeon. I had never considered weight loss surgery, but I took a chance and did my initial consultation already. The doctor said I would be looking at getting surgery in March. However, I am currently in the process of building a home. The closing date for my house will not be until late May. I have yet to experience the stress everyone mentions, but I heard that it is sure to come. For those who have had surgery, would you recommend I put off surgery until after the house is completed?

Thank you, DropWt4Life!

Thanks, Emgem! This is exactly what I needed to hear.

Of course! I was just wondering if others who have done it believe the level of stress during that project would be a healthy decision!

Matt, Let me start by saying, awesome name and picture! I love cats. I am sorry to hear that you are not feeling the best right now. Understand, that you are not alone. The great news is you are down 10 lbs already! Every victory no matter how small is a good one. Keep strong and push forward! You are almost there. Go Matt Go!

For those of you who are planning to use TRICARE Prime, today I discovered the stipulations and thought I would share. I am required to see a dietician and exercise expert for three months and receive a psych evaluation. Of my dietician visits, I must visit at least once with the dietician on base.
