I'm in the program. I've decided on which surgery. I've found a support group in town that meets once a month. And, most importantly, have the insurance ok. I've met with the internist and pulmonologist and had the psych evaluation.....I'm moving forward but I've only lost 20lbs so far and have 45lbs still to go before they'll do surgery....I'm hoping it'll be sometime in March...I think I can lose that in a few months...I'm 409lbs(approx). But getting around my 'inner excuse soap box' is HARD! I need to buckle down and start the Protein Shakes and just haven't yet....anyone have any motivational you tube videos they've watched? Or TedTalk Or even a magazine article that really spoke to them?

I understand this thread is old but I am just starting my journey and would like to know if there's anyone wanting to meet up for support etc?

I'm in Silverdale but it appears this thread is old...looks like I'll have to go to Seattle for support groups

I've read(and that's all since I'm still pre-op) that calories can vary....from like 600-1000(per day)
