Hi,

I am new to this as of this month. Because of my insurance I have to go for 6 months to supervised weight loss and nutrition meetings. Which means if everything goes well I can have surgery in Oct. I have a BMI of 38 but have sleep apnea and high cholesterol. I am 55 years old and live in Pittsburgh, Pa. Anyone else on here from around here? Will be checking all the information on here so I know what I am getting into.

Hi ashley! I wish I was that close!! Good for you, losing 20 lbs. already! Your well on your way. I am pretty excited about the whole thing. Did you have to do the supervised diet for 6 months? Did you have to keep a food diary. I am finding that diary to be a pain!! We will stay in touch for sure!!

nope just 2 weeks prior to surgery just had to go on a liver shrinking diet... includes 4 Protein shakes a day, and 6-8 servings of yogurt, sf pudding or Jello, a small salad, 64 oz of liquids a day and vitamans and Calcium supplements... it's getting easier but the first few days were tough i am on day 6 and it is getting easier for sure.

that doesn't sound to appetizing! It will all be worth it in the end though. Good luck to you!
