Finally On My Way!!



Recommended Posts

Howdy All,

I have reading this forum for a few months and am now on my way to a sleeve on Feb. 10th. A few days ago, I had that infamous last meal and it was a learning experience. It interrupted a previous week of drinking Protein Shakes and going low carb/no junk. Now, I did enjoy that Last Supper. It was yummy. But, afterwards, I felt sluggish and in a food coma. Coming off a week of losing weight and feeling more energetic, I realized that I didn't want mass amounts of junky foods like I thought I did. Now that I am on the official pre-op diet of 2 shakes and a sensible meal, it is a bit of a struggle but I am glad to be back to a healthier lifestyle.

I am quite nervous about the surgery but I am also very excited at the prospect of losing all this excess weight that I have been gaining steadily since college. My BMI is around 51 and I hope to lose something like 180lbs:eek: which seems like such an overwhelming amount. I have closets full of clothes spanning just about every size from then to now. I even have a trunk full of clothes from high school that are now just hideously out of fashion:scared0:.

Thanks to everyone for all the support and the totally useful info I get from this place.

See y'all on the losers' bench!
