My First Post

[ready.set.go 1]

Hey everyone!! This is my first post. I've been reading all the posts/threads on here since I made the decision to have surgery 2 months ago..I am 375 pounds and have a long way to go. I met the bariatric team where I plan on having my surgery 2 weeks ago and had my psych eval last Wednesday and attended my first and only mandatory support group.. ( I plan to continue to go to support group even though I don't have too, found it very informative and helpful) My insurance requires me to go to 3 nutrition classes before we can submit for surgery approval. I had my first class at my first appt with doctor and have 2 more nutrition classes to go. I wish I started this Journey at least a year ago. In this last year I put on an extra 100 pounds. All this yo yo dieting really messed me up. I am thankful and grateful to have all of you, other then my Dr's office I've never shared my weight before, so this is our little secret . Thanks for sharing your stories and I look forward to chatting with all if you.
