MAJIQUE 36 Posted April 24, 2014 I am really new here and just starting the surgery journey. Could use an experienced mentor and a friend at about the same point. I need to lose 100+ pounds but would be happy to have a healthy pain free body again. Have no in house support or accountability as I live by myself, not lonely, just alone and would like to share.

Zelda205 30 Posted April 28, 2014 I haven't told many either. My BF, mom and two kids. I don't until June 9. I have already started eating smaller and no liquids with meals. Trying hard to stay away from sweets. I eat organic mostly anyway now. Keep me I firmed with your progress. Have you taken pictures yet and measurements?

MAJIQUE 36 Posted April 28, 2014 No I actually never thought about measurements. I planned to do pictures. I have my pre- op appointment on the 14th. I bet they will take some pics for me. I will keep ONE old outfit. I have 10 sizes of clothes still in my closet. How crazy is that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
