Yes I'm ready, I'm eager to move forward with my life. I'm 51 yrs old and the last 8 years have been rough causing me to gain 100 lbs. I want the last half of my life to be different. I want to be healthy, I want to be active, I want to be mobile.

You?

I'm sorry for whatever you've been struggling with. 8 years is a long time! Honestly, without a lot of stress I've gained about that much in a year (after losing as much just as quickly). I'm 55 and wish I'd done this a long time ago. So many wasted moments just because I wasn't able to do something physically. I totally understand about wanting to be active. I've become a hermit this past year. My mom died in March, and I've just put on more weight. We need to make this work, and get out there and live.

And I will be cheering you both along, I have faced people saying I was silly, foolish, too old, should be satisfied the way I am, hope I will succeed, for this is my time, my chance, and your chances too for a brighter healthier future. Let's do it and prove the nay-sayers wrong, I'm up for it, how about you?😛👍😛

Having my first post op appointment tomorrow July 18. Looking forward to my first weigh in. No major problems other than I started getting hungry yesterday.

Congratulations Joe on a successful surgery and the start of a new life. Proud knowing you!

I’m late to this post but I’m 7/30 in Minnesota!! How are all of you doing right before or right after surgery?!?!

Hey, congrats on July 30th. I’m next Wednesday July 25. I’m 8 days into the two week pre-op diet and I’m 8 lbs down. But I currently have incredible Head hunger and boredom hunger. Smelling my husband cook at night is like torture.

Congrats! I know how you feel. My process took 8 months too.

Idk ...I'm happy but I didn't have the same experience as most...I'm here in Columbia and my Dr did not require a liquid diet. But he said I should only have a light dinner, like Soup nothing heavy.

@lillybilly, hooray --you are back, been missing you, wondered what happened? I haven't had my surgery but do have,as of yesterday, a confirmed date of September 5th. So a little while longer to wait for mine, but no less desired. I will be praying, sending good wishes and anxiously waiting to hear everything went well. Please post and let us know!😝🌴😝
