AlteredReality 152 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) I've been waiting a year to get to a surgery date for my RNY. I'm proud to say I have gone from 297lbs to 252lbs on my own, over the past year and finally have a surgery date. I'm 13 day says away from surgery and currently doing my liver shrinking (liquid) diet. I've had so many people try and discourage me but, they don't realize the health issues that the weight has caused me. Hopefully this will be a good place of support and positive vibes. Thanks for listening (well technically for reading lol) Edited June 12, 2018 by AlteredReality 3 1 Kimbero, Frustr8, Sosewsue61 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcirym2vp@yahoo.com 46 Posted June 12, 2018 Anytime. Be prepared for some life changes. But in your favor. Not sure if you're religious or not. But if so stay prayed up. Find something positive to stay motivated even if it's a will to live healthy and stay alive.😇😇😇 1 2 Pearldrop, Frustr8 and AlteredReality reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
