My Journey and Support

Good Morning, I have been reading this forum for quite some time. You ladies just ROCK! Your confidence, your advice, your suggestions, etc., are so informative. I have always been a believer that you learn more from those that have gone through it. I stumbled across this site while trying to figure out what I wanted to do in my life. I knew gastric sleeve surgery was definitely in the cards. So after lengthy conversations with my husband, we jumped in. I made my first doctor's appointment and dietician appointment and was able to get all the information from my insurance company. I am just thrilled to go through this process. My journey started on February 15, 2016 at 225lbs. My insurance is dictating that I see a dietician for 6 months to follow my progress. I am okay with that. It makes me accountable for weight loss and solidifies my journey. A little more than 2 weeks, I am eating a high protein diet, walking and have lost 7lbs so far. My husband and I have decided not to share this journey until the surgery is scheduled. My goal is August or September for surgery. My weight loss goal is 85lbs with a final weight of 140lbs. I am so excited. Keep the information coming. I so appreciate you ladies.
