Why were you postponed ?

I was postponed because my Doctor wants me to lose more weight before surgery. I am fine with that but I found out after it was all said and done that someone had not been keeping record of my weight loss and he thought I was still the weight that I was when he first met me. That was nearly a year ago and I have lost a significant amount since then. I was bummed at first but I am on this journey to lose weight and this will just mean I will lose more before surgery, sh*t happens lol

Yay,
Congratulations and welcom to the forum.
Not a bad idea to start a diary and that way we can all keep track of you. It isn't that we are nosy, well maybe a little nosy, OK so we are a bunch of nosy buggers LOL

Good luck on the journey, I know that I am still loving mine.

Cheers Gail

Hi all,

I have just been informed of my surgery date, I am getting it done on the 19th of March 2010. Been a long wait and I didnt think it would ever happen.I am starting the drinks this friday the 5th of March 2010,will be hard but i have been doing the drinks on and off and am use to the taste now. Will be glad when the surgery is done and then I can get on with life. I will be doing some before surgery pics and monthly updated pics to show how im doing. I am a little anxious which i would think is normal but also excited as well. I have lost a fair bit of weight already and it has impacted my life for the better so the future looks even brighter so bring it on.....
