    Default Working toward the (first) finish line!

    I've done my info session, nutrition class, met with my surgeon, had two appointments with the behavioral therapist, one appointment with my nutritionist, my upper GI test, and my endoscopy. I have my second appointment with my nutritionist on Monday to find out if I've lost enough to be cleared for surgery! I think I have...I am down 15lbs (what they wanted me to lose) by my scale and I'm hoping that within the next few days I can drop 2-3 more to ensure that their scale and mine match! I'm getting really nervous, but excited! I'm really nervous that she won't clear me for surgery, but I suppose if that happens then it's for the best, right?? We'll see!



    Starting weight: 320
    Day of surgery: 288
    Two weeks post op: 275
    1 month post op: 270

    Good luck! Even if you get pushed back a month it will still be totally worth it.

    Sounds like you're doing great! I don't see why she wouldn't clear you. You've done what was asked. So keep optimisticoptimistic! And keep us updated!
