Hi Cheryl,
Thank you I am looking forward to surgery but nervous too. Its funny you should mention Little Britain, cause I know exactly where that is. Kind of out of the way a little. My dad use to have baseball tournaments there in the summers. I grew up mostly in Oshawa, ON but currently I am living in Niagara Falls, ON. Take care, good luck on your surgery too.

Highest weight: 320
Surgery weight 299
Current weight 294
goal 150
So good luck everybody in reaching your goal!
I am almost EXACTLY like you. I too am 5'7" with 150 being my goal....however I remember looking and feeling good at 180 a very long time ago.
My highest weight was 326, my starting weight for preop loss was 302 on January 1st and I am already down 29 lbs going into surgery at 273 unless I lose more by the 16th.
I see my surgeon on the 10th so I will ask if he has a goal for me.

HI all!
I have been hearing about this site in my nutrition classes. I have been working toward WLS for 19 months now and Tuesday is THE day. I can't believe its finally here. I am excited, scared, and nervous all at once. I am just ready to be done with the preparing and do this and move toward a healthier me. Its been a long road let's just do this already!
I have so many things going thru my mind at this point. So much info..afraid I have forgotten something very important.ha Don't dream of anything but hospitals and surgeries..latest nightmare is I will be the only person who has this and does not loose weight.
I look forward to meeting others like me and sharing as well. I am very glad to have found this site and I hope I can give as much as I get.
Wish me luck!

Topic: RE: Protein Shakes...
If you get tired of the milk based you can always try the nectar brand. Fuzzy Navel is my favorite. I also like sugar free carnation Instant breakfast b/c it is tasty to me. I just add powdered milk to the mix to up the protein.

I've been at church all day fixing bierocks to sell as a fundraiser. we took orders ahead, so we made about 600!! Am I ever tired tonight from standing all day. My feet and legs are going to be so glad when they don't have to hold up this fat body anymore.
Have a good evening.

Great post!
My ultimate goal is between 130lbs - 140lbs. I selected this as my goal. I'm on the low side of 5'6 and currently weigh approx 288lbs. I'm shooting for losing 95 - 100% of my excessive weight. Trying to aim high! I'll take 150lbs - 160lbs though. Anything higher might be a bit much, but I'm optimistic.
Sheri, we have the same surgery date!
We'll slide on the losers' bench together.

My doctor has not mentioned goals so I have chosen my own, here goes:
Starting 256
Current 244
Goal 140 - 150
Although I keep seeing that my ideal weight should be around 126 using the link below.
