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.

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.

Highest Weight 326

Yea! A surgery friend.  Did you start your pre-op yet?  I start tomorrow. I think it then all become real.  I am anxious and nervous all at the same time.  Good luck.

Topic: New here and surgery is 2-9-10
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.

Topic: RE: What is your ultimate Goal??
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.
