YES I'M A NEWBIE! Surgery Friday with Dr Garcia.

Hello Everyone!  I been lurking for a few days now, but I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm  from Louisiana, but lived in Tn for over 18years.  My surgery is Friday and I'm very excited!  I also have a low BMI of 34.  Well not low for my height and my weight.  I'm 5'1 at 185 pounds and right now i'm on my pre op diet of 2 shakes and sensible dinner at night.  Anyway,  I'm glad to be here and I'll be checking out the other topics of this forum as soon as I submit this one :).   I can't wait to be healthy and sexy at the same time! lol

Welcome Leelee!  There is also a "Lightweights" forum with a lot of nice people there too.

• Thanks I will check that out

Welcome and good luck with your surgery!

Here's to your health and new life, leelee!

oooo thank you so much for sharing the links

don't expect to lose as many lb a week as others , light weights lose less lb per week , but about the same percentage of weight lose as heavy weights

Yea I read that about slow weightloss for people with less to lose.  Ill be happy just as long as my blood pressure and my cholesterol is down.
