New here

I've been lurking here for awhile and finally made a profile so I could join in. I want to have RNY, but don't know how long the wait will be or if I'll be approved. I started a 1200 calorie diet plan on Saturday. My starting weight is 261 . Hope you all have a GREAT day! Think healthy! 

Hi Julie!!!! welcome to you!

I'm on a 1600-calorie diabetic food plan.  I can't see myself trying to subsist on just 1200 calories.  I'm slowly losing weight each month, so mine is working.  Good luck to you on yours! Denise Phares

When I went to the RNY seminar the surgeon suggested starting a 1200 calorie program that's where I got the number from. I drink 4 protein shakes, a frozen meal, veggies and fruit. I'm sick of writing down food, measuring, obsessing about what I'm going to eat next, etc. On this "diet" I can't binge because it's SO structured. I don't know I wi**** wasn't so dang hard. I wish after a certain amount of time it would get easier, but it just doesn't no matter what. Good luck to you!

Wanted to say hi! and this is a great place to start. Delilah
