Hi, my name is Erin - I am 36yrs old - married mom of 2. On August 28th, I am having the Gastric Bypass Surgery. My surgeon does two weeks of a liquid high protein diet before the surgery, so I am currently on day 4. I've lost 8 lbs just since going to this liquid protein diet on Tuesday. I've lost about 15 prior to this.

I began my journey back in January when I was accepted into the Surgical Weight Loss program at my local hospital. I've had monthly appts with my regular doctor, nutrition classes, physical therapy, support group meetings, psychological testing, one-on-one with the nutritionist and surgeon. It's been a long process but I know it will be well worth it. This is something I've been thinking about doing and researching for about 3 yrs now.

Looking forward to meeting others who are in this journey as well!

Thanks,
Erin
