Hi there! My name is Yvonne. I have had fitness pal before but this time will be different...yeah, yeah, I know...Ive said that SO many times before. This time I am having a gastric bypass in a little over 2 weeks, on June 12th. On June 5th I go on a liquid diet. I most likely wont use my diary until I start my liquid diet, but I wanted to get everything sat up and going that way I couldnt procrastinate! I am trying to get friends/supporters so I have to be held accountable. Weight loss surgery is not a cure, but it is a tool. I must continue a healthy lifestyle even after I hit my weightloss goal so that I dont gain anything back. I am the biggest I have ever been in my entire life, Even when I was pregnant both times! I have battled drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and soda and won those battles with willingness and support and I plan to battle my food addiction in the same manner!
Please add me so we can support each other!

    I just had my consultation on the 5th. I always have been overweight and have struggled with losing weight. This is not the biggest I've been but close. I'm just looking for some support and encouragement, and to provide the same. Yvonne good luck with your surgery tomorrow.

    YvonneRae....how did everything go? How did u feel after surgery? How r u feeling now? Sorry for all the questions.

    I saw my primary care provider yesterday for all my preop and to fill out forms. I have a follow up with the Nutritionist on the 2nd. The Behavioral health provider already told me she would let the surgeon know that I am ready. Hopefully after the 2nd all I have left is a 3 hour Nutrition class and schedule my preop appt and surgery. Keeping my 🤞🤞🤞🤞!!
