Hello!

My name is Xaimara, I am 37 yrs old. I have been on a weight loss journey for the past 6 years, my starting weight was around 450 pounds (2012), I am currently 354. I will be having RNY on May 14th, and I can't wait! Losing weight on my own has been difficult, but certainly worth it. With the surgery I hope to gain a new, healthier life. The thing I am most looking forward to is saying goodbye to my diabetes medication and the BiPap machine.

I hope to gain some knowledge and meet more people like me in this forum.

Hello and welcome! Congrats on how far you have come already. Not sure if you have seen the daily menu thread yet? It's a good thread to follow and participate in as you can see what others are eating at different stages and rally support and encouragement from a great group of individuals.

Hi there! I'm kind of new too - new to RNY but not WLS. I read the menu thread most days and post on some days. Everyone has been very helpful. Congrats on the weight loss so far and good luck with your future surgery!

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

Hi Xaimara! So good to see you here! How exciting that your surgery date is fast approaching! Does your surgeon require you to go on a liquid diet before surgery, to shrink your liver? I think you're going to do great!

Hi Xaimara,

Welcome! I was about your age when I had RNY, it was the best decision I ever made! Good luck and let us know any questions that pop up. There's always someone who has "been there, done that" :)
