Newbie

I am 6 days post-op and so glad I found this site. 

A little bit about me . . . .
I have an auto immune liver disease that may one day require me to have a transplant.  That alone was one of the number one factors in considering WLS. 

I began the process in August 2011 and finally had surgery on March 5th.  In August 2011 I weighed in at 276.8 and signed a contract with my surgeon that I would not gain any weight.  By surgery day on March 5th, I was down to 248.  I lost the pre-op weight by following weigh****chers and attending Zumba classes.  I can't wait to get back to my Zumba classes. 

I am looking forward to interacting with you all. 

The surgery was tough.  I am so glad it is behind me!! 

Welcome to the board and all the best in your journey!

Congrats on the beginning of your journey.  It sounds like you are well on your way!  I have surgery scheduled for Tuesday, March 20 and want to get it over with and move on.  I am day 6 of 15 days of protein shakes, sugar free jello,popsickles and broth.  Not too bad - but taking it day by day.  I have had two meetings with the nutritionist but am curious what you ate when you got home from the hospital.

 Congratulations and welcome!

 Happy to see a new face, welcome!!!
Which surgery did you have ? I like Zumba at my gym too.
