Wow thank you so much for the encouragement!! It means a lot! I'm defiantly excited to get the ball rolling! I'll keep everyone up to date!!

Hi there my name is Nate, I'm 17 years old and weigh about 394 pounds at 6'1 I've started to bariatric journey a little more then a year ago, I was scheduled to have the sleeve back in May of 2013 but I got to my two week diet and chickened out, worse decision ever.. I've gained 70 pounds since then but now I am back on track and I am having my surgery in October of this year! I'm soooo excited and pumped and just ready for a new life! I have some questions for you guys.. -What was one thing that REALLY got you through the liquids stage? -What was the worst part coming right out of surgery? -I'm currently a 3x shirt and a 46 size pants what can I expect? -Will I have a lot of loose skin? So there you go! Those are all I can think of at the moment! But I'm going to attach a picture of myself so everyone can see me.

Does anyone have an Instagram? I'm 16 currently going through pre op! Really wanna get in touch with some teens (:

I everyone I'm Nate I've posted on here a few times but here's my story- I'm 16 currently weight 383 and I am 6'2 I am just wondering what kinda things got you through I'm still in pre op for like 2-3 more months and I just want to know some good recipes for all the stages you go through .. If you have anything else you may want to add in to make things a little easier please do so!! Thanks guys (: -Nate

Hey everyone so I'm back at it again.. For those of you who don't know me I'm Nate I'm 16 I'm 6'2 and I weigh about 375 I planned having surgery may 13th of last year and I backed out ): but now in back and ready to go I'm hoping for April now so I'm wondering a few things.. I'm currently a 3x/4x shirts and 46 jeans what should I expect at the end of this journey? Also I am asking anyone to give me any tips or secrets about getting through all of this? Thanks guys!! - Nate

Any last minuet advice ? Any things that absolutely need that got you through ? How about what kind of protein shakes really worked ?

Thank you everyone

May 13th

I just found out that they put one in BEFORE surgery and take it out one - two days later ..

Thank you I'm so lucky I have someone like you!!

I've decided to go forward with surgery on may 13th !!

Yep I'm doing the same I start my pre op diet on April 29th !

I'm may 13th Yaaaay (: in Columbus Ohio !

Thank you all again ill keep you guys update with my decision !

My dad had gastric bypass and was sooo successful but he isn't a big fan of me having it , on the other hand me and my mom have been attending meetings with the bariatric team for over a year atleast once a month , therefore she knows a lot an she is there for me with whatever I decide and I'm having it at a children's hospital as well

Thank you all so much the support is amazing .. I meet with my therapist tomorrow I am going to talk it out with her .. But more than likely I will continue with having surgery !! Thank you all for sharing ! I'd be lost without this group!

So here's what's going on , I'm only 15 and I have my surgery date set for may 13th everything got approved and all and now I'm just thinking what if I can do this on my own ? How hard could it be ? I need help on what to do !

Hey I'm may 13th ! I weigh in at 328 ! I'm so excited for us all !!
