Hi I had to do the same as you go through a 6 month program and it had yo be a baractric center program of excellences , I was approved for surgury after my first orientation meeting, from start to finished it took 10 months. That was because I had yo wait fir a surgery date, the time flys fast and I learned do much in preping for this surgery, I had the opportunity to make positive changes, begin an exercise program . I now go to the gym 5 days a week I have had no complications and I love life now . Congrats and keep us posted .

  8. Hi I am sorry that this happens to you. This surgury was a God send and saved my life . I have had no problems and take all vitamins as directed, consumed all water as directed, take all my required protein daily and I hit the gym 5 days per week exercise for 2 hours every day . I have no dumping and I love and enjoy life. Everyone must make an informative decision and ensure that this is the surgury for them and make the necessary changes in their life . They must also ask themselves without this surgury what quality of life will they have .

  11. Don't beat yourself up over it next time eat before going to the show or take you a protein bar as a snack, also remember that sometimes if you drink water it cures that snacking. No ones perfert my friend hang in there .
  12. When your hubby calls you skinny, and when your enter a room ther are whistles and you are look upon in envy instead of the elephant in the room .
  13. Hi I think people think they are giving you a compliment or something , I was told your so beautiful to be a BBW I said WTF that's not a compliment , then I when the weight began falling off I had all types of men hitting on me , my thought was this if I wasn't good enough then your not good enough for me now .
  14. Hi I slept in the bed with my husband and a heating pad, after the first two days I was feeling better and resume walking outside instead of around the house, I had no complications and once the gas was gone I was off and walking as much as I could.
  15. I choose the Rny because I only wanted to have surgury once and RNY is the gold standard and I didn't want to have surgery again due to acid reflex . I love the choice I made and I am loving the results , I would advice discuss your options with your doctor, your support team and I'm sure you will make the right choice . I know for me I did because I could only afford to be off work once . I have had no complications and I could have went back to work within one week . Good luck my friend .
  16. Belbloom lol your so right , I'm moving on and their still there , they are the ones who have a problem with my weight lost not me I'm enjoying life and I don't have to apologize to them or anyone for wanting to be healthy .
  17. First congrats on being healthy, I agree with the above statements focus on your water, walking, and trying to get your protein in , you won't get in 80 grams of protein in yet but you will work your way up to it and then you will be getting your protein from both protein shakes as well as food . Good luck and keep us posted .
  18. I agree with the above statements go try on clothes, I bought clothes in different sizes and recently just got into s large dress and shirts. I wear large yoga pants now, Imam only investing in dress I have hid away in pants for to long, the only pants I want to own is yoga pants to work out in.
