I agree with the above statements you have this forum to help you we have all been there take one day at a time stay focus you have the support of your family and your friends here everyone here has been wonderful good luck my friend .

Congrats your on your way and feeling hood is only hoping to get better with time.

What you are feeling is normal but you deserve to be healthy for yourself and your daughter, the benefits that you gain from being healthy, the mobility as well as the energy that you gain is so well worth it. I am 3 months post opt and I would do my surgery 100 times again. The energy that I have as well as I am off all medications was so worth it, I now can exercise 5 days a week at the gym, something I could have never done prior to surgery as well as I am wearing dress's again something that I have not done in 18 years. You got this stay focus and positive and if you are still having second thoughts after your procedure seek out a therapist sending you prayers, easy recover without complications. Keep us posted on your progress.

Congrats I know how you feel I was a type 2 diabetic and was taking 6 shots a day after my surgery on the day I was release I was no longer a diabetic keep up the great work.

Dabberdoo congrats on your choice to be healthy and thank you for sharing this information, i personally do not have ay liver problems but I know someone who does and is looking on seeing if her insurance will approve her for surgery. Keep us posted on your progress and welcome to the losers bench.

I have been drinking Protein drinks for a year now I started drinking the pre-opt while going though my 6 month pre opt supervised weight lost prior to my surgery , I drink a Protein Drink everyday now and probably will be drinking one for the rest of my life. This gives me 30 grams of protein a day which is a big boost toward my goal. I would buy to many pre-opt because your taste buds will changed, I too bought the unjury as well as unjury chicken noodle Soup and i cant drink it now unless I force myself. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Congrats on your choice on being healthy as well as your approval, this is an exciting time in your life and before you know it you will be a new you. Keep us posted on your progress.

I agree with the above statements, chicken, beans, and fish are excellent source of protein, I can no longer eat cheese or eggs but I have found that tuna, fish and chicken is excellent.

LOL you told them right there are so many people who make comments without thinking and are so judgemental this is one reason people do not like going to the gym as well. Congrats on your choice to being healthy , I can tell you that I am 3 months post opt and this was the best decision that I ever made. Good luck and keep us posted.

Congrats your doing great I just had my months post opt visit and my doctor says I am doing great laps were perfect and I am feeling great. I have even turn into a fitness geek ,I am working out for 1 hour for 5 days and I am back again wearing dresses. We all got this enjoy everyday because you are one day closer to getting to your goal. Keep up the great work my friends.

Your doing great as long as you are following your doctors rules and feeling ok your fine, congrats on your weight lost and pending surgery, you got this.

Hi I had my husband and my children helping me but honestly if you have no complications you can do it on your own I sent my husband back to work the day i got release from the hospital which was was two days after having surgery i could shower by myself and get up and walk around to prepare my food. I would prepare my home with the foods that you need and as long as you have a phone and no complications you should be fine, because I could have went back to work 1 week after of surgery . Good luck my friend and most clinics have 24 hour aftercare hotline you can contact if you have any questions after your surgery.

Wow congrats and soon you will have a new you and off and running around with more energy than you could remember. Keep us posted on your progress and congrats on your choice to be healthy.

I went back to work after my first check up but I could have went back to work after 1 week, like the statement above I felt great and had so much energy that it is unbelieveable . I now work out 5 days a week and I am only 3 months post opt no complications at all and my surgeon says Im doing great. Good luck and congrats on your choice in being healthy.

Hi they go by your starting weights when you first go and starting BMI.

Hi I would cut out all paste , how much Protein are you getting in as well are you getting in 64 ounces of Water? Your lost has been great You are getting in enough exercise so thats not the problem. If you are meeting all of the above I would ditch the Pasta for a Protein shake. Good luck my friend and keep us posted on your progress.

First congrats to everyone for making the choice to be healthy, it is very important that you record everything you eat so that if you have stalls or problems you know what it is. Using myfitnesspal is an excellent tool to track all food I have been using it now for 1 year. I never go over my calories as well as I know exactly how much protein I have consumed as well as water intake. Make sure you are getting in your 64 ounces of water as well. Just like an early post your taste buds changed, and I am now addicted to exercise and work out 5 days a week for at least an hour and my two off days I walk.
