Ammariehs mommy

Thanks! And yeah it has to be some thing big for him to be gone for a month or more. That's a lot of money he's missing. Lol

Yea! Good luck!

You are definitely not alone!! I felt that way when I decided to try for the surgery. All of my friends except 2of them said don't do it. And now that I have lost about 40pounds on my own they are like see you can do it alone. Then they will tell me some horror story about something they have heard about the surgery. So that scares the crap out of me. I'm already nervous about it. I don't need any help being scared. I just told them don't talk to me about it anymore. If they start I will shut them down and tell them hush it. I am ready to live again. This weight has had me basically shut in the house for years. I mean I go out but I have to plan trips. I can't go anywhere without scooters because of my knees. I'm ready to walk, walk, walk again! Screw everyone else and their feelings! This is our life and we deserve to be happy again!! Good luck to you!! Feel free to message me anytime we can support each other!

I am in the same boat as you right now. My mother who is also over weight doesn't support me either. I try to talk to her about it and she always changes the subject. My sister who is very self centered and if the subject isn't about her also could care less bout my surgery. I'm still pre op also and it's been tough going through this by myself. I have found people on here to be more supportive then my own family. I am still going to go through with the surgery. I have been so worried about others for so long now it's time to work on myself. Don't worry about others this is your time to shine! Get healthy and I'm sure in the end they will come around. And if they don't its their loss!

I ordered a bottle of the bariatrics chewables already. So I have one. I was trying to wait till after my surgery to see if I could tolerate the taste. I don't have a date yet so I still have a while to go.

I have a question about vitimans. I'm a pre op and I'm trying to learn as much as I can before my surgery. Can you take your vitimans whole or do you crush them up? I know it's harder for you to digest them. I know the prenatal pills can be on the bigger side do you always take the chewable kind?

Good luck!!

I was 484 and my surgeon wants me under 450. So I had to loose34 pounds before he would see me for my second appointment. Every doctor is different. Mine just said he didn't feel comfortable doing the surgery with me over 450.

Thanks girl! And you are on your way! It does feel like time drags on but in the end we are going to be happier and healthier!

It is a long process to get the where you want to be. I am still pre op and it feels like its been for ever! I'm just now on my second appointment. And that's the end of the month. I had to loose 34pound to get that appointment. I'm still struggling to keep the 34 pounds off. I don't want the surgeon to turn me away because I gained it back. Where are you at in the process? Do you have to loose any weight before hand? Good luck with everything!

Omg girl that's great!! And that dress is beautiful!! You are my motivation!

Aww I'm sorry you feel so bad! Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow.

With the yogurt you guys are eating do you eat the ones with the fruit in them or the ones that have low sugar? I really can't stand the bitter taste of plain yogurt. I've tried all the plain ones on the market they all are nasty to me. I'm still pre op but I see a lot of people post op eat yogurt daily.

Ok thanks!

Ok so I bought these yesterday because they said sugar free on the box. But I got home and it says sugar alcohol. What is that? Does anyone know.

Where do you find them? I've been looking at wal mart here I only found the sf popsicles there.
