Jessica Ellison-Correa

so i saw the doc in august per my insurance i have to have 6 months of classes and all the tests and so my wls date should be in 7-8 months anyone else having surgery around that time

i used to be a pot smoker every day and it agrivated my bipolar symtoms to the point where i became severly suicidal and did a whole bunch of other things and overdosed in an attempt to kill my self i know this isnt the norm but if you have a family history of mental disorders you might want to consider not smoking weed for that purpose but to each their own. i miss the pain relief pot gave me but i can do just fine on opiods

wow your younger than me and had the surgery thats giving me some hope im 24 ill be almost 25 when i have the surgery in march of next year

wow congrats i hope to be your weight by this time in two years (can't have my surgery until march 2016 )

wow that's amazing progress im hoping to be rid of the meds and the cpap machine once ive lost the weight as well

that's amazing motivation hon

Baltimore, MD

wow congrats on maintaining two years out

im noticing with the diet the nut put me on im buying less already and i am eating out less and i am losing weight so thats good i just cant wait until a can of tuna lasts 2 meals that will be awesome

wow congrats thats amazing

im a type 2 diabetic im only on meds not insulin but im hoping to be off the meds when i leave the hospital

im worried about my mood stablizers i take several a day because of my metal health related issues and if i dont take them im terrible to be around so hopefully im not the house hold terror that i was when the hubster met me

at the end of the day do they want you to die a premature death due to being sick or do they want you to get healthy in the best way possible with proven methods that work. you want to be around for your kids to one day see them have babies of they're own

jedi hugs to all the newbies

@@Bloomer723 my 6 month wait also ends in febuary and i have been doing the once a week new behavior thing as well week 1 was no soda week two was night time snacking im going into week 3 and its limiting grazing between meals im a huge grazer on nuts love them

im so glad i have the support of my hubby and his entire family i could not go through this journey with out them i know its genuine because anytime i need to vent they're always there to listen offer advice or just talk to me it also helps that they are doctors and nurses so they can explain the medical side of it as well

i wish i could get my friend to read your story hes got the same history as you and im worried he wont live to see 40 he desperatly needs this procedure even more than me

am i the only one who had the option to do the seminar online its mostly because me and the husband are anti social and dont like driving to places just to do something if it can be easily done from the comfort of home. so no crazies and i got all the info and had to take a short quiz to prove i watched the video

well for the sleevers this week congrats i know how excited you all must be. for todays sleever if your not out of surgery just yet or if your in recovery hopefully your not in too much pain remeber to walk walk walk and also walk

yeah i went on vacation and gained back all the weight i lost that first week but ive gone back on the plan and im hopping that i can lose all the 2 pounds i need to for the weigh in next week

wow i am about your measurements and am going through the 6 month classes per my insurance hoping to drop 40 pounds between now and march which is when i think i will get sleeved then i am projected to lose 100 pounds

about how much did that cost i know im going to need it for my stomach and legs but not my arms so oh and my boobs

i havent had the surgery yet but from what ive read on here just get back to basics 90 grams of protein a day get in your 64 ounces of liquids and get up to 3-4 servings of veggies

im in a similar boat with my husband but hes trying to lose weight with slimfast. he says if he cant keep the weight off by this time next year he will get the surgery which makes me happy because i just want him to be healthy

i remember a while back i was engaged to a guy and at first he was amazing he was in school and was motivated to get a degree and was going to do mma then life hit him in the nuts and he shut down like he wouldnt leave the house for days on end and eventually his fathers health issues took him and then it was like he became a shell of him self after a year of dealing with shell fiance i couldn't take it i had to get out. so we broke up then and old friend of mine called me up and invited me to a party now 4 years later were married and going on an amazing journey together and im the happiest i have ever been. so yes breaking an engagement is the best thing i ever did because now i have my life on track to be the healthiest i have ever been in my life
