i was 520lbs at my heaviest before i started my pre op diet. I had my surgery on dec30th of 2015. I had my 3 month post op visit this morning and i am down 104lbs. I feel amazing my energy level is through the roof and i can do a lot of things i couldn't do before. I really been working hard every day with exercising and sticking to a strict diet. I do not and will not become the person i used to be.

i watch the show pretty often and it really makes me upset. I love to see these people succeed and you are right its very sobering watching them. The shower scenes are the worst and need to go.

I'am just about 6months post op and my mental health as slowly been on the decline. My anxiety is really bad with borderline panic attacks daily. I'am not sure if the surgery triggered this but i never had an issue prior.

Im still doing 2-3 premiere shakes a day. I eat chicken or fish everyday and as far as exercise i walk around 4-5 miles a day with my dogs thats pretty much it.

Dating has been difficult for me since the surgery. I was sleeved back in december and started dating in the spring. I have dated 3 different people and this last one has been going on 2months now and i think its going well. I feel like i can trust someone better that i knew before i lost all my weight. You tend to get a lot more attention now than you do before you lost the weight.

Down 177lbs in 6months now. The best advice i can give is follow your surgeons orders to a T. Drink lots of Water and cut out all carbs and sugars. I pretty much eat Proteins and veggies. I also exercise pretty much every single day. I hope to hit my goal weight by my one year anniversary.

I just did a google search for local therapists in my area. None took my insurance so i had to pay out of pocket but they have a sliding scale so its not awful. I go every other week and I can't for sure if its working because its still new but I'm going to give it a shot before i consider taking any medication.

I don't really have any advice for you but was just wondering what type of therapy you're doing and how you went about finding a therapist. Being obese or formerly obese messes with our emotional wellbeing so much, and I definitely have struggled with anxiety as well. I have never even felt confident enough to start dating, although I have lost the majority of my weight. It would be great if you wanted to talk more about this sometime and maybe help support each other. Message me anytime!

I had to take anxiety meds yesterday. It was a rough day and I usually would find comfort food and chow down. I wanted chocolate so bad! I took my anxiety med and vented to my very kind husband, and then had a less satisfying sugar free Popsicle. I think awareness helps you make good choices, but sometimes you just have to go through that tunnel of anxiety and get through to the other side of it. I feel your pain. Anxiety disorders STINK!

You sound just like I did at 6 months! I do have an anxiety disorder, and it was almost unbearable for many months. I felt like I shouldn't go outside, or see people, or do anything. I felt paralyzed by worry/fear/self-consciousness. I think a big part of this was the fact that the reality of who I was and who I was becoming was drastically different than the self-image and identity I've had for most of my life. We spent our lives trying to understand and accept ourselves while the rest of the world is often outright cruel, and trying to deal with who we were as morbidly obese people in a society that not only rejects us but often completely hates us and hurts us.
My advice is to focus on facts. Focus on the objective truths about who you are now, and who you may be soon, and who you were before but aren't anymore. Pictures helped me a lot. You can't be expected to create an entire new identity and self-image in six months, so don't beat yourself up for being confused and lost. This too will pass, I promise you. You and I and many other people here are going through a kind of breaking down and rebuilding that very few people can even fathom, let alone deal with. Just remember why you did this in the first place, and keep in mind all of the good things that have happened to you since you started changing. Allow yourself to be excited (or at least cautiously optimistic) about the wonderful things that are headed your way. Focus on your health and self-care. You deserve that!
Please don't hesitate to friend me or message me anytime. My highest recorded weight was 442 but I KNOW I was nearing or maybe at 500 at one point. It's different for those of us who were that big. Fat people are never really accepted by society but at that size, many people think it's okay to treat us like we're subhuman and undeserving of love or even life. It's hard to transition into being an "average" person. I totally get that. I struggle with it every day.

Talk to your PCP. It's unusual for the weight loss to trigger this at 6 months but you never know. No one should feel the need to live with anxiety - there are meds that will help and therapy is good at anytime!

Premiere chocolate is the best in my opinion. The vanilla ones taste like chalk.
