Well I started this journey a few weeks ago it's consumed my life I've researched an read ridiculous amounts! Told a few close friends and family all very supportive of me which I'm very happy about instead of negative reactions! My husband also is excited for me and going to the seminar Wednesday with me. However tho I know quit a few women dealing with a lot of the same issues iam Do u mention gastric sleeve surgery to them and be inspirational and supportive in there journey or do u keep it to urself because of reactions?? I haven't blasted my news on Fb or much else where because I want people to realize the dedication n hard work I went through! What's ur thoughts??!

Spoke with the bariatric nurse today through the program I'm going through and she mentioned I'd only need to show a 3-5lbs lost in the 5 months I have left. Well with my thyroid problem and other conditions it's been very hard to lose anything!! When's the best time to start this diet? And show the insurance I can make these life changes??!

@@ABarnett916X Are you meeting with a dietician during these six months? Usually - it's 6 months of a supervised weight loss program. I met with the Nutritionist who works in my Bariatric Program. She had me start to eat as I will need to post-op. 5-6 small meals a day - Protein and produce, avoid bread, Pasta, rice, sweets, etc. Cut out all high calorie drinks (soda, juice, specialty coffee drinks, etc.). Use small plates and eat slowly (mindfully) - not in front of TV or driving, etc. Read food labels - make sure you know when there's added sugars - also keep to less than 5 gms of fat / 5 gms of sugar per serving (excluding natural sugars that you'd find in milk products, fruits, etc.). Track your food. Do some exercise - even if it is just walking 15 minutes a day. Good luck!
Iam I'll go next week to meet the surgeon and a seminar going over all info but I definitely thank you for all suggestions to get me started!!
