Thanks much for sharing. More evidence of how this surgery is life changing! Wonderful to hear not only of the physical changes but also of the emotional ones as well. I have a lot if anxiety issues and so many stem from wanting to join certain groups but being afraid th hat I won't fit on because of my weight or how I look. You're experience let's me know that these things are another option post surgery.

Looking good.

Take measurements. Pay attention to how clothes are fitting. Try on a pair of pants that were a little tight before. The REAL progress is in the inches lost. ???? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

The second you say don't think about pink elephants, you can't get them out of your mind. You need to distract yourself. Read a book, go to the movies, or for a walk. Something that will get your mind to a different place. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I take 6 medications daily. They cause dry mouth, diarrhea, liver problems and cost money. My knees hurt standing and walking. I have sleep apnea, hbp, Diabetes and high cholesterol. Motivation to improve my health is not a problem. Looking forward to losing these diagnoses. The weight loss is just an added bonus! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Your medical doctor advised this. Don't let the opinions of nonprofessionals spouting rumors scare you. Women die in childbirth but no one tries to talk you out of it. If your doctor advised bipass surgery, they wouldn't talk you out of that. Listen to the medical professionals. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Trust the process. The rules your surgeon has for a reason. Use the tools you have to get to the 311. You can do anything if you are truly committed. This delay has purpose. Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
