You are my new inspiration! You look fabulous! And I will definitely take your advice as I am a newbie 3 months in and down 40lbs but I could do better. And looking at you and your advise has inspired me to keep it moving! I want to be like you when I grow up with God on my side all the way! Be blessed!

Thank you [emoji4][emoji176]

Unfortunately I can eat whatever I want now, no restrictions, nothing makes me sick anymore so with that being said whenever I stall I would strictly only have Water, yogurt, eggs and salmon for 2 weeks straight. Whenever I gain more than 2 pounds I make myself go hard in the gym and lose double the amount I gained.

Those are little things I do because I love how I look and want to maintain it. I would say go hard and don’t be tempted for the first 12 months of surgery. Because after that 1 year your weight loss will stop completely and you WILL struggle to lose those last 10-20 pounds.

So don’t cut off but limit carbs, Snacks etc atleast in your first 12 months. That’s when you’ll get the most and rapid results don’t let anything get in the way of you reaching your goal!

Wow!!!! Fantastic! You’re an inspiration to us all!!!

NSV: so i randomly went jean shopping and the size 4 actually fit, and really fit. I thought i was going to have to squeeze into them for dear life lol. I've been fat my whole life so this is new to me. The fact that i'm actually a small still blows my mind, but yet the scale still says im overweight smh. I'm still going to view this as a victory.

I fear and love my God with all I have. This decision I’ve made to have this surgery is dependent solely on my relationship with him. I have to be ready mind body and sole and depend on him to se me thru completely before during and after! Pray for me as I pray for all of you.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Jesus is the Divine Bariatric Physician. He will never leave us or forsake us. I start my preop diet tomorrow.

I'm not a sleever but I'm definitely a Christian who believes that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we could think or ask. I'm scheduled to have Bypass on May 27th and am so thankful that Jesus has kept me throughout this process. I know He'll be with me during surgery and after. I'm praying for your peace and strength through this process ????

Definitely interceding on your behalf! God is good...even when I was riding the crazy emotional roller coaster ride of this journey. Be patient, it'll happen

Wow 100 lbs that's great. I have a long way to go and haven't got started yet waiting on the financials so keep me in your prayers I'm tired of my life being put on hold it seems like due to my weight and they way people act towards me now since I'm not thin. God bless you for responding just needed to hear that. Thank you so much pray for me!

@Aliyah14. Hi I'm definitely Christian & was sleeved in December. I've lost 100+ pounds and owe it all to Jesus! BTW, while folks may not make their religious preferences known...One can get a pretty good idea where someone is spiritually by the consistent tone of their posts and the negativity/chaos that follows. Be mindful & guarded as negativity is contagious. Peace & Blessings on your journey!

Just want to meet some people who are share the same faith as me and are going through the process or already have gotten their sleeves. Without Jesus idk where I would be today and I know he will bless my surgery to be complications free. My faith is in Christ.

Talk to your doctor's office. Be honest and see what they say.

Hey. I did the same thing except with macaroni. Just jump back on the wagon and move forward.

I heard a really good saying taking my pre surgery nutrition class. "Even if you slip up once in the day, you have 5 more eating chances to make the right decision in the same day." Don't give up on yourself for one slip. Keep going and eat right the rest of the day, it will make you feel better. Thank you for sharing your experience and good luck.
