I go to one in chesapeake and they also have one in Newport news. Not up by DC but it's just once a month. The nutritionist chooses the topic and we let her take over and then people can input comments or she'll ask people to share if they'd like. Very calm and collected. Once or twice a year there's something called open forum where there's no topic planned, it's more free for all with sharing. But we've had personal trainers come in, a plastic surgeon and they'll also have samples everynow and then! Dm me if you're interested!

I had the same issue. I was initially told to avoid carbs. But I was so nauseous about a week out from surgery they said it may be ketosis making me sick. So I added in some carbs, that helped a bunch. They recommended going back to low carb, so I did for about 2 months and then I had issues with my blood sugar dropping and me being really tired. We did blood work and vitamins were normal. It ended up I was just burning through everything. I workout 5 days a week and am a nursing student in clinicals so I don't stop moving. [emoji28] but we added in a little carbs. I don't count fruit or veggie carbs and limit others to 20g a day. I'm 9 months post op and down 95 lbs. I'm not complaining. BUT I don't recommend anyone changing it up without consulting their nutritionist first. Everyone is different and has different food triggers.

20, wanted to do it when I was 16 but had no support and wasn't really ready for it mentally. I tried naturally for a few years, got down about 50lbs then weight went back up. Finally got in the program and worked on slowly changing habits for about a year. Didn't have any support still so I did it secretly and told family once I had my surgery scheduled. They finally came around and now I'm 9 months out, have family support and my brothers actually going through the program. Wouldn't have changed anything [emoji4][emoji4]

Hey! I started at 355 (atleast that's how much I was when I finally had the courage to step on the scale!) Got down to 326 for surgery. I'm 8 months post op and weighed in at 233 yesterday! I had the sleeve. Went from 4xl scrubs to an xo with room! I struggle with food choices sometimes still, but that's part of the journey. I'm hoping to hit goal at 1 year post op. I'm aiming for 190! I'm 5'7
