My first seminar is in a couple weeks. I can't wait to get this show on the road.

Great first step:) Glad you're actively addressing your health issues. Best wishes!

I'm so anxious to get started. I have an *** so my PCP had to refer me to the surgeon to start the program and monitored diet thing. I had some blood work done and my cholesterol is off the charts ... over 300, my Vitamin D is too low, my liver ALT was too high. I'm falling apart. Even my sleep apnea seems to be getting worse.
My first intro seminar to the program is in a couple weeks and I can't wait!

Allie589 I’m in the same boat. Down 120 lbs and haven’t bought anything new except a shirt I needed for school (I’m a teacher) and I still bought a 3x. It’s all I know. I’m afraid of having to buy clothes because it’s always been a not fun experience. Trying to get my head around this but I still have a ways to go

I agree with Frust8 I have a psychiatrist for my meds but they rarely have any interest in speaking to me. Therapy is about working out those issues and learning healthy coping mechanisms.

I think this is why they usually enforce a waiting period, classes on nutrition, stress management, exercise and psych evaluation. They want to prepare you for your new life by arming you with the tools to be successful. Im also nervous about starting the process but I'm more nervous about dying early. So I'm willing to give it a try.

Yes and that's very good but sometimes it is good to talk things through and I believe a therapist might be a good idea.[emoji13]

If they do measure your height, don't stand tall, slouch a little or perhaps a slight bend in your knees....

I got my referral to the surgeon.. ill make the appointment ttomorrow.at my PCP I may have worn my steel toe boots and carried my purse when they weighed me..

OMG Jess, i never thought of that, i've already lost some fat pad from my soles due to age, now I'm going to lose more due to weight loss? Oh s**t, has anybody out there seen the Stock Exchange reports today? I've got to call my broker and see if I can buy stock in Dr Scholl's? I'm going to be a definite customer! At least with less weight pushing down maybe my foot bones won't pop through but they may still stay sore. Oh as the carnival barker said " You pays your money, you takes your choice!" It will be worth it to have the rest of my body thinner, I'll put up with footie[emoji119] pain. And if I get small enough there will be a boy toy or 2 to carry my cute cougar body around. Rowll purrrr![emoji197]

Mine never measured my height just took me at my word.

True story—I lost about an inch in height with my weight loss, from the bottoms of my feet losing fat! So if they measure you down the road you can always claim it’s that!

I’m in Nor Cal. The East Bay. I had RNY 12/21 at Stanford Valleycare Dr. Estakhri

Hello Everyone. My name is Erica but in the social media world I go by the name Bariatric Butterfly. I’m a WLS Sister who had the Duodenal Switch in 2009. At my highest I weighed 399 lbs. On the day of surgery I weighed 384 lbs. Surgery got me down to roughly 210 lbs or so, but I managed to get myself back up to 230 lbs before getting real with myself. As of today, I’m weighing in at 164 lbs and have been able to maintain for a while all without starving and drinking shakes all day every day.
Throughout my journey I’ve been asked many times how I’ve managed to maintain a healthy lifestyle and continue to be successful so many years out. I would say perseverance, dedication and commitment to myself regardless of the circumstances. So many have asked about working with me. I didn't want to do it unless the time was right and I had something of value, substance and structure to bring to offer.
Well, I am excited to announce that I am working on a 30 day online program that offers fitness, nutritional, and lifestyle coaching to post weight-loss surgery (WLS) women who are at-least 18 months post op.. Since this is a new program and I have some kinks to work out, I’m looking to work with 8 women for 30 days beginning 04/01 in exchange for both a written and recorded testimony. I want to ensure that the 8 women I select are serious and committed to PERMANENT lifestyle changes.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Daily check-ins for accountability
- Weekly shopping list
- Weekly workouts with videos (gym or home)
- Weekly diet
- Weekly skype or zoom q&a
- Lifestyle modification tips
- Direct access to me via WhatsApp
- Private group community
I don’t subscribe or promote quick weight-loss or any reset diets. If this is what you’re looking for then this is not the program for you. I’m for changing the mind to achieve weight loss success. If you’re ready to make the commitment and get off the yo-yo wagon for good, let’s chat to see if this is the right program for you.

If you know someone that would be a good fit for, please share.

225 to 140
size 20 to size 6

I hope they go,with the lower height so you'll get your surgery. Its not so much,fudging as beating insurance at their,own game. Besides you will get shorter as you get older anyway.[emoji12]
