New&Improved

Looking good and much younger

There are so many different brands of protein out there just keep trying? Are you using a proper shaker cup that dissolves all the powder so not lumpy? I kept hearing about optifast from everyone but my dr said all you need is a good high protein low fat low carb powder...

From a man's perspective you look great. A bikini works wonders keeping everything together. Your top half looks good you didn't lose your curves which is lucky. Very good looking lady! May I ask your age x

September to may is 8 months and lost 134lbs very well done. Was your start weight above 400? How is your hunger now days. Were you lucky with no hunger like some?

Best to speak to a bariatric surgeon. But with reflux issues a BYPASS might be best but your doctor's will know more

Totally understand where you're coming from. I'll be 35 this year. Been big most my life haven't had a partner since high school been a very independent single male for like ever. Unlike women, men can have children at any age where the female clock can stop at 40. I've never had any luck with dating at my size even though I know there's many big guys with wife and kids and all that good stuff, I'm not sure how they are able to do all that and it has made me sad at times you know because I came from a huge family and love kids and hope to be a dad some day. I feel now I'm looking at surgery it is the perfect time for me to finally get my life back on track. Lose the weight. Get healthy and fit then find a nice girl and start a family... As mentioned earlier it is harder to find a girl as you get older because most have a bunch of kids or baggage but I've already decided because I want a big family I'll definitely have to look at ladies about 10 years below me so that there's no issues with them having children as if I hope to have 4 children that could take up top 10 years! I also feel much younger at heart and have to remind myself exactly how old I am sometimes and in that way I feel I relate to younger girls much better I'm in no hurry to grow old whilst I still enjoy being young and fun and after losing the weight my body will match my personality It's not so much the overweight person it's the personality if a person is negative and pessimistic that would annoy me much more than someone just being fat, because a big girl May be open to your help and if they know you've been through the same thing and can help them that may help even if you meet the fittest person they will never understand where you came from... Like a bigger person will. also there's many stages of overweight, a girl can be curvaceous and only be like 50lbs over which is much different to someone whose 400+lbs keep an open mind

Nothing wrong with sticking with protein shakes a little longer and definitely good idea to find something to keep your mind active

Your body will be adjusting and struggling for the first month's it all takes time

Yes with age it gets harder to deal with but I've heard if you can to some situps etc it may help I'm not sure though

Well Insurance usually deals with the 2 most common. Either RNY BYPASS or VSG sleeve. One is a little more aggressive than the other. There's tons of research to be done. From my own research I feel bypass is the most successful since you may need to lose what 80+lbs Temporary things are pretty useless if you can't do it on your own surgery is the best choice.

Goodluck to everyone.. I'll be having RNY in September my first surgery can't wait

I wanted ds but insurance won't cover plus very few places in Australia even do it... I've heard overall it is the most aggressive and best weight loss??

Hey there good to see you're making a change. Not being rude but would 736 be some kind of record? If you need a friend I'm here. Are you having bypass..

Excellent you're an inspiration! I take like 6 different meds for diabetes type2, BP, cholesterol,

Being able to buy clothes from a decent store good brands not just big and tall.. Being able to walk around for hours to keep up with my family. Being able to fit on rides better. Not dealing with sweat between rolls (tmi) Not being looked at everytime I go out to eat. Being able to run for more than 30 seconds. Well be nice to have some female attention for once! Fit people get treated better in every aspect of life especially when shopping! Being able to fit into my sports car better Being able to go hiking it's been about 6 years.. Being able to save money on food and being a cheap drunk if I ever do drink. My biggest one is hopefully not to be hungry constantly every day, eating to live not living just to eat!

That's the plan to live long life !

True there's a bunch of people who have actually had good experiences in Mexico so just keep researching please do not settle for less..

They pump your body full of air in surgery

I would be really worried even if there's an ounce of truth in it.. is there no other surgeons in your area? It is a huge life changing stomach altering Operation...

Very good to hear I'll be 35 this year I'm at 320 plan to get down below 200 maybe 190!!

Don't stress app much on the little things. Think positive you w will become a whole new better person. Healthy lifestyle. This surgery is a life changing event.

Google is your friend look for alternative protein sources like spinach tuna salmon teach your body to accept better food.

I think posture is definitely a big change with less weight on your body

Yes RNY will fix many things. My dr said it's great for those who suffer from type2 diabetes so that's a big reason for me to go RNY

I know last time I lost a significant amount of weight my shoe size got smaller so I could wear nicer shoes !
