Hi!!!! June 2020 here! It's the great of total chaos! How is everyone???? I'm personally doing really well but I haven't been on bariatric pal in quite a long time! My surgery date was March 14th 2019. HW: 299 SW: 289 CW: 152

I'm Jezzabelle! I'm from Minnesota!

I'm trying to post some photos of myself for my one year anniversary. I have my before picture from the hospital and a few after pictures that are more body shots because I really hate those even after weight l loss but feel safe sharing with all of you. These are photos that show me in my daily life. I'm a mom and a professional singer and gym enthusiast...but it won't let me post t he photos lol.

I'm out a year and recently started having a few while I'm out singing at night. I've never been a drinker before and I've had a hard time controlling it post op. I blacked out two weeks ago which I've never done before. I was with my guy who I trust and counted myself lucky. I don't remember leaving the bar, walking to the liquor store and doing shots there, or getting a lyft home. It was a total wake up call for me and I'm not going to drink anymore. I don't want to think what could've happened if I hadn't been with my boyfriend. I'd say it's not really worth it but that's just my own personal experience with it.

Did it work for you?

I've seen people talking previously about how to reset your pouch. Can anyone recap that for me please?

Well besides the fact that I had gotten overweight which I've started my journey, I think I'm a relatively attractive girl and I don't turn men down based on looks. I date all body types, races, and faces. There are good women who appreciate good men. This it's not your fate. It may be your defeated perception which makes me sad.

Just be yourself. My perfect date is someone I could make it through a date gone awry with. If the actual date itself goes to **** but we're both laughing it off and the conversation is good, he asks me questions so I feel like he's interested in me and he's sharing some of himself so that I don't feel really vulnerable I like that. It feels real. You're really just making a new friend and if you click and the chemistry is there than it will organically grow. Some people are socially more awkward maybe. You day you're struggling to even get responses? Maybe you have a friend of the opposite sex that can look over your profile or go on a fake date with you to curb some of that but honestly I think the right person will just like you for who you are. I went on a fake date with a guy friend and he told me I was to laid back and willing to pay and open my own doors and that I needed to make a man do those things because that's how I'd know a man respected me... I personally don't want to think that much and I do like when guys do those things because it makes me feel special and kind of girly even though I'm fairly independent bit I also like to reciprocate because we're all human and want to feel valued and cared for...so like I said at the very beginning just be yourself. Be genuine and be kind. Sent from my LG-Q710AL using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi! What state are you from? I'm not looking to date but more to make like mined friends! I had surgery on March 14th 2019! 4 months out and I'm down 100lbs. I go to the gym 1-3 times a day. I'm trying to. 1)keep lean muscle on as I'm losing weight. 2) Feel as accomplished and energetic and as amazing as possible 3) Optimize the first year window of weight loss and 4)...well... I honestly just love going to the gym and feeling great about how I've just spent my time. I love showing others that it can be a joy and not a chore. I love love LOVE being active.

I hope your journey goes well. The first few months made me anxious. I'm 4 months out now and feel amazing.

I wishi could show you ALL of my panicked posts around your timeframe from me about not being able to eat. I'm 4 months out now and have finally figured out a way to get my protein in and doing better on fluids. I feel amazing. I wish I could give old me and you a hug. You will figure it out and be good and feel amazing!!!

Holy crap!!!! I'm glad in the end it went well!!!! I'll. be praying for you!!!

How are you doing???

I'm 4 months post op bypass. Does anyone know where our macros should be? I'm wanting to log food in my fitbit app. Also what is a healthy calorie intake? I'm not looking for peoples opinions just if you've spoken to and gotten this info from your Dr or nutritionist or if you yourself have a background in nutrition. Thank you. I WILL be double checking with my own team but won't be able to until Wednesday and just wanted some info to get me through the weekend. Thank you!
