I lost 150 lbs and gained back 70 lbs. due to living with someone and having no control over the food brought into the house. I lost 30 from that regain by moving alone and regained 10 lbs. I am right now trying to just not gain weight. I am using a calorie app and trying to be more mindful.

I am using a free app called Loseit. It works better on my iPhone than My FitnessPal and has lots more foods calories listed. I highly recommend it.

Go for it!

Give them a call. I am surprised they haven't already given you a surgery date.

Thank you for the reminder. I hope the newbies take note. I had a weight gain due to moving in with my Mom to take care of her. I gained seventy lbs. I have lost forty but am struggling with the thirty left before I make it back to 200 lb. I lost the forty just by moving out of my mom's house away from all her goodies. This last thirty is a killer. I have a lot of issues surrounding food. And dieting often exacerbates them. It tends to be a trigger for me. So how do I diet with out dieting is my constant struggle. The newbie should not be scared away they just need to take note that the struggle isn't over just because you lost the weight. I so wish it had.

Welcome and good luck!

I'm a big fan of Premier Protein's Mango flavored drink.

Good luck! We will be crossing our fingers for you.

Welcome! which surgery are you having?

I recommend Premier Protein protein drinks Mango flavored. It is not a shake. YOu may prefer it. It is more like a juice drink.

You may be eating too quickly. Give your self 20 minutes to eat your small meals. Stretch it out and chew to a paste. I hope this helps.

Wow AZhiker you have so succinctly and eloquently described the mental pain of being obese. I never gotten thin but I try to go against my emotional reaction to withdraw but it is very difficult. People don't see me or don't want to see me. but It try to get out of my own head.

If you are working out hard, you may be adding muscle and this could be what your scale is telling you.

This seems odd to me. I switched to BCBS in order to get this surgery. Mine is out of Illinois. Try another call. Maybe you will get another answer. Is there any way you can switch to another insurance? Where I work we have two alternatives Aetna and BCBS. but then I work for a large multinational. Definitely get your docs team to call they should be very helpful in this if they want to get paid.

Congratulations!
