Allie - ABSOLUTELY!!!

Maryuumah: PLEASE create it. It will be IMMENSELY valuable to MANY people including myself.

Thank you.

Did you make a LGBTQ community here?👀😍🥰  I would love to be part of it. My weight gain was partially due to challenges I faced in my sexual orientation journey in my early 20s for sure.

Every BODY is different, don’t obsess with the scale .

Give yourself Grace


Happy New Year!!!!😊

Hi everyone,

I submitted all the documents 2 weeks ago to my Surgeon’s Office. I’m awaiting:
1. 2 more appointments with my Surgeon Signing the consent form, picking a Surgery date and taking a quiz while at the 2nd appointment
3. Approval letter from the insurance company

The Holiday season is up on, it’s obvious that my Surgery won’t be next month like I wanted . It will be in January

Can we make a Facebook group so we can chat daily and cheer each other along?

Eat less( eat 5 times a day not 12 times a day but make sure you get your macros in).........eat in a certain window for example between 7am and 7pm only. dont eat and drink at the same time. These are ways to make sure your pouch or stomach doesn't stretch too much from this point on. You got this!!!!!

You've done such a great job. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. My surgery is scheduled for 12/22/21. I’m still going through the pre op clearances. I’m in Florida. But we can be friends any way

BEAUTIFUL, well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bxnaija: I messaged you. Go to your PCP AND set up consultations with surgeons ASAP


Update: I will no longer get the gastric bypass surgery. I am going to get the duodenal switch surgery. YouTube it if you haven’t heard of it. It’s a great tool to have especially someone with over 100lbs to lose like myself. 🥰😍

I was Drinking 6-8 Premier Protein shakes plus 1 solid meal for dinner

^^^ I did worse than you. I was Taking in too much Protein.


Now I’m doing Whole Foods for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. If I’m hungry aside from that, I drink only 1 premier Protein Shake during the day. I’ll have surgery in a few months. I wish I was losing a lot of weight but I’m not. Pcos and fibroids makes it extremely hard to lose more weight.

You are doing great!!! Just drink 1 shake a day or none at all. Save the shakes for the liquid pre op diet. You got this!!!🥰😍

So sorry about that.

Find people for support- loved ones, people in forums such as this one. I can be that for you. Message me, let's support 1 another.

DO NOT let anyone dim your light. Do what is best for you regardless of who is for or against it, PERIOD!!

For people who needed to lose a minimum of 100lbs AND were on depo provera pre & post op……: : Were you able to reach your weightloss goal of losing 100lbs+?
( Some ppl gain weight from depo.)

Agreed!!! I think a lot of folks who have struggled with coming to terms with/ accepting their sexuality have also struggled with food or body image!

I'm pre-op (for revision). I'd probably gain weight at 1500 calories. Over the past three months, my calorie count has dropped from 1200 to even under 1000 per day. I'm OK with it. I swore off sugar and flour 3 when I started the pre-op dieting. I don't get the cravings I once had although the first month was a b***h.
Protein Shakes are a game-changer. They weren't around when I had my gastric bypass 30 years ago. I usually substitute 1 meal per day with a Protein Shake.
I've discovered that there are vast differences among the brands. I prefer the taste of the plant-based Protein to the whey-based.
