    Trimfit

    If you're considering taking TrimFit, I suggest checking with your healthcare provider or a nutritionist first to ensure it’s safe for you. They can also offer advice on what to expect and whether it's likely to be effective for your specific needs.

    Help a design student: WLS app feedback!

    Hi, I'd like to know about an update. I think design is an extremely good choice of profession, and I hope you managed to become a pro. I am quite interested in such success stories. However, if you decided to choose another profession, that's fine too, tell us about it.
  3. Planning ahead and seeking local support as you progress through the stages of your weight loss journey is a great approach. While I can't provide specific book recommendations, I can suggest a few general types of books that might be helpful as you transition to stage 4 and beyond: Bariatric Cookbooks: Look for cookbooks specifically designed for individuals who have undergone weight loss surgery. These often provide recipes and meal plans tailored to each stage of post-surgery recovery. Nutrition Guides: Books that focus on post-bariatric surgery nutrition can be very informative. They can help you understand the nutritional requirements for your specific procedure and guide you in making healthy food choices. Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Books: While not specific to bariatric surgery, these books offer valuable information on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, making smart food choices, and managing your weight in the long term.

    Hello and welcome to the community! It's great to have you here, and I'm glad you've found a supportive and user-friendly space to connect with others on a similar journey. Making the decision to have RNY (Roux-en-Y) surgery is a significant step towards improving your health and well-being. Many people use forums like this one to share their experiences, seek advice, and find encouragement from others who have gone through similar procedures. It's a valuable resource for learning, discussing, and connecting.

    Shaving before surgery

    Oh, I can imagine how challenging that must have been for you, but you're right, sometimes life throws unexpected situations our way. The important thing is that you and your baby are healthy and safe. The hospital staff has definitely seen it all, and they're professionals who are there to provide care and support during such moments. It's completely normal to feel self-conscious or uncomfortable in those situations, but remember that their main focus is on your well-being and the well-being of your baby. It's all part of the beautiful journey of motherhood, and you're doing great! Sending you positive vibes and best wishes for your new chapter as a mom!

    Newbie introduction

    Your thorough preparation, including lab tests, appointments, and following the recommended steps, shows your dedication. Taking care of your sleep apnea with a CPAP machine is a positive step too. Seeing a psychologist will provide valuable support along the way. It's wonderful that you've checked your insurance coverage beforehand. Keep up the fantastic work, and I hope the upcoming follow-up with your surgeon goes well. Wishing you all the best on your path to being more active in your kids' lives!
