TAKE A STEP OUT ON FAITH AND YOU TO WILL SEE IT IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE...

Thank you this does sound good, cant wait to try....

WTF.. my surgeon has me on this 1000 calorie diet and im already goin crazy...so if i drink my Isopure shake for lunch and Breakfast this will leave me with 800 calories to eat at dinner.. do anybody have some recipes theyve tried that is good... beside salad.. ive had that.. my thing is i need a mix of things or i will get straight bored... :thumbup:

Thanks guy's.. Let me say im not going to give up... this is something ive been wanting and i believe can help me get healthy.. i will weigh my options with both changing surgeons and the LB vs. GB. it is good to no about the skin.. i know.. i know i shouldnt be worried about skin:blushing: but it is something that has always been in the back of my mind, maybe because i watch to much darn T.V... but its good to know the info that you all have shared, and i will use it. i will def stay in touch to let you all no where im at in my journey!!

God Bless

Today i met with my surgeon for the first time, and he totally crushed ma lil dreams..:frown:I'm 400lb and i was interested in getting the LB, but due to my weight and my BMI this is something "he says" i should not consider... now when i first started doin my research the whole reason for not getting the GB was because of the weight loss sooo fast, and the access skin and the cosmetic surgery most likely needed after being that my weight is high, and with the LB you are losing it at a slower paste so not as much skin...I'm clueless of where do i go now... my surgeon actually told me i should really think about if i want surgery being thaI'm in perfectly good health besides my weight... i no that this procedure is a tool and this is the reason why want it so i can actually see light at the end of the tunnelll.. do u know of anyone who has either had the LB weighing 400lb or someone who has had GB and didn't have access skin, the last thing i wanna do is have to go through cosmetic surgery!! please share all your thoughts...:thumbup:

I jus wanted to add that I also have a 3 1/2 year old, what I decided to do is change his lifestyle along with mine, being that I have to take Vitamins daily, I make him take a multi children’s Vitamin, now of course the portions and food I eat; something’s he don’t like (veggies), but we are a family. just so he don’t feel like mommy is sick that’s why she take medicine every day! Or when it comes down to the surgery, I want him to know that im doing this for the both of us. For me but I did think about him when I started this process! Be truthful... your getting healthy! You are making your life longer! You are using a tool (3 year olds know what tools are) to help you get healthy!!

God Bless...

I'm going through Kaiser San Francisco, and they require you to go to 3 orientation classes, then you have about 4 more appointments before your actual surgery date.. I've started taking my Vitamins exercising, but this food thing is harder then i thought.. i have a 3 year old son, and fixing him lunch for school everyday..lookin at chips, Capri suns,fruit Snacks, is soo hard.. i just need a little advice. how did u get past this hump?

I have a surgery date of Dec. 16th. I have been reading all of your posts and am trying to learn from your experiences and advise. Not at all excited, just very nervous and scared. Just wanted to say hi!

Hello to you... are you excitied.. I'm actually just getting started as well, but you are further than me bc I just got my first o.tation appt which is is on dec 12th... i think after this one i have 4 more to go before i get the surgery... what should i be expecting??? this is so exciting but seems it's gonna take forever!!! good luck to you..

Hello to anyone who reads this... this is my second time visiting this site.. i think it is great to have somewhere you can go and talk to people all over that have either been through the situations or is going through them now... my name is bre and I'm from bay Area California (whoop whoop!!) and I'm about to travel down this journey that most of you have had the chance to already experience!! I'm scared,but then again i look at the positive out come in all.. I have a 3 year old son and i must say i would not have gotten this far if it wasn't for him....every day i live it is for him, the both of us... if you have any recommendations, suggestions you would like to share with me, i would love to hear them.

thank you and God bless!!
