Just turned 31 two weeks ago, and my initial consultation with the surgeon is next week.

I feel like I wasted my 20's being overweight, and limited.. looking forward to spending my 30s enjoying life instead :)

Hello! I'm 31, Class of '98. No surgery date yet. I'm still going though all the pre-op stuff. I hope to have surgery by the end of the year.

I remember the day last year when my "Scene" son came blaring through the doors excited about a buffalo plaid shirt to wear over his Ts. Oh, it was the biggest thing.. I about died laughing.. I think he thought Fall Out Boys invented it! Haha

I turned thirty-eight this month.. People tell me that I don't look it, and I always reply, "well, no... it's because I am CUTE!" Ha! ;p

Hi! :P Not 30 yet....but I will be next month, so I figured I better go ahead and claim this room!

Welcome! Nice to have you here. I am on the other end of the 30s and I guarantee I will not be entering the 40s room until the day after I turn it. ;)

HI everyone im 32 and ready to change my life. I was thin thru my teens until I had my 1st daughter and decided to get the depo shot forbirth control at age 20. Ever simce then Ive been battling with my worst enemy FAT !!!!! I had my last child 7 yrs ago and even gained more. I recently broke my ankle about 5 months ago and that was hell. A broken ankle hurts more than child birth and i tell you girls I had both my girls natural with no main meds at all. I blame the break on my weight. I was in a wheelchair for 3 months and even gained more weight :(. SO im definitely ready for a life change.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
