Hello everyone! My surgery date is 8/31. I am 40 years old and excited about my future and my new sleeve. I am on my post op diet right now. Everyday gets easier. When my hunger gets unbearable I eat some Protein or veggies.

CONGRATS!!!!!

So days are easier to walk away now so days I need to just taste

How was it to get your spouse, family, and friends to support you? I'm the first one in my circle to do this. I'm not sure how this will go when I share with people about my decision. I have spoken to one of my sisters and my husband, and they are ok.

It was very easy for me to have my family support me the only one that was very skeptical about it with my father he did not want me to have the surgery at all but he's come along

New to the group...Hello! Attended a surgical weight loss seminar last Wednesday and was called by the office today for my first surgical consultation. I have BCBSIL and there are no requirements for a supervised medical weight loss program. So as soon as I meet the psyche c/s and nutrition c/s, I can file the paperwork! Looking forward to a healthier me.

My nutritionist gave me the best advice: change the way you think about food, and eating in general. You're not hungry- you need a Nutritional Opportunity. Think food: I come up with chicken, potatoes , steak. Now think Nutrition: I think if spinach salad with diced turkey meat and a v8 splash. Just changing the word itself changes what I attach to it. It also allows it to be measured. I know I need 60-80 grams of Protein a day, and 64oz Water. Have I met my nutritional goal yet? Nope. Have I met my Food goal yet? Hugh? It's not measure able. So I need 6-8 nutritional opportunities each day. Try it. I'll try to find her website and post it for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
