New Here- What All Do I Need To Know



Recommended Posts

Hello- my name is Amy, I'm a 28 year old Mom of 8. (edit- mom of 6, not 8, lol) I'm 5'3" tall and 225 lbs. I've tried nearly every diet under the sun including hcg, raw vegan, no s, weight watchers multiple times etc. I'm sure myt story is similar to the rest of you. I hate buying clothes, so I kindof live in rags. I hate going out in public, and I'm absolutely NOT living life. I want to be the best wife, mother, daughter etc that i can be. I want to be me.

I just heard about this surgery last week and I am set on going to dr. kelly. I'm calling his coordinator today to find out more.

whbat do I need to ask the coordinator? Or does she know all that I need to know and should I just listen? I have called this morning but I believe it was like 6am there. I'll wait a bit.

I have spent a lot of time on youtube watching videos of patients that have had the surgery etc trying to get educated- what all do I need to know? Is there a link somewhere where I can dfind info? I am SO SO SO SO EXCITED, I can barely stand it! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Dear God, please let this be my answer! I need an answer. I'm miserable in this prison of fat.

      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.
