Im 20 and scared!



Recommended Posts

I'm just scared ' date=' I herd you loose you hair, can't drink alcohol. I just don't want to loose my social life[/quote']

If you keep your Protein up around 80 grams a day and take your Vitamins you should lose very little hair! As for the rest I don't know. I don't drink and I have kids! Lol! But I can fellow you- I wish I would have done it sooner! I wont lie to you. This has been the hardest 3 weeks! Its been very emotional and trying but each day is getting better and better. After people start tellingnyou how wonderful you look and you start not fitting in your clothes anymore after only a few weeks you will remember why you wanted this to begin with. I had about a week right when I got home thatni would have done anything to go back in timenand not have had the surgery but it got better quickly. This forum has helped me a lot! Feel free to post anything. I have never had anyone be mean or condescending with a reply. Just a lot of people who have been there and understand!

I'm 20 too and pretty nervous. But I just think of it like this: I am young enough now to turn my life around. I have already wasted too long being overweight, never doing the things I wanted to or going where I want. Now I have the tool I need (sleeve) to change my life so why wouldn't I do it? We are still so young with so much to look forward too!!! Good luck xx

P.s message me if you want to chat sometime :)

I'm 19 and I got sleeved yesterday. I'm already at home I feel good. Just sore. For your pain mess get liquid not the whole pills. It helps and sip on Water. Constantly. You will do fine. I was FREAKING OUT LIKE PANIC ATTACK. But it's all good. The anticipation was the worst. Keep in touch.

I'm 60, was 59 when I had my surgery. Listen, you don't have to be young to be scared! I was bawling my eyes out on the way into the operating room!! And before the surgery, when I was considering it all, I was scared to death of the lifestyle change I knew must happen.

It all turned out to be so easy... so hang in there, this will be the best thing you could do for yourself!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
