Im 20 and scared!



Recommended Posts

I wish I was that young when I took control of my obesity. Your body will thank you. Just remember though that it still is a lifetime commmittment to a new lifestyle. It does not end when the weight is gone. Do not be nervous. I know you have a lot of information coming at you and will have for the first 3 months, but don't worry. Take care of yourself, and ask questions. Your bariatric team is your biggest asset at this time and are there to help no matter the question.

I'm 25, so a tad older, but still SO nervous, I am going to my first appt on the 19th of January. Just be proud for making the choices NOW instead of waiting, even 5 years. I would give anything to be able to go back & make this choice earlier.

You don't lose all your hair, it will probably thin out but it will regrow & you can drink but moderation is key.

I'm eighteen, and I had mine done ten days ago! I know exactly what you're thinking about. The first thing I thought when they said no carbonated beverages was 'what about beer pong?!' Ahaha! Honestly, it's not going to ruin your life. You just have to focus the first six months on Protein and drinking Water. Also, when you're skinnier and healthier, your social life will be poppin'! Gotta look forward to being a bad b***h. (;

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
