Do not let anyone including family stop you from becoming healthier and most of all stop you from doing what you know is right. I have been one of those people that you see that have lost almost a hundred pounds by myself following the Larry North program, it was a very easy program to adapt to but in the end it was not for me, I bought Nutri System lost over 50 lbs On that , I worked out all the time ,and guess what it still wasn't for me. I was young in my mid 20' like yourself. I'm 35 and me and my wife were really overweight I was 316 5FT 9 my wife was in her 290's 5 ft 11 and we both realized if we are ever to be truly happy and say that we did everything we would change our life's for good. Yes I have heard all the negative things people say and most of them came from people our own size and even close friends. But no matter what this is what we want our lives to be new and better. So keep pushing and go for it.

Thank you for sharing your story I actually got teary eyed. This is what I want and I'm going to do it. I think about the reason I made the call for an appointment in the first place and it was because I'm tired of being unhealthy and I'm tired of not being able to enjoy time playing with my kids. We went on vacation and all I could do was sit back and watch as my kids had fun. I was too big to ride anything and the things I did ride all I could think about was I hope I don't break this thing! I hope noone is looking at me in this swim suit. I made the call to the dr for a reason

I'm 27 I'm 238 pounds with a bmi of 40 my family doesn't really get it because my mom lost weight and kept it off with slim for life and my brother lost and keeps it off with herbalife. The only support I feel I get is from my aunt who had bypass done. I want them to know that it's not the easy way out at all and my dr told me to invite them to visits and support groups before surgery. It's just making me rethink my decision.

Well, no one can make the decision for you and 27 years old is an adult so I would say, do your research and make YOUR decision. But I will say that I'm 49 years (young NOW) and I wish I had done it sooner.

      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
