I have always been a big girl but after the surgery I can Finley unzip my fat sute once and for all lol. I have been reading posts that are very incourgeing and hopeful that I have made the right choice for me. I would like a surgery buddy lol....

Take a deep breath.... now.. stay positive and dont dwell on the negatives. Do what the dr says as best as you can. Start changing your mindset now. take your Vitamins at all the right times' date=' dont drink with meals, Protein first, chew chew chew... pause between bites. WE got this.. I have been practicing since april. Start the changes now to make them easier when the time comes.

Welcome ladies

Big Jim!!! October Illinois buddy! . Sounds like we have a few states in our oct group!! Awesome!! So what changes have u guys started making?? I quit drinking soda, quit drinking out of a straw, and I'm taking all the vitamins I need ready. The not drinking while eating is going to be tough!!

Had my second Nutritionist appt. today and TOTAL disappointment!!!! I had followed all the recommendations PLUS started lifestyle changes (quit carbonated beverages and caffeine, NO SWEETS, journaling, Vitamin and Calcium, STARTED DRINKING Water (nothing but), small bites, chewing freq, no drinking immediately before, during, or after meals, started regular fitness plan etc etc etc... lost 3lbs and it was not enough I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE.....Needless to say no definite surgery date today :(

Awwwww that is a tough blow . BUT the only thing u can do is stay positive and keep doing what u r doing because its all the right stuff!!! And this is why u need the surgery! U r proving your point right? So u have to lose a certain amount before u can have surgery?? DON'T GIVE UP!!!!
