please help! i have fallen into complacency....i was all reved up and rearing to go mexico (haven't decided on a doc yet) then i fell off the motivation bandwagon. i think a lot of it is coughing up the dough, but the biggest lack of motivation is the absolute stonewalling i am receiving from the hubby. so, HELP!, i am in the comfort zone trap! if i can get over the fear of taking on the debt, i'm golden....(sounds horrible, but screw the hubby if he is going to act like this) and please, you may mean well, but i don't need ways to talk to him. i have tried everything! he is ACTIVELY making it harder for me to go. i need talk about bang for my buck! LOL!

I would venture to guess that your hesitancy may be coming from a place other than just the money, because you knew the cost when you first explored this option, and it didn't deter you then. Maybe your husband's negativity is wearing on you and creating doubt. You're in a tough situation, as I know how badly loved ones can sabotage you when you're working on self improvement. It leaves them feeling very threatened and vulnerable. Additionally, your positive changes will open options and opportunities for you that may have you scared too. All you can do is trust that you are deserving of looking and feeling better and all the wonderful things that will come with that! This is not an expense. It's a very wise investment that will SAVE you money many times over through the years. You go girl!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
