Good afternoon so one day i went to the doctor office and i was 297 lbs. I became depressed because i don't know how i allowed myself to gain so much weight. I stop going out because i felt ugly and i felt that bigger people was looking at me with disgust. I felt that heavier people like to make people feel bigger in order to draw attention from themselve. i tried weight watcher's, walking and change in diet, i lost and gain back. I did not tell anyone about my choice to have surgery in order to avoid everyone opinions. I had the surgery july, 6 2015 and so far i lost 31lbs and a lot of friends weird. Can someone tell how was the first six months please?

My 1st 6 months was primarily about getting into good habits:

*Learning to choose the right foods

*Sticking with my diet guidelines - 75% Protein, 25% good carbs

*Getting into a regular exercise routine - for me it was walking

*Learning to have faith that WLS was going to work for me. I hit a stall about once every month, and it freaked me out each time. I had to learn to have confidence that what worked before would keep on working. My body just needed a time-out to adjust to this new way of life.

I think those are the biggies. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.
