Anyone having surgery and under 200 lbs. I have been getting a lot of backlash from people saying I don't need surgery. I have no support in this! 5'2 195#

My name is Veronica. I'm 22 years old. I've been in the process of preparing for surgery. I find out my surgery date for the gastric sleeve on February 7th. I am so excited. And motivated! This is going to be my "before" photo. And I will post photos as the weeks go by. Currently I am at 256 pounds. I'm trying to loose 10-15 pounds before surgery. post-311725-14858409978342_thumb.jpg

I don't have that many "full body" photos of myself because I don't really like them.

I know it is all about you and your health, but I think you look good as you are. This is by no means me trying to discourage you, I just want you to know you are an attractive girl at your current weight.

I had mine at 250 lbs. I wish I HAD done it at 200! I'm 5' 6. You do what is right for yourself. I'd say fatty liver is a big deal and a good reason.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
