I had my psych evaluation yesterday and she said she doesn't think I'm emotionally prepared for the surgery. She wants me to see her once a week, for how long? I'm not even sure. Says I show clear signs of depression and looks like I just need someone to talk to. I've told myself this for a while but kept brushing it off. I didn't have expectations going in but hearing that didn't cross my mind. I don't want to just stop the whole process because that's what it is, a process. I just feel like I took a step back.

Don't be discouraged, this is only going to make you healthier and stronger in the long run. Remember that during the months of preparing for surgery, we are working to improve ourselves to support the healthier individuals we shall become. Not just to look good, but have healthy body, mind and spirit. If it takes a few more weeks or months, it will only help you more.

Good luck, YOU GOT THIS & remember, we are here to support!

I know it's discouraging, but it should also be encouraging to know that your surgery team cares enough about you to be sure that you are prepared and ready for what comes after. Good Luck moving forward!

I got cleared right off the bat with physic. Nutrition is the one I can't clear. I've already seen her twice. The first time was because I wasn't ready. Second time I lost what she wanted me to lose. Started working out 6 days a week. She looked at my food log and wouldn't clear me. Because I ate 2 small slices of frozen pizza.last month I would've eaten 4. I also went out to eat and had 5 French fries , last month I would've eaten 2 baskets. I was very upset, when she told me to make another appointment for 2 weeks.I was ready to quit the program.

I only need to lose about 70 lbs. I could probably do it on my own, but I don't have the dedication to keep the weight off. That's why I want the surgery.

I couldn't agree more! I had a monthly nutritionist check in. So had more time between. I saw a post that recommended finding alternative ways to cook what we like...for instance in the case of pizza, I found a recipient that you make the crust out of cauliflower (you can find a bunch on YouTube) then add tomatoes, chicken, soy cheese. You can even make the cauliflower into a brad like form and make a grilled cheese (soy of course) "sandwich.

Not only did it help me loose some weight, but the nut liked the effort and helped me with her approval!

I know you will be just as successful in getting to your goal, YOU GOT THIS!

      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?

      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
