Hello ladies! I'm very new, had my first official appointment last week this starting my 6 month pre-op journey. I have a couple of friends that have had the surgery that I've been asking any advice.
Although I'm excited for this journey and ultimately the surgery, I'm a little apprehensive about it. Like it may not actually be a reality and I'm going to wake from this dream and it'll be psych! The jokes on me.
My weight has been a struggle since puberty and I'm ready for that to end and start life as the woman I've always wanted to be.
I know the next 6 months is a journey to learning how to eat properly and the lifestyle changes and reprogramming how to eat and nutrition.
I've been told that if I lose 17lb, which can realistically happen in 6 months, that I will no longer qualify. Which is causing some issues for me... having to keep a food diary, make diet changes, eat properly, etc.. how do I all that and NOT lose 17lb ?!?!?
I've already been told by a friend who's had the surgery to start biotin now to lessen hair loss post surgery. And to start experimenting with protein shakes and find something I like now so post OP I'll not have any problems.
Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!
I would suggest :
Using the search feature on the site. Chances are there's a thread already created (with a wealth of information) about a question you may have
Taking a ton of full body ph
