Hi. Haven't been here in a while. I just had my one year follow up with my surgeon on September 12th. I can't believe that an entire year has gone by since my surgery. I was 197 pound on the day of...

I am almost at my eight month surgiversary. Things have been going very well. I have been exercising at the gym and am quite pleased with the amount of stamina I have. I can easily do 45 minutes on...

I have had bad body image issues for many years. I also suffered from bulimia. It has been hard to overcome the eating disorder issues. I just keep on fighting though.

Hey everyone,
I haven't posted here in a while. I have been busy working two jobs and just dealing with life in general. Things have been ok. Still dealing with some depression and my anxiety has...

Congratulations! It sounds like you really are doing well. Coming off of diabetic medications is fantastic. It is frustrating when the scale stops moving but it does start up again. I am just over...

I'm getting there with the leg crossing thing. Not quite but it is getting easier than before.

It is good to read these things from you experienced folks. I got way off track when I started my new job and then the holidays hit, my weight loss has stopped and then I gained three pounds. I like...

I just had my three month post op visit with my surgeon. They are very pleased with my weight loss (and so am I) I have lost 58 pounds total since I started their program in June. I have gone down...

You look great!

Ask questions, do your research like everyone else said. I can relate with the depression. I wish you well with whatever you decide to do.

Have a great trip and Happy Thanksgiving!

I found protein shake mixes on a website call Bariatric Food Source. The chocolate brownie flavor is great. It is 15 grams of protein but I boost it by making it with the fairlife milk. The mix can...

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

I'm glad to hear things have gone well. Hope fully your recovery will continue to go well.

I can relate about weight gain from meds. I am bipolar and I was on some meds years ago that caused me to gain over 50 pounds. I could lose a little but I would always gain it back and then some. My...

I went to try on scrubs for my new job. They have to be special ordered but the store has samples to try on. The salesperson asked me what size I needed and I told her I don't know. I haven't tried...

I never asked. Like Christie said I don't think it matters much.

Glad to hear you are doing well.

I've gone from a 28 pants at my heaviest (26 just prior to surgery) to a 20, 18 in some pants. It is such a good feeling. I am addicted to trying on clothes lol!

I'm tolerating solids pretty well. I get full much quicker as I am sure people have mentioned here before. I still drink one protein shake a day because it's a convenient breakfast and I get 28 grams...

I'm sorry this happened. I agree with the others about the law suit. It is so frustrating when you have healthcare professionals that don't listen. If he had just heard you it could have prevented...

Just wanted to post a bit of an update. I was transitioned to solid foods a bout two and half weeks ago. Things have been going well. Last week I finally broke my stall and have lost another 8...

I have never heard of it. Sounds interesting though. Keep us posted with how it goes for you.

Congratulations! You are doing so well.

I am only 7 weeks out from my surgery. I know though how hard those first few weeks are. I too felt depressed and not myself. I have started feeling better the last week or so. I go to a weekly...
