Down 108 pounds, 96 overall inches. Feeling great!

Don't freak out. Take some, but don't beat yourself up about it. Be kind to yourself. Good luck!

I'm the exact same way. It does get a little better when you are eating solids because they will fill you up faster. I didn't ever feel "full" or "stuck" though until one day like 5-6 weeks out when I was eating too fast. Then I quickly realized I really did have restriction! I agree with the protein first because it really does help. I just keep telling myself that this is better than the alternative of getting sick with everything I eat... and I am losing weight just fine.

B12 is vital to your health. Google it for more information. Talk to your doctor about starting ASAP. Your weight loss is great, however. Keep it up!

It's a bad thing that I do. And usually I can catch myself, but I literally catch myself judging and I literally had surgery a little over a month ago and am nowhere near where I'd like to be. I don't even think I'm like thinking of them as a fat person, just someone whom truly can't control themselves

You were stressed out for nothing [emoji12] Glad to hear you are approved.

If I had a Dollar for every "They are going to Harvest your Organs" comment I could have paid for my Surgery with Dr. Illan. I think if I had it to do over Pre-Op I would have had more funny come-back lines to Help battle peoples fear of Foreign Surgery. If you do decide to be open just be prepared for all the personal concern and baggage people will put on you, they think they are looking out for you but it truly is just their limited knowledge on the subject that is speaking. It is now my mission to use my weight-loss and recovery to Help others learn about a Safe & Affordable option if their insurance won't cover Bariatrics. Let me also Congratulate both of you for making a Great decision in Surgeons, I Promise it is the Best Vacation you will ever take.

3 month follow-up went well. Down 90lbs total. Surgeon is happy with the progress. He wants me to focus on working out more and strength training to lessen the potential for excess skin in the end. Having this surgery was the best decision I have ever made. DS on 12/30/16

I had my surgery on the 15th and was suppose to start on the 22nd but never started... Will I just be late or will I skip this month? Sent from my LG-M210 using BariatricPal mobile app
