Like Boston states above...people generally comment/post about negative issues and problems. Kind of like giving reviews at a restaurant etc. the regret/fear may be normal, heck, I haven’t had my rny yet (due to in 3.5 weeks) but sometimes I think, “what am I doing?!” But I have read where people have complications but fight through them and end up doing well and they don’t regret their decisions still. Continue doing great! You got this.

All checked in and waiting to go back for my surgery! I have been extremely anxious and nervous this week! Can’t wait to start this journey!

04/18/18 marks the day that I finally made it to Onederland! I never thought I'd be here, and still have work to be done, but it feels so awesome to be able to say I'm under 200 lbs. My highest weight was over 340, so to be here feels really awesome. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Yes, there is a great deal of question whether statins have any effect on ANYONE--but especially on women. The studies tend to point that statins have not reduced all cause mortality. If memory serves, but don't trust Chemobrain. It used to say that men with ACTIVE heart disease and who have had a cardiac event benefit from statins. But in my belief, changing your diet and exercise (resistance training rather than, or in addition to cardio) will make REAL improvement in your cholesterol--rather than the improvement shown on paper with statin use. It has to do with the VLD particles and what type they actually are and what statins reduce. (VLD=very low density lipoproteins).

02/16/2018 two month out from surgery. Sounds about where I was in calories. Are you hitting your protein goal? Are you able to eat every two to three hours? Concentrate on your protein goal. Calories will increase as you get further out from surgery.

Yes, I bought XL t-shirts from Groupon and Woot several months before I needed them. In general, if I’m buying clothes, it’s in the next size down from where I’m at now. Today I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my suits can be taken in, and for free, since the charge I already paid for tailoring was for the life of the suits.

Frito Lay and others make something called Puffcorn, absolutely no hulls. But those are empty snack calories, give your brand spanking sleeve or pouch something lower calories and healthy instead. Besides the oils etc alway gave me bouncing bad indigestion. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm really not going to debate with you... but if you're a scientist you wouldn't have put a news article as a source to prove a point. lol Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I tired to see if it would help with pain. I don’t do well with pin meds. It didn’t help but that’s more so because I just don’t prefer it. You might try CBD oil, it didn’t work for me but I have heard it has helped others. I’m just difficult!! Lol Hw-378 Sw- 363 (2/27/18) CW-338

This is a great question! I have the same. I am getting surgery middle of April but I currently use cannabis for chronic pain and problems sleeping.
