Girl I feel you! You've done amazing! I didn't get nearly that small, however I did lose 100 lbs to then gain 50 of it back.. Snacking is my issue too. I like chips and sweets b/c they go down "easier". I am changing my mindset and focusing on more protein less carbs and more water! (Super hard for me!) YOU GOT THIS!!

Hi Everyone! My name is Rosie and I had the sleeve done in Dec 2016. I lost 100 lbs and I was so excited. Fast forward to 2018, my husband dies. I meet my now husband and gain 50 lbs. Yes I got comfortable. I miss the old me! The more confident me. So since then I started seeing a psychiatrist to address my food addiction tendencies. I am now on medication to help with my ADHD and depression, which I Feel contributed to my weight gain. I am attempting to be more mindful in my eating. I'm here for support and encouragement. My husband wants to lose weight, so I'm doing the Dr. Now caloric diet. Heavy on protein and light on carbs. Today is day one! Woohoo! I'm excited about whats in store by both fixing my head space and how much I eat.

Hey Everyone! So pre-surgery I had 3 pregnancies with little complications. I was 365 @ the time. My current husband and I want to have a baby, however I've gotten pregnant twice and miscarried both times. Has anyone else had any issues with miscarriage post sleeve? I've been told that its usually the opposite.

Hey Everyone! I saw this was an older post but I was curious about how y'all are doing now... I just started Vyvance, the Dr. started me on 10 mg each day. I'm assuming this will upped, however I am not sure if I am feeling any side effects? Did it take time to start feeling those??

Hi Everyone! I have a question about insurance. My Insurance covers weight loss surgery. I just had twins in June and I've hit all my out of pockets, so I figured this would be the best time to have surgery. My insurance requires 3 diet consults with a dietician. Well I didn't lose any weight during this time. I met wth the psychologist for the evaluation and she said that I would be a great candidate. So I'm worried I won't be able to have surgery bc I didn't lose the weight.... anyone else's gone through anything similar? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Everyone! My dr put me on a low card/high Protein diet. I have been using my fitness pal to track my intake. However I have cheated on 3 meals already and am worried of the outcome of this.... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I feel ya! I'm only on day 3 of my 2 week diet and have cheated three meals. I'm so worried that I may have really messed up! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's my surgery date too!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Everyone! I go see the surgeon today to discuss my date. I've started my 2 week pre-op diet so it will be soon! I'm really getting anxious! I'm excited about the potential life changing aspect. However I'm conflicted bc I can't believe I'm about to make such a life changing decision and my relationship with food is about to change drastically. On one hand I'm like Rosie it will be ok! On the other hand I'm like how on earth did I let myself get to this point?? Does this sound like normal emotions or am I just crazy?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks everyone! I'm on day 3 of my preop diet and I was Craving a chicken fried steak and we went and got one.
